Apple Duo 270C manual Type a name for the disk, and then click OK

3.Click MS-DOS.

4.If necessary, click the capacity (in K) of the disk you inserted.

If you want to initialize a high-density (ú) disk in MS-DOS format, 1440K is the only option and it is already selected. If you inserted a double-sided disk, click 720K.

Apple File Exchange cannot initialize a high-density disk in 720K format, nor can it read a double-sided disk that has been initialized in the high-density (1.4 MB) format.

Disk capacity is the same for Macintosh and MS-DOS high-density disks.

5.Click Initialize.

When initialization is finished, a message asks you to name the disk.

6.Type a name for the disk, and then click OK.

MS-DOS filenames can have up to eight characters, followed by an optional period and up to three characters.

The name of the disk you initialized appears above an empty window. The disk’s icon doesn’t appear on your PowerBook screen because the PowerBook can’t recognize a disk in MS-DOS format.

7.Choose Quit from the File menu.
