The best diskettes are those which give the most trouble—free recording, storage, and retrieval of information for the longest period of time. Look for those incorporating features which lead to minimum head abrasion and which shield the diskette from environmental hazards (like dust particles) in a strong, durable jacket.
The following table illustrates a number of diskette manufacturers which Rana Systems has found produce consistently high quality media. For advice on diskette care and handling turn to the section later in this manual headed Mainte— nance.
The following tables of diskettes include both soft and hard sectored diskettes. If you are familiar with diskettes required by non-Apple systems, this may puzzle you. Don’t worry, the tables are correct. Apple uses a kind of “no sector” format in which the index hole(s) punched in the diskette (which is the difference between soft and hard sectored diskettes) is completely ignored.
