Ejecting a Diskette

Because the SuperDisk drive has a motorized Diskette Eject button, your computer must be turned on in order to eject a diskette. Do not turn off your computer until the diskette has been ejected.

The diskette will not eject if the computer is still writing to the diskette.

To eject a diskette, complete the following steps:

1.Push the Diskette Eject button. The diskette will eject from the drive.

2.Remove the diskette from the drive.

OR

From the Windows desktop, double-click the My Computer G icon.

3.Right-click the 3½ Floppy (A:)H icon, then select Eject. The diskette will eject from the drive.
