If you have two diskette drives, you can use the top drive (A) for loading the operating system and application programs and the second drive (B) for creating data. If you have a hard disk, you will probably need the diskette drives just to copy files to and from the hard disk and to copy diskettes.
Note
You can load
Working with a hard disk is similar to working with a diskette. However, the hard disk provides several advantages:
CI A 40MB hard disk can store as much data as approximately 30 1.44MB diskettes, and a 100MB hard disk can store as much data as approximately 70 1.44MB diskettes.
QYour computer can perform all
CI You can store frequently used programs and data files on the hard disk, eliminating the inconvenience of swapping diskettes to access different files.
The added storage capacity makes it easy to move back and forth between different programs and data files. However, because it is so easy to add programs and files to your hard disk, you may find yourself trying to organize hundreds of files.
