Making Backup Copies
Copy all diskettes that contain programs, as you did the master system diskettes that come with the Equity LT-286. After you make your copies, store the originals in a safe place away from your working diskettes and use only the copies.
Chapter 1 describes how to make backup copies of your system diskettes. For general instructions on copying diskettes or hard disk files, see Chapter 5 or your MS-DOS manual.
Write-Protecting Diskettes
You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can copy data from it, but you cannot store new data, modify existing data, erase files, or format the diskette.
The write-protect mechanism is a small switch on the lower-right corner on the back of the diskette. To write-protect the diskette, slide the switch down toward the edge of the diskette so there is a hole where the switch used to be.
