Using the 3.5-Inch Diskette Drive

The Model H80 has a 1.44MB diskette drive installed vertically in the front.

The 1.44MB diskette drive can format, read, and write diskettes compatible with the following diskettes:

Ÿ 1.0MB diskettes with 720KB formatted data capacity

Ÿ2.0MB diskettes with 1.44MB formatted data capacity (HD) Format the diskette according to its specified capacity.

Write-Protecting 3.5-Inch Diskettes

Write-protecting diskettes is necessary so that important information is not accidentally lost.

When

diskettes are write-protected, you can read information from the diskettes, but

you

cannot write information onto them.

There is a write-protect tab on the 3.5-inch diskette.

To locate the write-protect tab, turn the diskette over with the label facing down.

Ÿ To prevent

writing

onto

a diskette, slide the write-protect tab to open the protect

slot, as

shown in

the

following illustration.
