Formatting Disks

Floppy disks must first be “formatted” (initialized) before they can be used by the AT-15 to store data. “Formatting” is the process of erasing any data which may have been on the disk and making the format of the floppy disk match the format of the device. The AT-15 cannot use a floppy disk that has a format differing from its own format.

NOTE

Formatting a disk will erase any data that may have been stored on it. Carefully check any previously used disk to be sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
