Using Floppy Disks
o You may want to copy or move files between an
MS-DOS computer and the UNIX PC.
You can read from or write onto most MS-DOS
floppy disks. To use the MS-DOS data files
with your UNIX PC, you must have equivalent
applications installed on both computers or
create a program to translate the data.

Displaying the Contents of the Floppy Disk
To see what is contained on a UNIX PC floppy disk, you
must insert a formatted floppy disk into the floppy
disk drive and choose the Display Floppy Contents
selection. You cannot use this selection to display
the contents of an MS-DOS floppy disk or a UNIX PC
Backup floppy disk. You use the Format Floppy Disk
