DO NOT use MAGNETIZED tools when repairing or adjusting a disk drive.
DO NOT place a disk drive near any device which generates "noise" e.g., motors, radios,
televisions.
DO NOT stack drives upon each other or in any way inhibit air flow around the unit. HEAT
BUILD-UP can cause disk failures.
Periodically CLEAN the read/write head with 90% isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.

Take the following precautions when handling a diskette:
