Back Panel
The back of the disk drive contains an IEEE-488 interface connector. Near the
panel's lower edge is the power ON/OFF switch. There is also a "slow blow" fuse,
and the AC power cord.
Interior Configuration
The interior of your 2031 contains a disk drive and all the necessary logic for
disk operation. The mechanical device is, for the most part, located beneath the
disk spindle.
The Diskette
The diskette (also known as a minifloppy, floppy diskette, minidiskette, etc.) is
similar to the standard flexible disk. You should ensure that you buy diskettes for
SOFT SECTORED FORMAT. Your Commodore dealer can supply your needs.
