General disk handling information
If you’re new to working with floppy disks and
are not sure as to how you should handle these
delicate accessories, please read this section for
some useful information.
Inserting a Disk into the disk drive
Floppy disks must be inserted into the disk drive
label side up and shutter first. Push the disk firmly
into the drive until it “clicks” into place.
Avoid forcing a disk into the drive and hold the
disk straight while inserting it.
Ejecting a Floppy Disk
Before ejecting a disk, make sure that the disk
drive operating led is off and that the SK760/880
display is not currently showing a “Loading” or
“Saving” message.
To extract the disk, press the eject button and
remove the disk.
The Write Protect Tab
Floppy disks contain a write protect tab which
allows you to protect valuable data from being
accidentally overwritten.
To prevent writing data to disk and so avoid acci-
dental erasure, slide the tab fully down to “open”
the window.
To permit writing data to disk, slide the tab fully
up to “close” the window.
Disk not protected Disk protected
Use a pen or other pointed object to set the tab
as shown.
Handling Floppy Disks
When handling floppy disks, certain precautions
should be taken to avoid damage or data loss.
• Do not open the metal protection shutter or
touch the surface of a disk
• If your SK760/880 has to be transported,
make sure that a floppy disk is not inserted
in the disk drive. Vibration may cause the disk
drive head to scratch the disk, rendering it
unusable.
• Do not store or place floppy disks in close
proximity of television sets, computer moni-
tors, loudspeakers, or other devices that are
potential sources of magnetic fields. Doing
so may render the disk unusable.
• Do not store or place floppy disks in loca-
tions subject to extremes of temperature and
humidity, direct sunlight, or excessive dust
and dirt.
• Do not place objects on top of a floppy disk.
• Return disks to their protective cases after
use.
