Notes
on
Diskettes
Diskettesareprecision recording media. Handle them carefully,
as
described
under
Section5, Careand Maintenance. Be sure you don't touch the exposed
diskette surfaces.
Before
inserting the diskette, check the write protect notch. (See
illustration.)
If
you do
not
want to write to that diskette, it
is
a good idea to
leave it "write-protected". This way, the Operating System will
notlet
you
accidentally write to that diskette. To write-protect a diskette, just leave the
write-protect notch UNcovered.
(See
Figure
4.)
If
you do want to write to the diskette, cover the write protect notch with
gummed-foil tape provided with the diskette.
