Types of floppy disks
The TRINITY can use MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2DD and 2HD disks. When formatted by the
TRINITY, a 2DD disk will have a capacity of 720 Kbytes (9 sectors/track) and a 2HD disk will
have a capacity of 1440 Kbytes (18 sectors/track).

Floppy disk handling

When handling floppy disks, please observe the following points. If the surface of the magnetic
disk becomes dirty or scratched, loading or saving data on that disk may become impossible.
• Never open the shutter or touch the surface of the magnetic disk.
• Never transport the TRINITY with a floppy disk inserted in the disk drive. Vibration may cause
the heads of the disk drive to scratch the disk, rendering it unusable.
• Never allow a floppy disk to come near a device that produces a magnetic field (television,
computer, computer display, speaker, power transformer, etc.). Doing so may erase any data
recorded on the disk.
• Avoid using or storing floppy disks in locations of high temperature or humidity, in direct sun-
light, or in excessively dusty or dirty locations.
• Do not place other objects on top of a floppy disk.
• After using a floppy disk, replace it in its case.

Floppy disk write protect

Floppy disks have a write protect tab that prevents data from being accidentally erased. To "write
protect" the floppy disk (so that data cannot be written or erased), slide the tab to expose the hole.
Slide back the tab to close the hole when you are formatting a floppy disk or saving data on the
disk.
Write protect: lower the tab to open the hole
Inserting a floppy disk
Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive with the label facing up. Push the disk into the drive
until it snaps into place with a click.
Forcing the disk into the drive will cause malfunctions. Insert the disk carefully, and be sure it
enters the drive straight.
