Backup copies
At the end of a work session, always remember
to copy all elaborated data present on RAM or
Hard disk to Floppy Disks.
Should you accidentally erase some files from
RAM, or should the hard disk suffer damage and
data loss, you will always be able to recuperate
the data from your disks.
It is advisable to keep backup copies of all your
disk data. "Backup" is technical jargon for "a sec-
ond copy". Backup copies stored in a safe place
are extremely important. Disks can become dam-
aged or lost, so please backup your work.
Disk Drive Head Cleaning
After a prolonged period of use, disk save and
load errors may become frequent due mainly to
dirty disk drive heads, indicating that the disk drive
head may need cleaning. This can be done us-
ing a good-quality fluid-type head cleaning kit for
3.5 inch (double-sided) disk drives. Do not use a
cleaning kit intended for single-sided disk drives.
1. Moisten the cleaning disk with cleaning fluid.
2. Insert the cleaning disk into the disk drive.
3. Execute a load function. An error message will
appear. This is normal.
4. After approximately 10 seconds, eject the disk.
Do not use the disk drive for about 5 minutes.
