or floppies interchangeably: they are all the same thing. Unlike
cassettes, you only have to put the disk into the disk drive and type the
commands to LOAD or SAVE programs: there are no buttons to push.
There are a couple of small lights on the front of the disk drive. The
green light is the power light, telling you whether the disk drive is turned
on or off. The red light tells you two things. During normal disk drive
use, when a program is being LOADed or SAVEd, it is it while the disk
is spinning in the drive. If there is a problem with the diskette or drive,
the red light flashes on and off, even after the disk stops spinning in the
drive.

cable is connected. Then turn the power ON.
STEP 2 Insert the disk into the disk drive The label side of the disk

labelled end goes in last. Look for a little notch on
the side of
the disk (it might be covered with a sticker). This notch should
be to your left as you put in the disk, assuming that you're
facing your disk drive. Be sure the disk is in all the way.
