■ Care of Floppy Disks
• Do not use or store your disks where they will be ex­
posed to high temperature, high humility, direct
sunlight, dust or dirt.
* Do not open the shutter. To do so exposes the
magnetic disk to harmful dust, dirt, and scratches
which may prevent correct reading and writing of
data.
* Keep away from any source of magnetism including
T V sets, speakers, transformers, telephones, and
magnets. Magnetic fields will corrupt or erase your
data on the disk.
• Never transport the DSS-1 while a disk is in the drive.
The head will bounce against the disk, damaging the
magnetic disk surface and the head itself. This will
cause loss of your data and make the disk unusable.
• Never place anything on top of a floppy disk. The disk
may become deformed and unusable.
■ About the WRITE PROTECT HOLE
* The kind of floppy disk used in the DSS-1 has a "write
protect hole" which, when open, prevents you from
erasing or changing disk data.
Move the tab to open or close the hole as necessary
to prevent accidental data loss or to allow changes to
be made. Refer to the diagrams here. Be sure that
the tab is fully to one side or the other. (It gives a click
as it goes into place.)
■ Backup Copies
Regularly make backup copies of your disks and
store the copies separately. This is your only insu­
rance against accidental erasure or corruption of your
valuable data. To make a copy, you get the data from
one disk, then write it to a different disk.
