Diskette Drive and the NEC VersaBay II

A standard 1.44-MB diskette drive comes installed in the VersaBay II slot on the front of
the system. The VersaBay II expansion slot allows the user to replace the standard diskette
drive with a number of different NEC options including a CD-ROM reader, a second bat-
tery pack, or an additional hard disk drive using the release latches on the bottom of the
unit.

Infrared (IR) Front Assembly

The front IR assembly is connected to the I/O board via connectors P7. The rear IR assem-
bly is discussed later in this section.
The front IR assembly consists of a small board with infrared LEDs. The board allows the
NEC Versa 6000 series computer to communicate with other infrared-ready computers. For
example, the infrared ports allow the user to transfer files between the NEC Versa and an
IR-equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.
