Never turn off or reset the notebook while the floppy activity indicator is lit.
Keep the AC adapter at least 6 inches away from your drive.
Insert the floppy into the floppy drive slot with the label side up and the
metal-shutter end first. Gently push the floppy into the floppy drive slot until
the floppy clicks into place.
To remove a floppy, press the eject button until the floppy pops out.
Never force open the access shutter on a floppy.
Always remove a floppy from the floppy drive before turning off the computer.
Never transport the commuter with a floppy in the floppy drive. Doing so can
damage the drive head.
If a floppy appears to be damaged, try to make a copy of it, and immediately
discard it.
Keep all floppies when not in use in a disk storage box to protect them from
damage or loss.

Installing/Removing PCMCIA Options

Type I or Type II PCMCIA options may be installed in the compartment on the
left side of the notebook. Type III Options may be installed on the right side of
the notebook with the Floppy Drive removed and the PCMCIA Option installed.
To insert a PCMCIA card, align the card with the socket and slide the card into
the socket until it locks into place. To install a Type III option, you must
remove the Floppy Drive.
To eject a PCMCIA card, go to the Windows 95 Control Panel, select PC Card
and select the card to stop; then press the release button and remove the
PCMCIA option.
