Chapter 3 Using the Registration Buttons

Formatting Disks

Before any floppy disk (new or used) can be used with the AT-80SL/60SL it
must first be formatted (prepared).
Formatting a floppy disk erases all information stored on the disk, and puts
it in a format that is acceptable for the device in which it will be used. If a
floppy disk is in a format that doesn't match the format of this unit, you
won't be able to use that floppy disk.
1.
Make sure that the write protect tab of the floppy disk is in
the "Write" (permit) position.

With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert it
into the disk drive until it clicks into position.
The disk drive is located to the upper right of the AT-80SL/60SL's keyboard.

NOTE
Formatting a disk destroys
all data previously stored
on the disk. If you're
formatting a used floppy
disk for reuse, be sure to
check first to make sure the
disk doesn't contain any
data you don't want to lose.
