To insert a diskette, hold it so the side with the label is up and the cutout or door is pointing away from
you.
For a 5.25" diskette, open the drive door by turning the lever so it points toward the red indicator light.
Insert the diskette so the oval cutout is on same side as the lever. Close the drive door by turning the
lever 90 degrees clockwise. To remove the diskette, turn the lever back, 90 degrees counterclockwise.
For a 3.5" diskette, push the diskette into the door until it is seated in the drive. To remove the diskette,
push the eject button on the front of the drive.

Mounting Diskettes

Whenever you insert a diskette into the disk drive, you need to tell the computer you did so by
using the MOUNT command. This is true even when re-inserting the same diskette you just took
out. If you forget to use the MOUNT command, AMOS won't know which diskette is in the drive
