Connecting The External Diskette Drive - Toshiba Satellite 200 Series User Manual

Connecting the External Diskette Drive

The computer's 3.5-inch diskette drive is useful for installing soft-
ware on the hard disk, exchanging information with other systems,
and making backup copies of the files stored on the hard disk.
Your computer uses an external diskette drive mounted in an exter-
nal chassis. This section describes the external drive and how to
connect it.
If you prefer, you can remove the CD-ROM drive and install the
diskette drive into the SelectBay. See "Swapping Drives in the
SelectBay" on page 104 for more information.
The external chassis works with the diskette drive only. The
CD-ROM drive only works when installed in the computer's
SelectBay.

A protective flap inside the disk insertion slot automatically
retracts when you insert a diskette. Push the disk eject button to
remove a diskette from the drive.
