General disk handling information

If you're new to working with floppy disks are not sure as to how you should handle these delicate accessories,
read this section for some useful information.

INSERTING A DISK INTO THE DRIVE

Floppy disks must be inserted into the disk drive label side up and shutter first. Push the disk firmly in until it
"clicks" into place.
Avoid forcing a disk into the drive and hold the disk straight while inserting it.

EJECTING A FLOPPY DISK

Before ejecting a disk, make sure that the disk drive operating LED is off and that the PK7 display is not
currently showing a disk operating message.
To extract the disk, press the eject button and remove the disk.

THE WRITE PROTECT TAB

Floppy disks contain a write protect tab which allows you to protect valuable data from being accidentally
overwritten.
To prevent writing data to disk and so avoid accidental erasure, slide the tab fully down to "open" the window.
