Parallel Port
FDD Cable
Using the Floppy Disk Drive as an External Drive
You may use the floppy disk drive as an external drive that is connected through the
parallel port, by using an optional FDD cable (CF-VCF351).
CAUTION
Do not move the drive while accessing data on the floppy disk.
Firmly hold both sides of the drive when removing a disk. Excessive force on
top should be avoided.
NOTE
When the computer is on or in the suspend or hibernation mode, if the floppy
disk drive is accessed after it had earlier been disconnected, there are in-
stances where the contents of the floppy disk set prior to the drive removal are
displayed.
Do not try to access any of the files. If an attempt is made, an error message
may be displayed or the display prompting you to format the disk may appear.
(When such a display appears, press the [Cancel] or [No] to close the display.)
The above contents will no longer be displayed when the drive is re-connected
or when the computer is restarted.
When the SuperDisk drive pack is installed in the multimedia pocket, the floppy
disk drive cannot be used as an external floppy disk drive.
The CD-ROM pack, SuperDisk drive pack and DVD-ROM drive pack cannot
be used as an external device.
