Saving Data on Floppy Disks
The external FDD (CF-VFDU01) and Port Replicator (CF-VEBM31) are required to use
floppy disks.
Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button
while the FDD indicator is on.
Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the disk useless.
Use care when handling floppy disks.
To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming
stuck in your computer, avoid the following:
• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness,
or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.
Confirm that no important data is on the disk,
because all data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving important data.
This prevents your data from being erased
or overwritten.
Computer Viruses
Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software
and use them regularly.
We recommend you run the software:
• When booting your computer.
• After receiving data.
We recommend that you check data received on floppy disks or from external
sources, such as data downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed
files, please uncompress them before running a check).
