2/10 APRICOT 340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK

Removing a diskette

Before attempting to remove a diskette, make sure that the drive is
not currently in use (the diskette activity indicator on the computer’s
front bezel must be unlit).

Press the

EJECT

button on the drive. The drive mechanism

disengages and the diskette is ejected half-way out of the drive.

If a diskette becomes stuck in the drive, perhaps because its label has
peeled back, do not attempt to remove it with tweezers or any
similar implement; you risk damaging the drive. Call an authorized
maintainer.

Write-protecting a diskette

A diskette can be write-protected by sliding a small tab towards the
edge of the diskette to expose the little hole beneath it (see
diagram). With the tab in this position, you can read, copy or print
files from the diskette, but you cannot create, rename or delete any
files.

The BIOS Setup utility can completely disable the diskette drive.
