Formatting Disks

Before any floppy disk (new or used) can be used with the AT-20S, it must first be for-
matted (prepared).
Floppy disks must first be “formatted” (initialized) before they can be used by the AT-
20S to store data. “Formatting” is the process of erasing any data which may have been
on the disk and making the format of the floppy disk match the format of the device. The
AT-20S cannot use a floppy disk that has a format differing from its own format.

Formatting a disk will erase any data that may have been stored on it. Carefully check any
previously used disk to be sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
