NOTES: Tape drives are not reflected in the Diskette Drive A and Diskette Drive B options. For example, if you have a single diskette
drive and a tape drive attached to the diskette/tape drive interface cable, set Diskette Drive A to match the characteristics of the
diskette drive and set Diskette Drive B to Not Installed.
If your system has LS-120 SuperDisk drives installed in place of 1.44-MB diskette drives, set these options to Not Installed.
If your system has a 1.44 MB diskette drive as Diskette Drive A and you install a SuperDisk LS-120 diskette drive in one of the lower
externally accessible drive bays, the system will automatically assign drive letter B to it.
