Floppy Diskettes
Gasboy recommends that you make backups on double-sided, high-density, 3.5-inch floppy
diskettes. Format the diskette before use if you did not purchase pre-formatted diskettes.
Pre-formatted diskettes are readily available and will save you the time of formatting.
BACKUP requires blank, formatted diskettes.
