Formatting Disks
Before any floppy disk (new or used) can be used with the AT-90S/80S/60S 
it must first be formatted (prepared).
Formatting a floppy disk erases all information stored on the disk, and puts 
it in a format that is acceptable for the device in which it will be used. If a 
floppy disk is in a format that doesn’t match the format of this unit, you 
won’t be able to use that floppy disk.
1.
Make sure that the write protect tab of the floppy disk is in 
the “Write” (permit) position.

2.
With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert it 
into the disk drive until it clicks into position.
The disk drive is located to the upper right of the AT-90S/80S/60S’s 
keyboard.

NOTE
Formatting a disk destroys 
all data previously stored 
on the disk. If you’re 
formatting a used floppy 
disk for reuse, be sure to 
check first to make sure the 
disk doesn’t contain any 
data you don’t want to lose.
