Using the floppy disk drive and optional Zip drive
You can use the floppy disk drive and the optional Zip drive to back up important data and to
transfer files between computers. The floppy disk drive accepts only 3.5-inch floppy disks.
Although the floppy disks and Zip disks are different, you work with them in the same way.
Be sure to use the right kind of disk in each drive.
Important Never force a Zip disk into or out of the drive. Never use ordinary 3.5-inch
floppy disks or floppy disk cleaning disks in the Zip drive. They will damage the drive.
For information on using the floppy disk drive, see Mac OS Help (available in the Help
menu) appendix of this manual has information on handling floppy disks and Zip disks. If
you are unable to eject a disk, see the Emergency Handbook that came with the computer.
For more information on using the optional Zip drive and disks, see the Iomega folder in the
Apple Extras folder on your computer’s hard disk.
Connecting audio equipment
Your Macintosh can play and record stereo sound from a variety of sources. Your computer
has sound input and output ports (also known as “jacks”) like those found on most
Macintosh models. Some models also have RCA-type audio input and output ports.
The sound input and output ports
Your Macintosh can receive stereo sound from a sound input device—also called a sound
source—such as a microphone, tape deck, or audio CD player.
You attach sound input devices to the sound input port, which is marked with an icon of a
microphone (≈).
Your computer comes with a built-in speaker. You can attach another sound output device,
such as amplified speakers or headphones.
You attach sound output devices to the sound output port, which is marked with an icon of
headphones (f) or a speaker (-).
The illustration of the back of the computer in the beginning of this chapter shows where
these ports are.
Note: Depending on the computer configuration you purchased, your computer’s back
panel may have additional ports alongside the sound input and sound output ports.
