INTRODUCTION
Thank you
for
purchasing the SHARP
Floppy
Disk
MZ-80FB/FBK.
It
is
a peripheral
for
use
with
the
SHARP Personal
Computer
MZ-80B which can operate a
maximum
of
4 drives.
We
believe
that
it
will
be
very useful
as
an
external
memory
unit
because
of
its large capacity and high speed
access.
Read
this
instruction
manual carefully before using the
Floppy
Disk
so
you
can
use
it
correctly.

Braided Wire
Remove the signal cable connected
to
the MZ-80FB signal
terminal. However,
if
connected
to
the I/O side,
leave
it
as
it
is.
2 Connect the signal cable
that
was
removed
as
explained
above
to
the left-side signal terminal indicated by
"IN"
on the back
of
the MZ-80FBK.
Besides,
firmly
fix
both
sides
of
the connector
with
the screws
to
fasten it. This
method
is
the
same
as
that on
page
3, section (2)
and
(3).
(Fasten screws in
two
places.)
3 First connect signal cable MZ-80FCK
to
the signal terminal
of
the MZ-80FB.
Use
either cabie connector. Then, in the
same
way
as
mentioned above,
firmly
fix
both
sides
of
the
connector
with
the suppl
ied
screws
to
fasten it. (Fasten
screws in
two
places.)
4 Connect the connector
on
the other
end
of
signal cable
MZ-80FCK
to
the right-side signal terminal indicated by
"OUT"
on
the MZ-80FBK. Then, in the
same
way
as
men-
tioned above,
firmly
fix
both
sides
of
the connector
with
the suppl
ied
screws
to
fasten
it.
(Fasten screws in
two
places.)
5 Finally, connect the braided wire between the
FG
terminals
of
the MZ-80FB
and
the MZ-80FBK
and
also
connect a braided wire between the MZ-80B
and
the
MZ-80FBK
as
shown in the Fig. on the left.

1 Diskette
This
unit
uses
a
5.25"
mini-disk
that
records on
both
sides
as
the recording medium. Its external appearance
is
as
shown on the left.
It's
called a diskette and
is
a magnetic
sheet covered
by
a jacket.
2 Inserting a Diskette
1.
Put a finger on the
bottom
of
the
front
door
and
lightly
pull this
door
toward you
to
open it.
2.
With the label side up and the
head
window
forward,
insert a diskette
in
the slot. There
is
no other way
to
insert a diskette correctly.
3.
Push
the diskette
lightly
until
it
stops and close the
front
door.
If
the diskette
is
not
inserted all the way,
the
front
door
will
not
close. When this happens do
not
force the door closed
but
re-insert the diskette correctly.
3 Write-protection Notch
If the write-protection notch
of
the diskette
is
covered
with
a
seal
of
silver paper, etc.,
writing
of
data
is
forbidden. Reading, however,
is
possible. Some diskettes
supplied
by
Sharp
that
are called Masters
have
this part
covered
with
a
seal.
Never remove
it
because
it
prevents
trouble
from
improper operation.
Do
not
cover the notch
of
adiskette
that
is
ordinarily
used
for
read/write operations
with
a
seal,
etc. or
writing
will
be
impossible.
4 Data Read/Write
Operation
of
this
unit
is
only
by
ON/OFF
of
the power
and insertion/removal
of
a diskette.
All
reading and
writing
of
data
is
controlled by the host system MZ-80B.
For details refer
to
the software manual. A maximum
of
4
drives
can
be
operated and drives
are
designated by the
drive numbers on the
front
of
the unit.
6
~
Envelope
Do
not
touch, soil
or
scratch the recording surface
(Head
YVindow)
of
the diskette
with
your
finger. This may
cause
improper operation
or
result in no operation.
Do
not
bend
or
fold the diskette or
it
will
become unusable.
Do
not
bring magnetic things near the diskette or the
contents
of
the diskette
will
be
destroyed. In addition, it's
dangerous
to
bring a diskette near machines (motors, etc.)
that generate a magnetic field.
Fill in the index label before pasting
it
on the jacket
or
use
a
soft pointed
pen.
If
you
use
a ball-point
pen
or
other hard
object
on
a label already pasted on the jacket, the diskette
will
be
damaged.
When
not
using a diskette,
put
it
in
an
envelope and file
it
away. This also prevents trouble
caused
by scratches and
dust.
Storage temperature
of
the diskette
is
4°C
-50°
C.
Do
not
put
it
in direct sunlight
or
anywhere the temperature
rises
above 50°C. The jacket will
be
deformed
and
the diskette
will
be
unusable.
7
Cautions
(A) Installation
1.
Do
not
install the
unit
in the
following
places.
Damp places.
In
direct
sunlight.
Dusty places.
Places
where the temperature
is
very high
or
low.
Places
that
vibrate.
2. Install the
unit
on a solid, level stand.
3.
Use
a power supply voltage
as
indicated on the rating name plate on the back
of
the
unit.
4. Do
not
install the
unit
near machines
that
generate a
lot
of
noise. Also
use
a separate power
source

these kinds
of
machines. This
will
prevent improper operation due
to
noise.
5.
Do
not
close the
ventilation
holes
of
the
unit
by
putting
things on
top
of
it
or
by
