Foundations 2: About Discs
The Amstrad disc drive uses 3 inch compact floppy discs. We strongly recommend
that for reliable data-to-disc transfer, you use only Amsoft CF-2 compact floppy discs.
Discs made by leading manufacturers however, may also be used.
Each side of a disc may be used separately. A disc should be inserted with its label
facing outward from the drive, and with the side that you wish to use face up (See
Figure 6).

Write Protection
In the left hand corner of each side of a blank disc, you will see an arrow pointing to a
small shuttered hole. This is called the Write Protect hole, and facilitates protection
against erasure or 'overwriting'. See Figure 7.
