Floppy Disk Systems
If you are operating ThinkTank on a floppy disk system,
you will need at least two disk drives. Drive 1 is considered
your main disk drive and is used to load and hold the THINK—
TANK PROGRAM DISK. Drive 2 and other drives contain ThinkTank
data disks. Your drives and their controller should be in-
stalled in standard fashion (Slot 6, Drives 1 and 2 on the Ap-
ple II and IIe). Your dealer will normally take care of this
for you.
Step 1: INSERT PROGRAM AND DATA DISKS
Depending on your computer, the ThinkTank package may con-
tain two or three disks. One is labelled THINKTANK PROGRAM
DISK and it contains the instructions your computer uses to
run ThinkTank. The second is labelled THINKTANK DATA DISK and
it contains the sample outlines discussed in this manual.
Once you learn how to use ThinkTank, you will create your own
data disks to store your own outlines. If you have an Apple
III, you have a third disk called the THINKTANK BOOT DISK; it
contains the instructions your computer uses to start up Think—
Tank.
(a) Apple II and IIe. Place the THINKTANK PROGRAM DISK
in Drive 1 of your machine and your ThinkTank data disk in
another drive. If this is your first time using ThinkTank,
use the THINKTANK( DATA DISK supplied with the program and in-
sert it in Drive 2.
(b) Apple III. Place the THINKTANK BOOT DISK in the Ap-
ple III’s. built—in drive (Drive 1) and your ThinkTank data
disk in another drive. If this is your first time ~using Think—
Tank, use the THINKTANK DATA DISK supplied with ‘the program
and insert it in Drive 2.
Step 2: POWER UP OR RESET
(a)If power is off, turn it on. ThinkTank is designed
to start up automatically when you turn on your computer.
First turn on your monitor or television set if it has a
separate switch. Now simply turn on the power switch, which
is located on the back of your computer near the left—hand
corner.
