Removing the Diskette Drive Protector Card
A diskette drive protector card occupies the slot in the diskette drive
in your computer. This card is inserted at the factory to protect the
read/write heads in the drive. To remove it, turn the diskette drive
latch up until it is horizontal. This causes the card to pop out slightly
so you can pull it out of the slot, as shown in the following
illustration.
