More Information:

Using Two 5.25-Inch Floppy Drives
If you have two 5.25-inch 360K floppy disk drives and no hard disk because there is no room for DOS on your working copy, you will have to insert your DOS disk in Drive A to start your computer, then replace the DOS disk with your working copy to start Works. Unless Works asks you to switch disks, you should keep the working copy in Drive A and save your data files to a data disk in Drive B.

To save a new file for the first time, do the following:


 * 1) Choose File Save.
 * 2) If Drive B is not already the current drive, select Drive B in the Directories list box and press ENTER.
 * 3) In the Save File As box, type a name for your file.
 * 4) Choose OK (ENTER).

To open a file, do the following:


 * 1) Choose File Open.
 * 2) If Drive B is not already the current drive, select Drive B in the Directories list box and press ENTER.
 * 3) In the Files box, select the file you want to open.
 * 4) Choose OK (ENTER).

As you use Works, you might create more data files than will fit on a single data disk. You can work with as many as eight different data files from different data disks at the same time.

To open a file from a different disk, do the following:


 * 1) Choose File Open.
 * 2) Insert in Drive B the data disk containing the file you want to open.
 * 3) Press ENTER.
 * 4) In the Files box, select the file from the updated list.
 * 5) Choose OK (ENTER).
 * 6) Switch disks as requested.
