When the floppy disk drive is first powered up, the rotary actuator and the index sensor both work together to place the read/write heads over track 0 (starting track on a floppy disk).

Additional to Stewart's emulator is a Windows/Linux software package to read, write and file-image floppy disks called 'ubeedisk'.

- Please indicate on your computer the source file BIN, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the BIN file to the application
- Select the output format of the IMG file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file IMG on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted IMG file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
