Floppy Disk Drive Operations
The switcher floppy disk subsystem is used to store and recall
effects files stored in E-MEM registers, and to store and recall
system configuration setups. You can also:
■ Format diskettes
■ Create directories and files
■ View the diskette by directory, file name, or file extension
■ Delete files and directories
Format Diskettes
1. Press the main menu DISK button to bring up the main Disk
menu.
NOTE:
It will take a few seconds before the Disk menus display. The
disk system does a self-test during that period.
2. Insert a diskette into the disk drive in the upper control panel
of the switcher. Make sure the write-protect on the diskette is
off.
3. From the Disk menu, press
UTILS> to invoke the Disk Utilities
Menu. (Do not press
CHILD DIRECTORY at this time.)
4. If the disk is already formatted, skip to “Saving Files.” If not,
proceed as follows:
a. From the Utilities menu, press either
FORMAT 720K or
FORMAT 1.44M, as appropriate.
b. Press
DO FORMAT.
