Chapter 10: Disk Operation
Page 152
Overview
When the power is turned off, all of the data will be erased. If you have any data that you want to
keep, make sure that you save the data to a disk before the power is turned off.
The data will be saved as a file and you can name the file using up to 16 characters. There are two
ways that you can save data on the MPC2000XL. One is by using the internal floppy disk drive,
and the other is by connecting SCSI devices (such as MO, ZIP or hard disk drives) to the rear
panel SCSI socket.

ing to the type of disk selected.

Note: If the disk is not formatted, the MPC2000XL will not be able to make an indica-
