* Advanced file handling
* Simplified commands
Users who have attained some degree of programming skills may desire to begin
with the advanced subjects such as random access or relative files while others
may be content with just following the manual's format. In either case, this
manual has been structured to provide the user with essential information in a
logical sequence. Follow the examples, attempt the step-by-step procedures, and
learn by doing.
GENERAL HARDWARE INFORMATION
The CBM model 2031 Floppy Disk Drive, described in this manual, is a 170
K-byte capacity storage device. Its primary components consist of read/write
controls, drive motor electronics, one drive mechanism, one read/write head,
and a track positioning mechanism. Also, the disk drive conforms to IEEE-488
interface requirements.
For ease of reference, the Model 2031 Single Floppy Disk Drive will be referred
to in this manual as "the 2031".
The 2031 is operationally compatible with the following Commodore Computers:
1. Series 2001 -- 16K and 32K -- Operating With BASIC Version 3.0
2. Series 2001 -- PET 8K -- Upgraded to BASIC Version 3.0
3. Series 3000 -- 16K and 32K -- Operating With BASIC Version 3.0
4. Series 4000 -- PET 8K, 16K, and 32K -- Operating With BASIC Version
4.0
5. Series 8000 -- 32K -- Operating With BASIC Version 4.0
FRONT PANEL
The disk drive's front panel consists of an identification panel across the top, a
slot in which to insert a diskette, and a door to close after inserting the
diskette.
When the door is closed, the diskette is clamped onto the diskette spindle hub.
Also, there is a LED indicator light on the front panel. This light is called the
Drive Active Indicator; it lights when the drive is active. This LED flashes
continuously if an error has occurred; it will extinguish after the error channel
has been read.
