This display allows you to choose the storage deviceÑyour floppy drive or any attached SCSI

5. Since we want to use the floppy drive in the tutorial, press the Yes button.
The ASR-X Pro takes a few moments to load the floppyÕs directory.
6. If necessary, turn the Parameter knob until the display shows:
Disk Utilities:
Format floppy disk?
7. Press the Yes button.
8. The ASR-X Pro asks you to again if you want to format the disk, since doing so will permanently
erase any files currently on the disk.
9. Press the Yes button if youÕre prepared to format the floppy.
The formatting process takes a minute or so. When the ASR-X Pro is finished formatting the disk,
the ASR-X Pro will briefly display ÒFormat successful!Ó If thereÕs a problem with the floppy, the
ASR-X Pro will display a message telling you so.

ThereÕs a faster way to jump to this Save ALL-SESSION display: simply double-click the
Disk/Global Save button. WeÕve used the longer method in Steps 1 and 2 to help you become
familiar with the procedure for saving files of all types.
You can assign an eight-character name for your ALL-SESSION file. Each of the eight character
positions can be selectedÑit will be underlinedÑand the desired character dialed in. LetÕs name this
file ÒMYFIRSTÓ to get a sense of how files are named.
Since the first ÒSÓ in ÒSESSIONÓ is already underlined, itÕs selected for editing.
3. Turn the Value knob to dial in an ÒMÓ as the ALL-SESSION file nameÕs first character.
4. Press the right-hand Select Track button to underlineÑand selectÑthe second character position for
editing.
5. Turn the Value knob to dial in a ÒY.Ó
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until youÕve named the file.
7. When youÕre done, press the Yes button.
