Format
To be able to read and write data to disks, they must be of a format that PS1000
can recognize. If you try to use a disk of an incompatible format, the drive
prompts an appropriate message inviting you to retry with another disk.
Disk format procedure
1. Insert the floppy disk that you wish to format into the drive and press the
DISK button.
2. Move the right display arrowhead next to the FORMAT disk menu func-
tion with the CURSOR down button.
3. Use the TEMPO/DATA
/ buttons to select the format procedure re-
quired.
Two formatting operations are available.
Format 1.44 Mb
This operation formats a 3.5” HD floppy disk for PS1000 use with a capacity
of 1.44 Megabytes. The format is completely compatible with the standard
MS-DOS format to permit the exchange of files with the WK and PK Series
instruments, computers running MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, Macintosh and
some models of Atari and Amiga.
Format 720 Kb
This operation formats a 3.5” DD floppy disk in MS-DOS/Atari ST format
(capacity 720 kilobytes).
4. Press ENTER.
The display shows the message “Sure?”.
5. Press ENTER again to start the formatting procedure.
If you press ESCAPE, the formatting process is cancelled.
Note: The formatting process can be carried
out regardless of the current mode. For ex-
ample, you can format a disk while you are
playing a Style.
