Precautions to observe when using SK760/880
disks with a computer
In name write situations, the SK760/880 allows
file names of up to 10 characters, except the Block
which accepts 8, in compatibility with MS-DOS
and Windows 3.1 OS. Block files also include
the extension «.BLK». If your files are to be used
in MS-DOS devices (IBM PC’s and compatibles),
bear in mind the 8 character limit of these sys-
tems when naming your files.
In the Macintosh, OS/2 and Windows 95 systems,
file names can include more that 8 characters.
When a name is modified on a computer, the fol-
lowing rules should be remembered:
do not change the Block file extension.
avoid Block names longer that 8 characters.
the maximum number of files in a Block can-
not exceed the limit imposed by the SK760/
880 RAM.
do not change the names of the permanent
files contained in the Blocks (e.g. the ROM
Style Group names). SK760/880 requires
standard names to recognize the structure
of the data.
Furthermore, owing to some limitations of MS-
DOS, Windows 3.1 and Atari, it is essential to
bear in mind the following advice:
do not insert spaces within a file name (e.g.:
«MY FILE.BLK»). To separate a name into
two parts, you can either:
1) separate two parts by the “underscore”
symbol (e.g.: MY_FILE.BLK»).
2) Use Uppercase (capital) letters for the first
letters of both parts of the name, lowercase
for the others (e.g.: «MyFile.BLK»).
do not assign two files the same name using
uppercase and lowercase letters (e.g.
«MYFILE» and «myfile»).
The aspect of the Blocks are as folders (Macin-
tosh, Atari) or sub-directories (MS-DOS, Win-
dows, OS/2). Other sub-directories or folders can
be found in a Bloc.
