DISK
1.1
6. Disk mode
In Disk mode you can save and load internal memory data
to and from a floppy disk or a connected external SCSI
device (if the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed).
You can also make various settings related to saving and
loading.
The TRITON-Rack can use MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2HD or
2DD floppy disks. After a floppy disk has been formatted on
the TRITON-Rack, a 2HD disk will have a capacity of 1.44
MB (18 sectors/track), and a 2DD disk will have a capacity
of 720 KB (9 sectors/track). When the EXB-SCSI option is
installed, up to 4 GB can be formatted on an external SCSI
device.
The TRITON-Rack cannot format media with a format of
other than 512 bytes/block (such as 640 MB, 1.3 GB MO
disks etc.).
For details on connecting external SCSI devices and setting
the ID, refer to the EXB-SCSI owner’s manual.
ISO9660 format is supported. ISO9660 level 1 CD-ROM
discs can be read. (Multi-session data can be read only if the
first session is in ISO 9660 format.)
Files, directories, and icons
The TRITON-Rack manages data on disks and other media
in a hierarchical manner, using files and directories. The con-
tents of a file (whether it is a file or a directory) are indicated
not only by the name but also graphically by an icon. Files
and directories have differently shaped icons.
On the TRITON-Rack, files and directories that can be recog-
nized by MS-DOS (i.e., read by an MS-DOS computer) are
referred to as DOS files and DOS directories.
Various types of DOS files are distinguished by the exten-
sion that is added to the filename.
In the case of a DOS file with an extension other than listed
below, selecting “Load selected” to access the dialog box
will cause the file to be considered to be a Standard MIDI
File (SMF). However, non-SMF files cannot be loaded.
When you save a file on the TRITON-Rack, one of these file-
name extensions will automatically be added as appropriate
for the type of data.
If you change the filename extension of the following
files, they will be handled as undefined files when you
attempt to load them again; they will not be loaded cor-
rectly.
Files handled by the TRITON-Rack have the following
structure. Since .PCG and .SNG files can be opened to divide
their contents, they are displayed as directory icons.
