Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Load Function Dialog Changes
At this point the files will begin to load. When all the files have been successfully loaded or the
load process has been aborted, the K2000 returns to the Disk mode page.
If there are any errors encountered during a multiple file load, such as running out of object
RAM, you will be asked once if you wish to abort the load. In some cases, you may wish to
continue loading. If you continue (and don't abort), the only way to abort will be to use a special
procedure described in the next paragraph.
Aborting a Multiple File Load
There is a way to abort the process of loading multiple files. Aborting can only be done
“between” files that are being loaded, and not during the load of any one file (short of powering
off, or soft-resetting the machine by simultaneously pressing +/- and 0 and CLR—which is not
recommended).
Aborting a multiple file load is done by pressing and holding down either of the Increment (+)
or the Decrement (-) buttons that are located just below the Alpha wheel. This should be done at
least one-half second before you anticipate the current file to finish loading, or else the K2000
will not sense that you wish to abort the load.
You will see the following question after the current file being loaded is completed:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abort|the|load?|||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
It may be a good idea to practice using this method of aborting a multiple file load, so that when
the time comes that you accidentally select 100 files, you will remember how to abort the
process. This same method (of holding the Increment or Decrement buttons down) is also used
to abort the Backup feature and the macro file load feature.
If you run out of object or sample RAM, you will have one opportunity to abort the load as
explained above. However, if you continue from that point you may end up seeing the same
error message Memory|is|full for each file that you had selected. This can be a rather tedious
process, however it is still possible to abort out of this by holding down the Increment or
Decrement button simultaneously while pressing Yes when you see the following question:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abort|this|partial|load?||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
