Macro Support for Multiple Removable Disks

You can use a single macro to load ﬁles from different removable disks.

1. In Disk mode, press Load to begin the Load dialog. You’ll see a prompt asking you to

select a ﬁle to load.

2. Select the macro ﬁle to load, and press OK. The K2661 displays a prompt asking you to

select a bank for loading the macro.

3. Select a bank (or select speciﬁed or Everything), and press OK.

4. The K2661 begins loading ﬁles. When it tries to load a ﬁle that’s not on the disk, the

display shows you the name of the ﬁle that it couldn’t ﬁnd. Press OK.

5. Another prompt asks you if you want to retry loading after changing disks. Press Yes.

6. Change the removable disk, and press OK, as instructed by the prompt in the display. The

K2661 resumes loading ﬁles according to the macro entries.

7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 as often as necessary to load all the ﬁles speciﬁed by the macro.

The display returns to the Disk-mode page when loading is complete.

Macro Entries

Each ﬁle-loading operation that is recorded into the Macro table is called a macro entry.Each

macro entry stores information about how a disk ﬁle should be loaded. Each entry is displayed

as a single item in a scrollable list on the MACRO page, with various ﬁelds indicating the

parameters of the entry. Each macro entry also has a partition ID, which is recorded when you

create the macro. The partition ID is part of the macro entry’s name; it appears after the SCSI ID.

You can view macro entries (if there’s a current macro table) by pressing the Macro soft button

while in Disk mode.

When editing a macro entry (using the Modify option on the MACRO function page in Disk

mode), you can edit the partition ID along with other properties of the entry. If you change the

partition ID of a macro entry, make sure it’s a valid partition ID.

The following diagram shows how the MACRO page might look once four ﬁles have been

recorded into the RAM Macro table:

Func:MACRO|[Record]||||||||||Index:|||1|

Table 13-4 describes the information stored in a macro entry. The highlighted entry in the

diagram above indicates a ﬁle on a disk with a SCSI ID of 3. This ﬁle is stored in a directory

called DRUMS. The ﬁlename is REALKITS.K26. The K2661 will load it into the 200s bank,
