Important
Disk
Operations
In this
section we will
describe
three very
important
operations:
1
.
Duplicating
the trsdos diskette
(backup)
2. Initializing
a data diskette (format)
3.
Converting
files from Model
I to
Model III
trsdos
(convert).
All
new
customers should
complete
the trsdos
backup
procedure
now;
multi-
drive
customers should
also complete
the
format
operation
for
a few diskettes.
Detailed
information
is provided
later
in this
manual;
here we will
simply
outline
the procedures.
Making
a BACKUP
(Duplicate)
of
TRSDOS
Your
first operation
should
be to duplicate
the trsdos
diskette
you
received
from
Radio
Shack. The trsdos
diskette
contains
a utility
program
called
backup
to accomplish this.
1
.
Locate
the trsdos
diskette and
a new, blank
diskette.
The
trsdos
diskette
will
be referred
to as the "source,"
while
the blank
one will
be
called
the
"destination,"
during backup.
2.
Start
trsdos as explained
in the previous
section. TRSDOS
READY
should
be
displayed.
3.
Type: BACKUP
(ENTER)
4.
trsdos will now
load and start backup.
It
will
ask you:
SOURCE
DRIVE NUMBER?
Specify the drive which contains
the
original
trsdos
diskette by
typing:
(ENTER)
5. Next
trsdos will ask: DESTINATION
DRIVE
NUMBER?
Now
specify the drive which will
be
used for
making
the
duplicate
trsdos.
If
you have two
or more drives in
your
system,
type: 1 (ENTER)
6. trsdos will
ask: SOURCE DISK
MASTER
PASSWORD?
Type: PASSWORD
(ENTER)
(password
is
the password
of the
supplied diskette.)
7. Now'the
duplication process will
begin.
If
the destination
diskette is
not formatted,
backup
will format
it
before
continuing.
(Before
any diskette
can
be used, it must
be initialized
or
"formatted"
—
the data regions
defined
and labeled,
and
a table
of contents
or "directory"
created.)
