BACKUP
The BACKUP button is used to copy either a single file or multiple
files of a diskette onto another for safety purposes. This is known
as "Backing Up" the diskette.
DO/YES
The DO/YES button is used to initiate all operations of the DATADISK
, and to select any choices which might appear in the display. The
DO/YES button is actually a fail safe, giving the user a final choice
to either initiate or abort any previously selected operation.
REQUEST
The REQUEST button allows the user to request sample or program
bulk dumps from a MIDI device that requires a request before it
can send MIDI data. When the DO/YES button is pressed, the
transfer is handled as in the Receive MIDI data function.
INFO
This button is used to display information about the diskette cur-
rently inserted in the disk drive. The information displayed in the
first page will be the number of files stored on the diskette, the per-
centage of memory used, and the amount of free space available
on the diskette.
The second page will show each individual file name and the
number of bytes in each file (see Section 4).
A third page will show the DATADISK software version.
MIDI
The MIDI button is used to set the MIDI output of the DATADISK to
echo the data received at the MIDI input. MIDI ECHO ON sets the
MIDI output to operate as a MIDI THRU port. MIDI ECHO OFF
sets the MIDI output to send only MIDI file data initiated from the
front panel of the DATADISK .
A second page selects if the DATADISK is to receive program
change information (for initiating sending files from the DATADISK )
and on which MIDI channel.
FORMAT
The FORMAT button is used to prepare an unformatted diskette (a
diskette that hasn't been especially adapted for DATADISK) for use
by the DATADISK.
POWER
The POWER button turns the DATADISK on or off.
