memory, this effectively extends the life of the support, since during normal use, no data is
written in it and then behaves like a read-only media.
Any data you try to write to the operating system, any software you install, any changes
you try to do, the next time it is “misunderstood” and the system will always start in the
default of factory.
Obviously, for our choice, we give you the opportunity to work on the operating system,
disabling the functionality of “EWF” to allow you to make changes you deem appropriate,
hence some details and caveats: disabling “EWF” exhibit the system to all the changes
that you make, positive or negative whether even the total destruction of the operating
system itself. It is recommended to make an informed basis and it is recommended to
avoid any action that might jeopardize the stability of the system, if you do not feel
perfectly able to perform these operations, we strongly advise you not to do so.
CRUMAR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS will not respond for any damage you can cause to
the operating system, but, through our web site or by contacting CRUMAR, we always will
be able to restore the system with the original settings.
Please also note that the compact flashes, when they are converted from read-only media
to read-write media, shorten their lives and may break in short time: it is recommended to
re-enable “EWF” functionality whenever you are finished to perform the editing operations
in the OS.
“EWF”: ENABLE AND DISABLE OPERATION.
If it becomes necessary to make changes to the system and configure it to start with
different configurations then those “factory default”, the correct procedure is to disable the
filter “EWF”
