Backing Up the O.S. Disk

Since floppy disks are vulnerable to the effects of magnetic fields, we highly recommend making

back-up copies of your O.S. disk. Doing so can save time and frustration in the unlikely event

that the O.S. disk becomes damaged. Since the tutorial files and the new 44.1 KHz effect

algorithms are on the O.S. disk, you

will

need a HD (high density) disk to save all of the

information. We’ll use the COPY FLOPPY DISK command to back up the disk. Here’s how:

Slide open the plastic write-protect tab on the original O.S. disk (you should be able to see

through the little square hole) so that the disk is write-protected (protected from being

written to). This is an extra precaution to safeguard the data.

(m),

then

(SYSTEM-MID~

, and scroll to the COPY FLOPPY DISK command.

3. Press (ENTER-YES).

The

dispIay

shows INSERT SOURCE DISK (the one you want to copy).

Insert the source disk, then press CENTER-YES).

The drive will engage and the display will flash READING SOURCE DISK. Once the drive

stops, the display will change to show INSERT DEST DISK.

Insert the destination disk (the one you want to copy to) and press (ENTER-YES).

If the destination disk is unformatted, the display will ask ERASE AND FORMAT DISK?

Press (ENTER-YES) to format the disk. When formatting is complete, the drive will engage

and the display will flash WRITING DEST DISK.

After writing to the destination disk, the display will read VERIFYING DEST DISK. If the

copy is complete, the display will read DISK COMMAND COMPLETED.

If you do not want to copy all of the tutorial files or the 44.1 KHz effect algorithms, use the

Command/System*MIDI, COPY O.S. TO DISK command (see Section 2

SysfewMIDI in the

Musician’s Manual).

We recommend that you use the copied O.S. disk for daily use, and store the original O.S. disk in

a safe place. If your O.S. disk becomes damaged and you do not have a back-up copy made, your

local Authorized ENSONIQ Dealer can make a new copy for you (you must supply the disk).
