Viscount Concerto III - Operating Manual
IMPORTANT NOTES
-
The DISK menu can only be recalled with a floppy disk inserted in the drive.
-
If the DISK menu is recalled with an unformatted floppy disk inserted, the system will
automatically start the formatting function described in point 5.3.
-
To avoid saving errors and/or damage to floppy disks, never extract the disk when the
drive LED is on.
5.1 DISPLAYING THE CONTENTS OF FLOPPY DISKS
To check
all
the contents of the disk currently inserted in the drive, simply select the LIST field in
the DISK menu and press [ENTER/YES]. The display will show all the files saved on the floppy
disk:
If there are more than six files, use the [CURSOR (PG) UP] and [CURSOR (PG) DOWN] buttons
to display the other video pages.
Finally, press [EXIT/NO] to exit the current function and return to the DISK menu.
5.2 COPYING WHOLE FLOPPY DISKS
To copy the contents of a whole floppy disk onto another one, insert the disk to be copied in the
drive and recall the DISK menu. Since the system makes a physical copy (i.e. the whole of the
floppy disk is copied, regardless of the amount of data it contains),
the two disks must have the
same capacity.
Now select the COPY option and press [ENTER/YES], the system will proceed to read the data,
showing on the display.
After which you will be prompted to extract the source disk:
Now extract the floppy disk and
wait
for the prompt for the destination disk (i.e. the disk onto
which you wish to copy the data).
