Disk Menu

5-48

Disk Utilities

The Disk Utilities submenu contains the Format Disk and Erase File func-
tions. These functions should be used with care since disk data will
be erased.
The catalog screen may be displayed with this submenu if a
formatted disk is in the drive.

Erase File

This function will erase the file specified in the File Name
field. Make sure the selected file is the correct file before
pressing this key.

Format Disk

Pressing this key will format the disk. Formatting a disk
involves erasing all information on the disk and rewriting
the directory. Formatting a disk destroys all data
presently on the disk
. Use caution when choosing this
function.

Disk capacity is 720k formatted. The maximum number
of directory entries is 114. This is the DOS limitation on
the number of files allowed in the root directory.

File Name

This key activates the File Name entry field. File names
are entered using the keypad and alternate keypad. The
[ALT] key allows letters to be entered. DOS file name
conventions must be followed, i.e. file names are 8 char-
acters or less with an extension of up to 3 characters.
"ABCDEFGH.XYZ" is a valid file name. It is not neces-
sary to press [ENTER] following the file name. DOS sub-
directories are not supported. All files are read from the
root directory.

Catalog On/Off

This key toggles the file catalog display screen on and
off. The use of this key is identical to the Catalog On/Off
function in the Save Data sub menu.

Return

The Return key will return to the main Disk menu. Return
also removes the catalog display screen and restores
the displays.
