Format
Before being able to save files to a disk, you need to prepare a floppy disk. This is called “formatting”. If
the floppy you are about to use is IBM PC formatted, there is no need to format it, though disk access is
faster with EM-55 OR formatted disks. Otherwise proceed as follows:
(1) Press [DISK] to select the Disk mode.
(2) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select
“FORMAT”.
(3) Wait for the “EXE” message to flash, then
press [EXECUTE].
Note: If you do not want to format your floppy,
press [DISK] to return to the first Disk function
(“LOAD Upr”).
Note: By formatting a disk, you erase all files it
contains. It would be a good idea to first check
what it contains (e.g. on your PC).
(4) Press [EXECUTE] again in response to the
“Sure?” message.
The value to the left of the “Formatng” mes-
sage now counts down from “80” to “1”
while the disk icon flashes to indicate that
the disk is being accessed. When the disk is
formatted, the message “Complete” is
briefly displayed.
