• DD DRIVE
Use this option when connecting the FS-100 to a computer. The
FS-100 functions as a volume visible to the computer. In
addition, this setting permits the connecting of multiple FS-100s
together to increase recording space.
• USE EXT FS-100
Use this option when longer recording times are needed. USE
EXT FS-100 permits the connecting of two FS-100 together to
provide more disk storage for longer recording. One unit acts as
the master with the other as a slave: the master records to itself
until full and then continues recording on the slave unit.
Identifying Master/Slave Volumes During Record/Playback
When two FS-100s are in combined via USE EXT FS-100 and in either
Record or Playback mode, the volume on the Home screen will display 1-
xxx when the master unit is recording or playing back and 2-xx if it is the
slave.
