Copying Files & Copying Floppy Disks
The Copy File function allows you to copy files to a different directory on the same disk, or
to another disk. The Copy Floppy Disk (COPY FD) function allows you to make complete
copies of floppy disks — a perfect way to make backup copies of your important data.
The explanations here apply to step #3 of the Basic Procedure on page 150.
Backing Up/Restoring the Data in Flash ROM
Any data that was pre-recorded in Flash ROM will be erased and replaced by the
new settings. This means that preset setups (factory settings) will also be erased. It
is therefore a good idea to save them to disk via the Backup function before
recording or creating your own original data so that you can keep them indefi-
nitely.
The explanations here apply to step #3 of the Basic Procedure on page 150.
• The COPY FD function cannot
be used to copy hard disk data.
• Copies can only be made to
the same type of floppy disk as
the source disk (i.e. 2HD to
2HD or 2DD to 2DD).
• Some types of pre-recorded
music software disks are copy
protected.

• In general, the Flash ROM of the PSR-9000
and that of the similarly equipped 9000Pro
are compatible. Any data that is saved to
disk on one instrument can be loaded to the
Flash ROM of the other. However, this does
not include using the Backup/Restore func-
tion to save and load Setup and Registration
Memory data between the instruments.
