DigiCart/E stores two versions of its operating system in flash memory, the current version and the version
previous to it. If you need to revert to the previous version of the DigiCart/E operating system, power the
system OFF. Press and hold the

UTILITY

button while turning ON the power switch.

You will be prompted to confirm, “Restore Previous Version?” Press

ENTER

to continue.

The update will take approximately 10 seconds. Upon completion, DigiCart should report, “Flash Update
Success”.

You will be prompted to confirm, “Do you want to make this version permanent?” Press

ENTER

to make

this the current version for future start-ups, or press

CANCEL

to use this version for this session only.

Zip Drives and Disks

The power on your DigiCart/E must be on to enable normal disk loading and unloading.

The access door on the Zip Disk Drive opens inward when a disk is inserted. Zip disks are inserted shutter-
end first, label side up. During insertion, the shutter slides open to allow the heads access to the two data
surfaces. When loaded, the disk is locked in the drive.

Note: If the disk is difficult to insert, check its orientation and try again. DO NOT FORCE THE DISK
INTO THE DRIVE

. Objects inserted into the front of the drive may damage it. Such action will void the

manufacturer's warranty.

During certain operations, Zip Disk ejection is disabled by the DigiCart/E software. The DigiCart/E
“remembers” attempts to eject the disk and defers ejection until it is enabled by the software.

The ejector button on the front panel of the ZIP Drive illuminates to indicate Zip Drive activity. The button
does not illuminate unless the media is accessed. The following table enumerates the various indications.
