Chapter 9: Disk Operation

Overview

When the power of the MPC2000 is turned off, all of the data will be
erased. If you have any necessary data, make sure you save the data
to a disk before the power is turned off.

The MPC2000 data will be saved on the disk as a file and it is possible
to name the file using up to 16 characters. There are mainly two types
of disks that can be used for the MPC2000. One is the floppy disk
using the internal floppy disk drive, and the other is a hard disk or
other SCSI devices connected by SCSI jacks, including CD-ROM
drives or MO disk drives.

The Device: Field

In disk mode, most of the screens contain a Device: field. This
selects which disk to work on when you operate various functions in
disk mode and should be set first.

The Device Icons

following icons appear according to the type of disk selected.
