FORMATTING THE BACKUP disk (SCSI disk)
To retrieve the disk from the backup drive, press the drive
EJECT button.
In the D-108, song data recorded in the current drive can be saved /loaded by using the backup SCSI drive disk, not to
mention DAT and adat. In addition to the current drive, when a backup SCSI drive is connected to D-108, the ID
number for the backup SCSI drive must be set to “6” and the disk must be formatted in the backup exclusive recording
mode. Even if the backup disk is loaded in the SCSI drive, the disk information cannot be displayed such as by the
current drive. For this reason, in order to format the backup disk, same as with the aforementioned current SCSI disk
formatting, it must be forcibly executed by the SETUP mode [Disk Format?] menu. In this example, assume that the
current drive and backup drive are connected as shown below and that it is in the time base for the E-IDE hard disk.
< NOTE >:
A disk intended for save/load by WAV file cannot be formatted by the D-108 [Disk Format?] menu. The WAV
file (DOS format) disk must be formatted beforehand in another computer (PC/AT type).
After switching to the SETUP display by pressing the
DISP SEL key, press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-108 will enter the SETUP mode and the display will
change to the SETUP menu which was active prior to switch
OFF of power.
Select the [Disk Format?] menu by rotating the JOG
dial, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
[IDE] will change to blinking and when the JOG dial is
rotated, the alternately blinking [IDE] and [SCSI 6] can be
easily selected (If a current drive SCSI is also connected,
[SCSI #] (# = ID number of the SCSI drive) will also be
displayed).
After selecting [SCSI 6] with the JOG dial, press the
EXECUTE/YES key again.
Even though an unformatted or formatted disk is loaded in
the SCSI drive, the ID number and drive name will be
displayed and both [?] and [SURE?] will blink.
Then, press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
[Backup format?] will be displayed and both [?] and [SURE?]
will blink. This is an indication that it is in standby for
formatting the backup disk by the [Backup format].
Press the EXECUTE/YES key while pressing the
RECORD button.
Formatting will start in the backup format mode. During
formatting, [REMAIN] will be lit in the display, the disk area
(capacity) not yet formatted will be displayed and count
down will continue with progress of formatting. After
formatting is [COMPLETED!] will be lit and disk will stop.
Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the EXIT/NO
key (or the STOP button).
The display will change to the current drive time base prior
to entering the SETUP mode.
