the fixed disk drive number and drive type; the third is
used for activity selection. Completion of this option

base panel of the central module . Type [Retrn] to
select Drive # 1 automatically.

the type of fixed disk drive you wish to format.
You must remove the top cover of the central
module and look at the fixed disk paper label to
obtain this information. When you are prepared to
answer the screen prompt, type the number adjacent
to the drive type rather than the five-character disk
drive code. Type [Retrn] to select a Rodime 30

After you have made your selection, the program
responds twice. First, it converts the single digit
you typed into a five-character disk drive code.
This step is included to ensure you have made a
correct choice. Second, it presents the Activity
Menu and waits for you to make a selection.

various fixed disk options. The following options are
available from the menu:
Option A (Add a bad track); use this option to add
bad tracks (from the fixed disk paper label) to the

the fixed disk.
