Disk

The DISK section of the PS/GPS allows you to
work with a number of different types of storage
devices.
Press the DISK button to enter the DISK mode.

SELECTING THE STORAGE DEVICE

The first step of any disk operation should be to
select the type of device you want to access.
There are three choices available:
Floppy disk: The PS/GPS can work with MS-
DOS formatted disks, either HD, (1.44 Mbytes)
or DD, (720 Kbytes). Alternatively, the instrument
can use it's own special format, (1.62 Mbytes)
which, while being less interchangeable than the
MS-DOS format, allows you to use more space
on a standard floppy disk.
Hard disk: This option gains access to the Blocks
of the internal Hard disk drive, (2.5 inch IDE type).
SCSI: This option will only be available if your
instrument has been fitted with the optional SCSI
interface. All the PS/GPS models are predis-
posed for the installation of the optional SCSI kit.
Any connected SCSI devices, (CD-ROM, Hard

Disk, or other removable media), can be
accessed with this button.
After selecting the device that you want to work
with, you next choose which type of operation
you want to perform, LOAD, SAVE, ERASE,
COPY, MOVE, UTILITY (Floppy or Hard Disk).

CHOOSE THE DESIRED DISK COMMAND

Press the +/– PAGE/BANK buttons to select the
type of operation you want to work with. For the
LOAD, SAVE, ERASE and MOVE operations, the
main display divides into two parts: on the left,
three options which determine how many files will
be handled, on the right, the type of file being
handled.
Specify your requirement by combining the File
Quantity in the left column with the File Type in
the other:
For example: To load a single Song, specify
«SINGLE» and «SONG» in the main LOAD page.
LIMITATIONS
Some file types cannot be handled more than
one at a time. MIDI Files, for example, can only
be handled using the SINGLE MIDI FILE opera-
tion. Other files can be handled as Single ele-
ments, Groups and All sets, while some are lim-
ited to Single and All operations only.
