Operating System - Akai DD1500 User Manual

22 - SYSTEM - OPERATING SYSTEM
In the main SYSTEM SETUP page, pressing F6 - O/S - will take you to this screen:
Here, you can see the current versions of software loaded into the DD1500 and DL1500.
These fields are for information only.
You have three choices for loading software. BOTH (DD and DL) will load both versions of
software into both the DD1500 and the DL1500 in on pass. You may also select
DD1500m ONLY or DL1500 ONLY (there may be software upgrades that only apply to
one or other).
N O T E : Most software releases usually come as BOTH. This is the recommended
selection. However, it may be that separate versions of software are available for the DD
and DL and it is possible to load them separately by selecting DD1500m or DL1500 as
appropriate.
LOAD O/S
To load a new version of software, insert the floppy disk into the drive and press LOAD
0/S.
You will receive the prompt:
The EXECUTE key's LED will flash and you must respond accordingly. If you press
EXECUTE - YES - the system will load the operating system software into the selected
machine(s). The bottom line of the LCD will keep you informed of progress.
NOTE: Once the software has loaded it is necessary to turn the whole system off and
power it back on. It will re-boot with the version of software you just loaded.
If, when attempting to load a new operating system, a floppy is not inserted in the floppy
disk drive, you will receive the prompt:
You should insert a floppy disk as appropriate. Likewise, if a floppy disk that does not
contain a valid DD1500/DL1500 operating system is found in the drive, you will be
prompted accordingly.
