Formatting The Backup Disk (Scsi Disk) - Fostex D-160 Addendum

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0
In the D-160, 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-160, 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-160 [Disk Format?] menu. The WAV file
(DOS format) disk must be formatted beforehand in another computer (PC/AT type).
