Saving and Recalling

The 4286A has two kinds of mass storage, a built-in exible drive and a RAM disk memory.
Each mass storage supports two kinds of format, LIF (Logical Interchange Format) and
MS-DOS R . The 4286A automatically detects the disk format as either LIF or MS-DOS R
Caution
The les on the RAM disk are kept until the 4286A is turned o . When the
4286A is turned o , the data on the RAM disk is lost.
