8 • DISK
The DISK section of the Equinox allows you to work with a
number of different types of storage devices.
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: The Equinox 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, al-
lows you to use more space on a standard floppy disk.
INT. HD: This button will only be available if your instrument has
been fitted with the optional internal hard disk drive, (2.5 inch
IDE type).
SCSI: Any connected SCSI devices, (CD-ROM, External Hard
Disk, Optical drive 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
or ERASE.
