Init Drive (Initialize Drive)
Select the disk drive (IDE, SCSI0–SCSI7). "IDE" indica-
tors internal hard disks, and "SCSI0–SCSI7" (these are
SCSI ID numbers) indicate external disk drives. For
example, select "SCSI5" when selecting the Zip drive
connection.
Partition
Select the partition size (500 MB, 1000 MB, or 2000
MB). In normal circumstances, select "2000 MB."
Physical Format
Select whether or not to use physical formatting. For
new disks or disks that have been used by another
device, select "On." For new hard disks or when for-
matting disks for Windows or Macintosh platforms,
select "Off (Quick)."
Surface Scan
This confirms that the read and write functions in all
of the disk drive's partitions are operating correctly
when the drive is initialized. In normal circumstances,
set this to "Off." When you particularly want to con-
duct a test of the read/write functions, the set this to
"On" (p. 113).
At this time, the function buttons work as shown
below.

VS-1680 restarts automatically, and return to Play

* Be aware that initializing a drive requires some time. This
is not a malfunction. For example, when physical format-
ting is turned on, the time required to format one Zip disk
is approximately 10 minutes. The progress of initializa-
tion will be shown in the display. Be sure not to turn
the power off until initialization is complete.
