ers running MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, Macin-
tosh, Atari, Amiga, and all computers capable of
reading MS-DOS format disks.
The procedure is identical to that described for
the «Format work disk (1.62 Mb)» operation.
FORMAT MS-DOS/ATARI DISK (720 KB)
This operation formats a 3.5" DD floppy disk in
MS-DOS / Atari ST format (capacity: 720 kilo-
bytes), suitable in particular for MIDI file ex-
changes.
The procedure is identical to that described for
the «Format work disk (1.62 Mb)» operation.
CHANGE DISK NAME
Use this operation to assign a name to a floppy
disk. Giving your disks a specific name allows
quick recognition of the contents during a search
through disks without labels. If you write the disk's
name on the index label, you can reduce the
search times even further.
PS/GPS assigns a generic code name to disks
formatted with the Utility formatting procedures -
the name depending on the size.
For example, a 1.62 Mb work disk will be assigned
a code name such as the one shown below:
Use the standard name entry procedure to give
your disks a name.
Confirm the entry with ENTER or cancel with
Escape.
