File mode

File mode
In this mode, you can save data to and load data from
memory cards and SCSI storage devices, such as hard
disks and removable cartridges. The File mode also
provides various functions for managing your data and
SCSI devices.
With the File Utility software (on the included CD-
ROM), you can use a computer to manage data stored
to memory cards or SCSI devices — even use it to
transfer data between the computer and the memory
card/SCSI device.
