D-108 Owner's Manual (Formatting a Disk)

REFORMATTING A PREVIOUSLY FORMATTED SCSI disk

Here is how to reformat previously formatted SCSI disk for use in the current drive or for backup. When a disk is
reformatted, any previously recorded program data will all be erased and, at the same time, the number of programs
and various settings will revert to its original state. The explanations below are based on the assumption that a SCSI
drive is connected as the current drive, that a formatted disk is not loaded in the SCSI drive and, [No Disk] is shown in
the display.
