DVD-RAM drive unit with built-in HDD
Model
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex Model EX12.
The EX12 is a DVD-RAM drive unit dedicated to the PD-6. It in-
corporates a 12-cm DVD-RAM drive with a 2.5-inch HDD.
By connecting the EX12 to your PD-6, you can use two more drives
dedicated to the PD-6, in addition to the PD-6 internal DVD-RAM
drive.
Before using the EX12, read this manual carefully. We would be
very happy if the unit is helpful to you.
<Note>
To use the EX12, the PD-6 software version must be V2.00 or higher.
If the software version of your PD-6 is lower than V2.00, ask your
local Fostex dealer or sale office for upgrade.
The built-in HDD is formatted in the "Normal" mode when shipped.
This means, the HDD is divided into eight partitions, each of which
reserves approximately 4.7 GB capacity.
For details about how to use the EX12 with the PD-6, see "V2.0 supple-
ment" supplied with the PD-6.
