REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE CADDY
This caddy houses the PORTADRIVE's internal hard disk.
The drive caddy is removable - that is, the disk can be taken out of the PORTADRIVE and connected
to other systems via the optional HHB Docking Station.
To remove the caddy, turn the large 'screw' in the middle counter-clockwise to the 9-o-clock position.
Now carefully pull the caddy out.
To insert a drive, reverse the above procedure -- carefully insert the caddy into the compartment and
turn the screw clockwise to the 12-o-clock position (as shown above).
**** IMPORTANT ****
Please exercise extreme caution when removing and inserting drives.
Please refer to the section that describes safe handling of disk drives.
PS2 KEYBOARD INPUT
This socket allows you to connect a standard PS2 keyboard to the PORTADRIVE to make to make it
easier to input text such as scene name, notes, input name, session name etc. Input of text is still
possible without a keyboard attached (see page 40). PS2 keyboards can be purchased at any
computer store - you may already have a spare one that you use!
PARALLEL REMOTE CONNECTION
This is a parallel remote connection that allows the user to connect a simple switch based remote
control. Functions are implemented by shorting various pins together.
