Library

This feature works in conjunction with the macro feature to provide a way to distribute macro
Þles that load data from removable media without having to know in advance the SCSI ID of the
removable-media drive. A macro Þle stores its references to disks by DISK ID (SCSI ID or
Floppy), or by either a ÒLibraryÓ or ÒUnspeciÞedÓ designation (see Macros on page 13-43).
Typically, you would set the Library parameter to be the same as the SCSI ID of your CD-ROM
drive, if you were loading macro Þles from a Floppy disk or another SCSI disk that referenced
CD-ROM Þles containing samples or keymaps.

Verify

Set Verify to On when you want the K2600 to verify saves, copies, and backups (the K2600 canÕt
verify loads). The operations take longer, but it provides insurance against corrupted Þles.

Disk Drive Information

Below the device type and disk capacity youÕll see speciÞc information about the current diskÕs
manufacturer, model number and internal mechanism (this is true for SCSI disks only; no
information appears about ßoppy disks). The K2600 requests this information from a SCSI disk
when you select that disk with the Current Disk parameter. This information may be needed
when determining if a given disk is compatible for SCSI operation with the K2600.

Macro On Indicator

When (Macro on) is visible, the K2600 records all Þle-loading operations in its macro table. See
Macros on page 13-43.

Load selected Þle(s) or object(s) from the current disk into K2600 memory.
Save banks of objects, selected objects, or a macro as a K2600 Þle on the current disk.
Display the macro function page, where you can create and edit macros.
Delete Þles from the current disk if it is a K2600 disk. See Deleting Files and

Change the location of a Þle from one directory to another (on the same disk).
Check the free space, Þnd Þles, and view directory organization and sizes on the
current disk.
Create a new directory on K2600 disks.
Hierarchical Þle backup between disks.
Single or multiple Þle copy between disks.
Send SCSI sleep command to the current disk. See the discussion below.
Format the current disk as a K2600 disk.
