Euphonix console data is organized in a basic "file system" structure. The
drives are at the top of the hierarchy, followed by projects, titles and mixes.
Remember that drive C: is the computer's internal hard drive, that D: is the
removable disk drive and that A: accesses the 3.5" floppy:
Disks: A:
Projects: NFL Football
Titles: AES
Mixes: #1 #2
Passes: 1 2
Also stored under the title name are 50 SnapShots, title template, title setup,
ES108A Dynamics and Audio Cube assignments, MX464 Master Expander GPI
relay assignments, factory-programmed macros, comments, and cues.
The Euphonix support computer can address a SCSI drive attached to it for
storage. Normally, all computer hard disks (C: drive, etc.) appear in the Drive
list window when accessed. If you insert a DOS (IBM-compatible) formatted
removable cartridge into the D: drive, the list does not show the disk immedi-
ately. The disk must be mounted first. To do this, make sure you are at the top-
level Main menu; if not, press the DSC [Esc]ape key repeatedly, then press
[F3] (System), [F1] (File), [F1] (Disk) and then [F2] (Read):

You will now see that the word 'mounting' appears in the
Disk list and the SmartDisplay. If the cartridge is DOS
formatted it will appear in the list. This applies to the 3.5" floppy drive as well.
Euphonix software does not include disk format routines for floppies. You must
use pre-formatted IBM-compatible disks. You can format floppies by quitting
MixView (press [Alt-Q] on the QWERTY keyboard) and issuing the appropriate
DOS commands if you wish, but it's simpler to buy pre-formatted disks. Refer
to the DOS manuals that came with the support computer if you need to
format your own floppies.
