Utilities

The contents of the UTILS menu will be different depending on
whether the current device is FLOPPY, INT. HD or SCSI.
Here are the main options:
FORMAT 1.62
This can be used to format HD floppy disks to the Equinox's
own high capacity standard. If you are creating disks which are
primarily to be used only with this instrument or to share with
other Equinox users then this format is more efficient and uses
more of the disk's available space.
FORMAT 1.44
FORMAT 720K
The Equinox is able to format and use disks in either of the
popular MS-DOS sizes. MS-DOS formatted disks should be used
if you want to copy disks on a home computer of if you want to
send them via the internet.
PROTECTION
This setting prevents accidental overwriting and erasure to valu-
able data on a re-writeable device, (e.g Hard Disk)
BACKUP
This feature allows you to make a safety backup of a large block
from the Hard Disk or other media onto a series of floppy disks.
RESTORE
The accompaniment feature to BACKUP, this function will re-
store a large block to a hard disk or other media from the series
of floppies to which it was originally backed up.
