HARD DISK SUPPLEMENT
4. If you answered NO at the beginning of step 3, the display tells you that the Emulator II
is...
Saving All Banks

...which fills up the Hard Disk with null Presets. This operation takes about two minutes,
so you have enough time to dust off the Emulator II keyboard, tidy up the studio a bit, or
make a quick phone call.
Important Note: Errors
If you choose to load the Hard Disk from floppies, but exit the Disk module before all Presets
have been loaded, look out!!
Calling up non-existent Banks will cause crashes until data is loaded into those Banks. A simple
way to insure that this doesn't happen is to first load the Hard Disk with null Presets, then load
Banks into the Hard Disk by 1) loading Banks into the Emulator II (from floppy disks) and 2)
saving Banks to the Hard Disk. Note that this is more time-consuming than the "Reload Backup
Floppies" routine described earlier.
If an error occurs during formatting, the display will slowly scroll out the message "D-I-S-K R-E-
A-D E-R-R-O-R." This looks like one of those Time Square message boards and is rather
entertaining. The message will continue to be sent until the end of the formatting process even
after formatting has moved along to sections of the Hard Disk that do not contain errors.
