Saving to Folders on a SCSI Device

Creating a New Folder

If you have a SCSI disk device connected to the MPC2000XL, you can make separate folders that
you can save files to, the same as you would on a computer.
For example, you could have separate folders for drum sounds, piano sounds, loops, etc.
You can also place folders within folders.
