Operation

...don't touch the sides!
You remember "Operation" - the childhood game where you pull plastic bones and other parts
out of a little cardboard man? No? Oh well...

Mounting and Handling

Normally, you should have the Eclipse rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. If you take it on the road,
support it from the rear as well. Keep the Eclipse well ventilated, dust-free, dry, and, like Little Bear's
porridge, neither too hot nor too cold. Don't play catch with the Eclipse or use it as a bat. Pat the Eclipse
gently and whisper sweet nothings of affection in its direction before powering it down for the night...

Memory Cards

The Eclipse accepts CompactFlash cards of all memory capacities. All functions that work with internal
memory also work with memory cards. In addition to increasing the number of programs you can store,
memory cards allow you to take your programs to a friend's Eclipse or to trade your programs for can-
dies.
To insert a memory card, well, just insert it until it stops. To remove a memory card, just pull it out (but be
sure that the yellow light isn't illuminated when you do so!). It's possible to load a program from a
BUSY
memory card and then remove the memory card – the program will still run. The card only needs to be in
 see page 54 for formatting information
place for such functions as loading, saving, updating, removing, and so forth.
While more resilient than removable media of yesteryear, you should still treat your CompactFlash cards
with respect, lest bad things happen. Don't spill on them, don't shock them, don't leave them on the dash
under hot sun, and on and on. CompactFlash cards do not need batteries.
