30. 00 Floppy Disc Drive - Option<br />
30.10Introduction<br />
The Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) option allows the user to save and restore data on a<br />
pre-formatted IBM PC format 3.5 inch diskette. These diskettes are available from<br />
most computer stores. The FDD option can be used in conjunction with all other<br />
<strong>Event</strong> option panels, including the VDU/MCard option. Note, however, that a part<br />
change is necessary on the MCard if both the FDD and MCard options are to be used<br />
together.<br />
NOTE: When fitting a FDD to an existing <strong>Event</strong>, check first with your distributor to ensure<br />
compactability.<br />
30.10 Installation<br />
Follow the instructions in the upgrade kit (if used), making sure you use the correct<br />
instruction for your console. Put the old parts to one side so that if the upgrade does<br />
not work correctly, the original parts can be replaced to restore console operation.<br />
When the installation is complete perform a Deep Clear (reset) as described in<br />
Section 23 of the user manual.<br />
30.20 Operation<br />
The FDD option functions are accessed through the SETUP/BKUP menu. In this<br />
menu there are four options:<br />
* MCard: The MCard option functions as described in Section 20 of the user<br />
manual.<br />
* Disk: The DISK option is used when data is to be transferred to or from the<br />
diskette. Move the cursor to the DISK option and press the (On) button to open<br />
the Diskette control menu. Ensure a diskette has been inserted into the drive slot<br />
before this option is selected. When the diskette drive has been initialised, a<br />
menu similar to the MCard save/load menu will be opened.<br />
NOTE: If no diskette is present in the disk drive when the DISK option is selected, an error<br />
message will be displayed and the DISK transfer will be aborted.<br />
1. Move the cursor to the FILENAME option<br />
2. Type in the name of the diskette file to be saved or loaded.<br />
3. Move the cursor to either the SAVE or LOAD field (as appropriate)<br />
4. Press the (On) button to initiate transfer. Data transfer takes approximately<br />
one minute.<br />
NOTE: Do not remove the diskette while the drive light is on.<br />
* Time and Date: The TIME and DATE options are used to set the time and date<br />
of the clock on the FDD option. Once set, the time and date are added to the disk<br />
file attributes when a show is saved. These only need to be set once - the clock<br />
runs automatically after that and only needs to be reset if it becomes inaccurate.<br />
NOTE: Time is displayed in 24 hour mode eg. 13:00 = 1:00pm. Use the numeric keypad<br />
or (On)/(Off) button to set the time.<br />

30.30Maintenance<br />
The diskette drive mechanism is mechanical and should always be treated with care.<br />
Never allow the entry of fluids into the slot, and always ensure a diskette is in the<br />
drive when the console is moved.
