6. To select another disk, press ENTER and return to step 3.
7. Press the Master/Global button to exit the submodule.
The ESI-32 will return to the Module Identifier.
6. Format Disk
Before a new floppy disk or hard disk can record or store any data, it
first must be told how to record this data. This is called formatting. The
floppy disk formatting procedure should be run on any new disk, or on
recycled disks previously used with other systems (such as home com-
puters), since these will not be formatted correctly for the ESI-32.
Formatting a disk will not erase the bank currently in memory.
1. Activate Master/Global module.
2. Select 7. Disk Utilities, 6. Format Disk (7/6).
3. Select the drive to be formatted and press ENTER.
The ESI-32
will default to the floppy drive.

4. Consider the implications of your action.
Formatting a floppy or
hard disk erases all information on that disk completely. The display
will inquire if in fact you want to do this.
5. Press Yes to continue the formatting procedure or No to cancel
the operation and return to the Module Identifier.
6. If in step 3 you selected the floppy drive, insert a double-density
floppy disk, and press ENTER.
Formatting takes about 60 sec-
onds.
7. After formatting a floppy disk, format another, if desired.
The
display will ask if you want to format another floppy. To do this,
press Yes, remove the current disk, insert a new disk, and press
ENTER. Otherwise, press No to cancel the operation and return to
the Module Identifier.

Caution:
Although the ESI-32 will accept
standard single density diskettes, we
recommend that you always use High
Density diskettes. High density disks can be
identified by the “HD” logo printed on the
disk.
