FD-8
4-10. Free Block Check
This mode is used to check the condition of the diskette
inserted into an external SCSI drive connected to the FD-8
or the internal E-IDE hard disk drive. (As mentioned before,
the SCSI drive has a priority unless the SCSI ID is set to
“6”.)
If the Free Block indicates a large number even after
formatting and no signal is recorded or recorded signals are
frequently skipped, the diskette / hard disk drive can be
judged to be in a bad condition.
4-11. Test 1
This Service Mode is exclusively designed for software
programming purpose. There is nothing to do with servicing
/ repairing the FD-8.
