Note: Repeat the above procedure with the

Note to Macintosh USB Floppy drive users:
Apple's Disk Copy program will not work
using the above method with a USB floppy drive
because the menu option "Make a Floppy..." will
not be available. You must use Aladdin Systems'

trial download from http://www.aladdinsys.com/
shrinkwrap/index.html. Once you have
ShrinkWrap installed, substitute these steps for
steps 3-6 in the above directions.

disk into the floppy disk drive.
Summary
This chapter has been specifically designed to
help you understand the basic concept of the Digital
8•Bus architecture. The following two chapters
describe the physical surface controls and the
software features and capabilities. The last chapter
describes specific applications as they pertain to
unique recording tasks and needs.
Chapters 2 and 3 support what you’ll encounter
in Chapter 4. Feel free to jump ahead, but keep in
mind that you’ll probably need to use these second
two chapters as a reference for the terms and
controls that are new to you.
