RangerDisk 2 User Guide
On entering DISKFILER 2 the user is presented with a screen
display split vertically into three sections, known as windows. This
screen is the main command screen and is the state of the display
when DISKFILER 2 is waiting for the user to request an operation.
The left window shows a list of the
possible
operations that may be
carried out. The centre window shows a list of the files currently
held on the Z88 in its Default Device and Default Directory. The
right window shows a list of files currently held
on
the disk in the
currently selected directory. The cursor is positioned on the first
possible operation in the left window. The possible operations are
explained in detail
below.
If the disk drive is not connected, or has no power the
message 'Disk Drive not responding' will appear in the disk
directory window.
The execution of
an
operation is initiated in two steps. Firstly, the
file on which the operation is to be performed must be selected and
secondly, the operation itself must be selected. The operation will
then be performed by DISKFILER 2. During the operation, status
information will be displayed to show the progress so far and the
further actions to
be
performed. When the requested operation has
been completed, DISKFILER 2 will return to it's main command
screen.
To de-install DISKFILER 2, select 'Index' mode by pressing the
`Index' key. Move the cursor onto the suspended activity named
'DISKFILER 2' in the suspended activities screen on the right hand
side of the screen and type the sequence °KILL. The screen will
blank and re-appear without the DISKFILER 2 activity.
While still in Index mode, open the flap and remove the cartridge.
Failure to Kill DISKFILER 2 will result in the Z88 beeper sounding
continuously after the cartridge is removed and the flap shut. If
this occurs, simply re-install the cartridge and follow the 'Kill'
procedure described above.
