RongerDisk 2 User Guide
4. Operator Information
4.1. General
RANGERDISK 2 utilises a
Z88
utility
called 'DISKFILER 2'.
DISKFILER 2 follows closely the
operating
principles of the Z88
Filer application, including syntax and wherever possible the same
short cut codes. As a result, it
is
possible to become confused as to
which is in operation: if in doubt, check the heading Itne to see
whether Filer or DISKFILER 2 has been invoked 1
4.2 Operation
RANGERDISK 2 is a self contained unit requiring only a power
source (AC adapter supplied, or optional battery pack), a connect-
ing cable (supplied) and, of course, a Z88 to operate.
As a general precaution, avoid powering RANGERDISK 2 up or
down while a disk is installed in the drive. While every care has
been taken to ensure that data on disks installed
in
RANGERDISK
2 is safe, it is possible that disk corruption could occur during
power up/down. Therefore, please be sure to eject the disk first.
4.8 AC Operation.
WARNING Use only the AC adapter supplied for RANGERDISK 2.
NEVER use any other type of adapter. DO NOT attempt to connect
the RANGERDISK 2 adapter to your Z88: serious damage may
result. Adapters for use in overseas countries and in vehicles are
also available: please contact Ranger Computers for details.
