3. Floppy disks
Types of floppy disk
Use either 2DD or 2HD 3.5 inch floppy disks.
Before a newly purchased floppy disk can be used
by the Ci-9600/Ci-8600, the disk must be format-
ted.
2DD floppy disks must be in MS-DOS 720 Kbyte
format, and 2HD disks must be in MS-DOS 1.44
Mbyte format.
For details on formatting, refer to p.85.
Inserting a floppy disk
With the label facing upward, insert the floppy disk
straight into the disk drive until clicks into place.
Forcing the disk into the drive will cause
malfunctions.
Removing a floppy disk
To remove a floppy disk from the disk drive, first
make sure that the disk access indicator is off. Then
press the eject button and remove the disk. The
disk access indicator will light when the floppy
disk is active.
If the disk is not ejected when you press this but-
ton, do not attempt to remove the disk by force.
Please contact your dealer or a Korg service center.
Never attempt to remove a floppy disk
while the disk access indicator is lit.
Floppy disk handling
Please observe the following points when handling
floppy disks. If the magnetic surface inside
becomes soiled or scratched, it may be impossible
to read/write data.
❍
Do not open the shutter, or touch the magnetic
surface inside the floppy disk.
❍
Do not transport the Ci-9600/Ci-8600 when a
floppy disk remains inside the disk drive.
(The heads of the drive may scratch the disk.)
❍
Do not allow a floppy disk to come near a
device that produces a magnetic field, such as
a television, computer display, speakers, or
power transformer.
❍
Do not use or store floppy disks in locations
of high temperature, high humidity, direct
sunlight, or in locations of excessive dust or
dirt.
❍
Do not place objects on top of a floppy disk.
❍
Do not apply physical shock to the Ci-9600/Ci-
8600 while the disk drive is operating.
About write protect
Floppy disks have a “write protect tab” that lets
you prevent data from being erased or over written
accidentally.
After saving data, lower the tab to the
“write protect” position to ensure that your
data will not be lost.
Head cleaning
If the heads of the drive become dirty, errors may
occur during saving or loading. For this reason,
you should clean the heads regularly. Use a com-
mercially-available wet-type 3.5 inch double-sided
head cleaning disk. For the procedure, refer to the
owner’s manual of your cleaning disk.
