that matches the SCSI ID of the device you want to address. That is, the K2vx will interact with
the SCSI storage device whose SCSI ID matches the value of the Current Disk parameter. If you
choose a value of Floppy, the K2vx will communicate with its ßoppy disk drive.
The manual for your SCSI disk should tell you its SCSI ID. Most newer SCSI disks show their
SCSI IDs on their rear panels, and many have adjustable SCSI IDs.
The currently selected device will be read from or written to when you load, save, rename, or
delete Þles. Use the soft buttons to start any of these operations. Refer to "Soft Buttons on the
Disk Mode Page" on page 13-5 for complete information.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
Floppy disks must be formatted (initialized) to the Kurzweil format before they can be used
with the K2vx. The K2vx uses the MS-DOS format, so ßoppies formatted on DOS computers
should work with the K2vx. To format a disk on the K2vx, insert a ßoppy disk in the K2vxÕs
ßoppy drive. Make sure the disk is unlocked (the sliding switch on the back of the disk is set so
you canÕt see through the hole on that side of the disk).
Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode. Make sure the Current disk parameter says
ÒFloppy,Ó so you donÕt accidentally format any SCSI devices you might have connected! Press
the soft button labeled Format. The K2vx will ask you if you want to format, and a pair of Yes/
No soft buttons will appear. Press the
Yes
soft button, and three soft buttons will appear, letting
you choose between formatting the ßoppy as a 720K (double-density) or 1.4M (high-density)
disk. Press the appropriate soft button, or press the Cancel soft button.
If the ßoppy you inserted is double-density and you press the 1.4M soft button, the format
procedure will fail. This is also true if the disk is high-density and you press the 720K soft
button. If the ßoppy is single-sided (SSDD), you can press the 720K soft button, and the ßoppy
will be formatted as a double-sided disk. (The only difference between single- and double-
sided ßoppies is that both sides of a double-sided ßoppy have been tested by the
manufacturer.)
Once you select between the 720K or 1.4M format, the K2vx will remind you that formatting
will erase the ßoppy, and will give you two more chances to cancel the formatting procedureÑ
we want to make sure you donÕt accidentally erase any disks. Press the
Yes
soft button to
continue formatting. When formatting begins, the display will tell you that the disk is being
formatted. YouÕll hear the disk drive turning, and the disk drive LED will light.
Formatting a 1.4M ßoppy disk takes just under three minutes, including the automatic
veriÞcation. When formatting is Þnished, the display returns to the Disk mode page.
Connecting a SCSI Device
ItÕs easy to connect SCSI devices to the K2vxÕs SCSI ports. Using a SCSI device will give you off-
line storage, and can speed up your loading and saving operations considerably.
YouÕll need a SCSI cable with a 25-pin SCSI connector on the end to be connected to the K2vx. If
your SCSI device does not have a 25-pin connector at one end, you can Þnd SCSI cables like
these at any personal computer store. Connect the 25-pin end of the cable to either of the K2vxÕs
SCSI ports, and the other end to your SCSI device. Two SCSI ports are provided to enable you
to chain SCSI devices together. Before you start connecting cables, however, please read the
next section carefully. WeÕve also included important information about SCSI in Chapter 8 of
the
Reference Guide.
