Disk operations

When using the IB-103 interface board, SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) numbers

may be from 0 to 7, and the two numbers for the S1000 and the hard disk must be different. If

an internal hard disk is fitted, the number of this hard disk will be set to 5, and the SCSI ID of

the S1000 for use when accessing from an external initiator will be set to 6 (this number can

be changed).

When using the IB-102 interface board, Atari (or Supra) hard disks can take ID values from 0

to 7 when used with the S1000. ID number 0 should be used.

The BACK key allows you to use the optional digital interface board (IB-104) to back up the

contents of a bard disk (or the current volume in memory) to a DAT using the digital interface

board. Use the EDIT SAMPLE

DIGI page to set up digital transmission and either optical or

electrical transmission. The transmission rate should be selected (either 48.OkHz or 44.1kHz)

to match the data rate of the DAT. Select either

"MEMORY" or "BARD DISK" as an option.

If you are backing up the volume in memory, you can change the volume name for further

reference (use the

NAME procedure). Start recording on the DAT, and press SAVE on the S1000.

It will take about 30 seconds to save a volume. Samples will be saved in normal sample

format, but sample headers, programs, etc will be saved in a special format. Both channels'

data will be saved, but on restoration, only the L channel will be read.

Backing up the contents of the hard disk is a similar process. However, due to a time gap

inserted between each data block, each volume will take about 100 seconds to save. All

volumes on the hard disk will be saved.

Restoring data is a similar process. If you want to restore one volume into memory, enter the

name of the previously-saved volume, set the "

backup type" to "MEMORY", and press LOAD

after setting the DAT to PLAY. If you wish to restore a hard disk, all

volumes will be

restored. It is not possible to make a partial restoration of data (one volume) from tape.

As saving and restoration progresses, the number of samples, programs and total volumes will

be displayed on screen.

NOTE Though digital tape streaming offers many advantages in terms of speed,

convenience, and price of media, AKAI does not guarantee the integrity of data

backed up in this way. It is -therefore strongly recommended that for archive copies

of your data, you use diskettes.
