The DisCover 5’s Disk/Media functions allow you to save edited songs to disk or SmartMedia card, to save and load
your User Programs, MIDI Sets, and Song Chains, to format floppy disks and SmartMedia cards, to delete files, and
to copy disks and SmartMedia cards.

As a rule, it is wiser to work with a SmartMedia card. The DisCover 5 supports 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128MB SmartMe-
dia cards. You can also use 2DD or 2HD floppies, but the most helpful functions (Song Finder, User Program Finder,
Chain function, automatic song links to User Programs) are only available for files on SmartMedia card. 2HD disks
have twice the capacity of 2DD disks, so use 2HDs whenever you can.
