52 Owner’s Manual
CLEANING THE DISK DRIVE HEAD
After the instrument has been used for a long period of time, the disk drive
head may become dirty, and cause frequent disk load and disk save errors.
To proceed to head cleaning, make sure you will use a good-quality fluid-
type head cleaning kit for 3.5” double-sided disk drive. Do not use a cleaning
kit intended for old single-sided disk drives.
1. Moisten the cleaning disk with the fluid product.
2. Insert the cleaning disk into the drive.
3. Execute a loading procedure. An error message will appear. It must
appear, as this is perfectly normal.
4. After about 10 seconds, extract the disk.
WARNING!: Wait at least 5 minutes before using the drive again.
PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE WHEN USING WK1 DISKS
WITH A COMPUTER
As occurs with MS-DOS operating system, WK1 Or uses up to 8-character
filenames, and a 3-character extension.
Macintosh, OS/2 and Windows 95 operating systems may use longer
names. When a file is named, or renamed on these computers, the following
rules should be followed:
1. Never change the file extension, since it identifies the type of file and
the relative structure.
2. Never use names longer than 8 characters.
Furthermore, owing to some limitations of MS-DOS and Atari systems, it
is extremely important to observe the following precautions:
1. Do not insert spaces within a file name (e.g.: “MY FILE”). MS-DOS
does not recognize file names containing spaces. To keep a file name
divided into two distincted parts, you can separate the two parts with
an “underscore” symbol (e.g.: “MY_FILE”).
3. Do not assign the same name to two different files, even though one is
written all in Capitals and the other with small letters (e.g. “MYFILE”
and “myfile”). MS-DOS and Atari do not distinguish between capital
and small (or uppercase and lowercase) letters.
Back-up copies
It is advisable to keep a back-up copy of the more valuable Floppy Disks.
The back-up copies should be stored in safe places, as they are of extreme
importance in case the data contained either in the instrument or in other
Floppy Disks get lost or damaged.
To transfer data from a Floppy Disk to another it is necessary to go through
the instrument RAM memory. The contents of the source Floppy Disk (the
one containing the data you want to back-up) should be first loaded to
WK1 Or RAM memory, then saved to the destination Floppy Disk (the one
you will keep as a back-up copy).
