The FMSFLP program will look for all SCSI removable media disk devices on your system and display
them in a window on your terminal screen. Use the arrows to highlight the diskette drive and press
return. You can use the arrow keys to select the desired command from the list and either FORMAT or
INITIALIZE the diskette. If the diskette is pre-formatted, INITIALIZE will setup an AMOS disk
structure on the diskette without actually re-formatting the entire diskette.
Although traditional AMOS diskettes may be formatted with FMSFLP, system performance with the
formatted diskette will be slow. Therefore, we recommend that traditional AMOS format diskettes be
pre-formatted on a different computer with an AM-219 diskette controller for highest system
performance. PC format diskettes must be pre-formatted on a PC.
Using your diskette drive
IMPORTANT! Each time you are going to remove a diskette from the drive you must unmount
the diskette by typing
Failure to properly unmount the diskette could cause corrupted data files.
First insert your diskette in the drive. Then mount the diskette using the appropriate device name. For
example, if you are using a high density traditional AMOS format diskette, type:
MOUNT AMH0:
You may access the diskette using normal AMOS commands and programs.
When you are finished using the diskette, unmount it by typing:
MOUNT AMH0:/U
This command will wait for all diskette drive activity to complete before returning to the AMOS prompt.
(This could be many seconds if you are using a large write cache)
You cannot use normal AMOS commands to read or write PC format diskettes. Instead, you must use
the special DOS floppy diskette commands:
DOSMKD, DOSDEL, DOSRMD
descriptions of these commands.
Booting from the AM-212-20 diskette
Booting from the AM-212-20 diskette drive is not supported.
