Installation Instructions: AM-212-20 3-1/2" Floppy Diskette Drive

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 drive is not supported.

PDI-00212-20-00, Rev. A01

MOUNT dev0:/U,

DOSDR, DOSTYP, DOSIMP, DOSEXP,

. See the AMOS COMMAND REFERENCE MANUAL for

where

dev

is the drive name you have chosen.
