HARD DISK SUPPLEMENT

SPECIAL 19 - ENTER ERROR LIST

This is not a common operation, except at the factory where an error log is created for

the first time. However, if a catastrophic disk crash occurs where the error log list has

been lost, this procedure is necessary for re-creating the error log.

Note: Hard disks come with an error log as provided by the manufacturer. This

information is supplied by E-mu with the hard disk (also see Hard Disk software label). This,

plus any additional errors that are discovered, consult the error log.

1. Enter the Disk module and enter 19. The display asks:

Use Floppy Disk

Error Log? (Y/N)

Normally the answer is NO, since you will probably be using the factory-supplied list of

Hard Disk errors. If you already have a floppy disk with operating software that contains

the error log, you would enter YES.

2. After entering NO, the display prompts you to enter the supplied data in the following

format:

# of Defects in

List? (00-99)

(00 - 99) - Enter the total number of defects listed. The display now says:

Dfcf nn Head#?

(0-3)

...where nn is a defect number; enter the head # data (0-3) from the defect list.

The display now asks...

Dfct nn Cyl#?

(0- three digit number)

Enter the cylinder number listed for that defect. The display now asks:

Dfct nn Byte-IX?

(00000-20K)bbbbb

Enter the byte number listed for that defect. Continue cycling through these messages

until the entire error list has been entered.
