HANDLING FLOPPY DISKS
When handling floppy disks, certain precautions
should be taken to avoid damage and/or data
loss.
• Do not open the metal protection shutter or
touch the surface of a disk
• Do not transport WK3 with a floppy disk in-
serted in the disk drive. Vibration may cause
the disk drive head to scratch the disk, ren-
dering it unusable.
• Do not store or place floppy disks in close
proximity of television sets, computer moni-
tors, loudspeakers, power transformers, or
other devices that are potential sources of
magnetic fields. Doing so may render the
disk unusable.
• Do not store or place floppy disks in loca-
tions subject to extremes of temperature and
humidity, direct sunlight, or excessive dust
and dirt.
• Do not place objects on top of a floppy disk.
• Return disks to their protective cases after
use.
BACK-UP COPIES
It is advisable to keep back-up copies of all your
floppy disks. “Back-up” is technical jargon for “a
second copy” of a disk. Back-up copies of your
data stored in a safe place are extremely impor-
tant. If you loose your instrument and disks ei-
ther by theft during transport to a musical event,
or other accident, in one way or another you’ll
find money to replace the instrument, but to re-
place your library of disks, which may have tak-
en years to compile, is another matter!
To copy data from one disk to another, you al-
ways need to go through the RAM first, loading
the original to RAM then saving it to the destina-
tion back-up floppy disk.
DISK DRIVE HEAD CLEANING
After a prolonged period of use, disk save and
load errors may become frequent due mainly to
dirty disk drive heads, indicating that the disk drive
head may need cleaning. This can be done us-
ing a good-quality fluid-type head cleaning kit for
3.5 inch (double-sided) disk drives. Do not use a
cleaning kit intended for single-sided disk drives.
1. Moisten the cleaning disk with cleaning fluid.
2. Insert the cleaning disk into the disk drive.
3. Execute a load function. An error message will
appear. This is normal.
4. After approximately 10 seconds, eject the disk.
Do not use the disk drive for about 5 minutes.
