Instruction manual
OVERVIEW
This interface connects an MZ-700 series personal
computer
and
the
MZ-1
F11
disk drive. The interface reads
the
system software (BASIC (5Z-008) etc.) with
built-in IPL
ROM.
(This takes
about
8 seconds,
not
including AUTO RUN.)
Three types of
files can be cataloged
on
a
MZ
disk:
1.
BASIC
text
file (program)
2.
Sequential data
3.
Machine-language file (system software, etc.)
Up
to
32
files can be cataloged
on
one side
of
a disk*.
If
only one program (file)
is
cataloged per side, the maximum storage capacity
is
64K bytes.
As
the
number
~
of
files increases,
the
storage capacity decreases. This
is
because a gap
is
required
between
files. Sequential data files are blocked and cataloged
in
units
of
1 K
bytes; the maximum storage capacity
of
a disk side
is
about
40K bytes.
*The
number
of
files equals
the
number
of
programs
or
group
data
entries.
