The Internal Drive

A disk drive is a memory storage device that stores banks of data. The floppy drive is used mainly to update the operating system software. (The operating system consists of the instructions that tell the Emulator what to do.) Other types of disk drives, as described below, can connect to the Emulator to provide efficient sound storage.

Floppy Disk Drive: The floppy disk drive requires 3.5", double-sided, high-density (1.4 MB) floppy disks. As new enhancements are developed, the new software is distributed on floppy disks. The floppy drive is used to update the operating system software. This software can be copied into Flash RAM and made a permanent part of the Emulator itself.

It is also ideal for transferring sequences to and from a computer-based sequencer. With large bank sizes of 4-128 MB, the floppy disk becomes impractical for backing up sound data, although it can be used to save or transfer small sound banks in a pinch.

EOS accepts 2 kinds of floppy formats. DOS formatted disks allow multiple files per disk and are compatible with PC and Macintosh computers. EOS formatted disks allow one bank to be spread over multiple disks.

Note: The Emulator can format floppies in EOS format only. DOS floppies must be formatted on a PC or Mac computer or purchased preformatted. EOS cannot read Macintosh floppies, but fortunately the Mac can read and format DOS floppy disks.

To Update the EOS Software:

Since the EOS operating system is stored in Flash ROM, it can be easily updated to add features or to fix bugs. The following procedure explains how.

1.Turn off power.

2.Insert the floppy disk into the drive.

3.Turn on power.

4.Press Enter to update or Exit to cancel.

5.Wait for the Emulator to update its firmware.

6.Re-initialize EEPROM. (This should be done after a software update to “clean the slate”. It resets the Master menu preferences and other bits.)

a.Press Master

b.Press Utils

c.Press Tests

d.Enter the Secret Password: 1-3-5-8, then press OK.

e.Press More

f.Press InitEE The display reads, “Initialize EE?”

g.Press OK. The display reads, “Saving System”

f. Press Master to exit diagnostics mode.

7.Recalibrate the Emulator controls. See “Recalibration” on page 68.
