to which you must respond 'YES' before copying will take place.
If you have two disc drives then you can copy one disc to another without
having to swap discs by putting the original disc in one drive and a blank
formatted one in the other; you can then type:
*BACKUP 0 1
Using the ADFS
Before you start reading this section you might like to know that there is a
tutorial program on the Welcome disc which teaches you about the ADFS. You
can call it up by selecting it from the main menu in the Icon software, which
was covered at the beginning of this guide.
Initialising the ADFS
Normally, the ADFS is the filing system which is automatically selected by the
computer when switched on. However, if you have other optional software in
the computer then you may need to select the ADFS explicitly, by typing:
*ADFS
which will cause the light on the left-hand drive to glow. The ADFS is now
waiting for a disc, so put the Welcome disc into the drive with its label
uppermost and the metal shutter nearest the drive. It is impossible to insert a
disc the wrong way around, as you will quickly discover if you are trying to do
so. NEVER try to force a disc into a drive as you stand a good chance of
damaging both. Once you have inserted it the ADFS will spend a couple of
seconds reading information from the disc and it is then ready for use.
If you want to use the other disc drive you need to start up the ADFS 'quietly',
ie. without accessing the drive, and then tell it where to find your disc with the
*MOUNT command, thus:
*FADFS
*MOUNT 1
The *FADFS command tells the ADFS to prepare for work but does not cause it
to access either drive. The *MOUNT 1 command instructs the ADFS to refer
henceforth to the disc in drive 1. If you wish to change drives again you need to
type:
*DISMOUNT
to allow the ADFS to 'release' the disc in drive 1, and then issue a *MOUNT
command to tell the ADFS where the new disc is, e.g.:
*MOUNT
