162 Chapter 14—SCSI & External Disk Drives
D24—Owner’s Manual
Duplicating MO Disks

MO disks can be duplicated using two D24s and the Duplicate function. In addition to

duplicating disks, this is a convenient way to back up MO disks. The source and desti-

nation MO disks must be of the same capacity: 230 MB, 540 MB, or 640 MB. You can-

not, for example, duplicate a 230 MB disk to a 640 MB disk. The type of disk, however,

is not important, so you can duplicate an Overwrite-type MO disk to a normal MO

disk and vice versa.

Individual projects can be copied between an external disk drive and the internal MO

drive using the Backup function. See “Copying Projects Between Disk Drives” on page

164 for more information.

Setting the SCSI ID of the Internal MO Drive

In order to use the Duplicate function, the internal MO drive of the destination D24

(D24-B) must be set to a higher SCSI ID than the MO drive of the source D24 (D24-A).

Since the default SCSI ID for the internal MO drive is 2, you could set the D24-B to

SCSI ID 3, 4, or 5, or alternatively set D24-A to SCSI ID 0 or 1 (SCSI IDs 6 and 7 are

reserved for other purposes). See “Setting the SCSI ID of the Internal MO Drive” on

page 193 for more information.

Hookup

To hookup the D24s you’ll need a 50-pin, half-pitch SCSI cable (pin type). Data is

transferred from D24-A to D24-B via the SCSI cable. The MO disk in D24-A is dupli-

cated to the MO disk in D24-B. The internal MO drive of D24-B is set to SCSI ID 3.
