•A SmartMedia card created by this process can only be used for startup if

the various system files required by the PS-02 have been backed up (copied) first.

•Take care to not accidentally format the SmartMedia card supplied with the PS-02.

If you have a computer equipped with a SmartMedia card reader, you should copy the above files to the hard disk of the computer as a backup. This will allow you to restore the files on a force formatted SmartMedia card, if the original SmartMedia card supplied with the PS-02 has become unreadable or has been lost. (For details, see the preceding section.) By copying these files back to the SmartMedia card, you can create a card that is functionally identical to the factory supplied card.

The above files are also available for free download at the web site of ZOOM Corporation. In future, ZOOM will also make available new pattern data and drum & bass sound data (SOUNDS.SYN file) and factory default song (rhythm track ) and pattern data (FACSONGS.PTS file) at the web site.
