•

For traditional directories using the entire drive with the largest possible bitmaps:

set Directory Type to Traditional and Optimize to Yes. FMSFLP calculates both bitmap

size and number of logical devices.

•

For extended directories using the entire drive: set Directory Type to Extended and

Optimize to Yes. Enter the number of logical devices you want. FMSFLP calculates the

best bitmap size.

•

For any other removable media configuration, you can set Optimize to No and enter the

Directory Type, Bitmap Size, and Number of Logicals you want.

The number of logicals must be one (1) for AMOS format media. Although AM-SCSI

format media will support multiple logical devices, one (1) logical is recommended for

these diskettes.

The type of media in the drive is not detected prior to formatting, so the configuration

defaults to high density AM-SCSI.

After choosing a configuration, press

RETURN

to continue.

If you decide you don’t want to format the drive, select Cancel and press

RETURN

. Otherwise, the drive

begins formatting when you make your selection.
