- Instructions
- ============
-
-
- 1. Using the lead.
-
- The 25 pin plug goes into the PRINTER port on the ST.
-
- The MALE disk drive plug goes into the DISK DRIVE port on the ST
-
- The external disk drive then plugs into the FEMALE connector on the
- BLITZ lead (instead of plugging into the ST)
-
-
- 2. Using the software
-
- BLITZ TURBO comes as a desk accessory or a program. They are
- identical in operation. Either way the software needs a copy of the
- resource file "BL_TURBO.RSC" in the same directory as the program
- (or accessory).
-
- The buttons available are now dealt with:
-
-
- BACKUP TRACKS tells BLITZ TURBO how many tracks to backup. If AUTO is
- highlighted then this will be decided automatically.
-
- BACKUP SIDES tells BLITZ TURBO how many sides the source disk has. Once
- again, if AUTO is selected this will be decided automatically.
-
- BACKUP TURBO will start to back up your disk in TURBO mode. The SOURCE
- disk should be in drive A and the DESTINATION disk in your external
- disk drive. TURBO mode is very fast - but is best used with disks
- that possess reasonably standard formats. If you have used a really
- strange format - or you have problems backing up a disk then you
- should use BACKUP NORMAL.
-
-
- 3. Hints & tips
-
- Pressing ESCAPE during a backup operation will abort that backup.
-
- While the BLITZ lead is connected you will not be able to use your
- second disk drive in a normal way (in fact the computer will not even
- realise that a second drive is connected). When you have finished
- using BLITZ you should disconnect the lead and reconnect your drive.
-
- BLITZ TURBO is currently the fastest backup system available for the
- Atari ST and we hope that it will prove to be useful for making
- backups of software that you do not want to lose. HOWEVER, you
- should be aware that BLITZ TURBO is sold solely for this purpose and
- that it is ILLEGAL to duplicate software protected under copyright.
-
- It is not advisable to backup with Blitz a disk that is itself a
- Blitz backup, as this may lead to a deteriation in the quality of
- data on the disk.
