Basic Disk Mode
Load Function Dialog
Selecting Multiple Files to Load
As stated previously, you can select multiple les for loading into the K2661 from within a single
directory, in one operation. This is done from the le list dialog with the Select button.
After you have selected one or more les in this way, you will still choose a bank and mode to be
used for the load process, just as with loading a single le. However, the dialog prompt will say
Load selected as:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||Load|selected|as:200...299*||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||300...399|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||400...499*||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||500...599|||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||OK|||Cancel
If you selected any macro les (.MAC extension) from the directory, then once you have select
the mode for loading, you will see the question:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Load|macros|as|specified?|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
The answer to this question instructs the K2661 that any macro les will have their macro entries
loaded according to the bank and mode:
Yes specied in the macro entry.
No currently specied for this multiple le load. In other words, whatever you select for
Bank and Mode will override the instructions for each entry in the macro.
At this point the les will begin to load. When all the les have been successfully loaded or the
load process has been aborted, the K2661 returns to the Disk-mode page.
If there are any errors encountered during a multiple le load, such as running out of object
RAM, you will be asked once if you wish to abort the load. In some cases, you may wish to
continue loading. If you continue (and don’t abort), the only way to abort will be to use a special
procedure described in the next paragraph.
Aborting a Multiple File Load
There is a way to abort the process of loading multiple les. Aborting can only be done
“in between” les that are being loaded, and not during the load of any one le (short of
powering off or soft-resetting the machine by pressing +/-, 0, and Clear simultaneously, but this
is not recommended!).
