TS-12 Disk Messages
Disk messages are displayed for one second and indicate either successful completion or non-
fatal error conditions encountered during a disk operation:
• DISK COMMAND COMPLETED — indicates that the disk operation was completed
successfully and without errors.
• DISK WRITE-PROTECTED — appears during SAVE or DELETE operations if the diskette is
write-protected.
• DISK HAS BEEN CHANGED — appears when you respond *YES* to LOAD, SAVE or
DELETE when the disk in the drive has been changed since the last time the TS-12 loaded a
disk directory.
• DISK DRIVE NOT READY — usually indicates that there is no diskette in the drive, although
it can indicate a hardware problem if it persists.
• NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE — indicates that there are not enough available sectors on
diskette to save the file.
• FILE DOES NOT EXIST — appears when you respond *YES* to LOAD or DELETE when the
display shows FILE=*NO FILES*.
• DISK COMMAND NOT COMPLETED — appears when you respond *NO* to DELETE OLD
VERSION? when saving files.
• NO FREE DISK FILES — indicated that there are no free directory entries in which to save the
file.
• NO SYS-EX DATA TO SAVE — indicates that there is no data in the Sys-Ex Recorder to save.
• SEQUENCER MEMORY RESET — appears after using the Sys-Ex Recorder (which erases
sequencer memory) and you try to enter a sequence.
• FILE TOO LARGE TO LOAD — indicates that the sequence data in the file will not fit into the
free memory. Delete sequences or songs to make some memory available. If that does not
work, the file may have been saved from a system with expanded memory.
• INCOMPATIBLE DISK CAPACITY — appears when copying an HD disk’s contents to a DD
disk, or vice versa.
• NOT ENOUGH SOUND RAM INSTALLED — appears when you try to Auto-Load a
SAMPLE-BANKS file that was created on an 8 Meg TS-12 into a 2 Meg unit.
Note: Any Sample-Banks files created on an 8 Meg TS-12 using BankSet S9, and then loaded into a 2
Meg unit will automatically erase all Sampled Sounds in BankSet S9.
Fatal Error Messages
Fatal error messages are always accompanied by the PRESS ANY BUTTON TO CONTINUE...
prompt, and remain on the screen until any button is pressed. These messages indicate serious
error conditions which interrupted the disk operation. These errors may have prevented the
correct saving or loading of the data in the file(s).
• DISK DRIVE NOT READY — indicates either that there is no diskette in the drive or that there
are hardware problems.
• DISK NOT FORMATTED — the disk format was not recognized, and the disk is either blank
or formatted for some other system.
• NOT TS-12 DISK — the disk format was recognized, but the disk does not contain TS-12 data.
• DISK ERROR - WRITE VERIFY — during a SAVE operation, the data written could not be
verified. Probably indicates a bad disk sector. The file may be unusable.
• DISK ERROR - LOST DATA — during a disk read operation, the system missed data coming
from the disk. Probably indicates a hardware problem. The file may be unusable.
