Sharp MZ-1F19 User manual

SHARP.
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing Sharp's mini-floppy disk drive MZ-1 F19.
Please read this manual thoroughly for proper use.
The MZ-1 F19 is an external expansion storage device for Sharp personal com-
puters and contains one mini-floppy disk drive.
Notes:
1) The MZ-1 F19 contains precIsion components (LSI chips, etc.) so do not
subject it to extreme temperatures, humidity, or dust.
Further, do not use it in locations exposed to direct sunlight. This is to
prevent damage to the MZ-1 F19.
2) Do
not yank on the .power cord while it is connected. Further, turn off the
power switch before disconnecting the power cord.
3) Do
not hit, drop, or turn over the MZ-1 F19.
4)
Use the MZ-1 F19 on a horizontal and sturdy surface.
5) Do not use the M;l-l F19 next to noise generating equipment. Use a separate
power supply
from such equipm~nt. This is to prevent errors due to noise.
6)
Do not cover the ventilation hole$ on the MZ-1 F19 with objects, cloth, etc.
7)
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the MZ-1 F19 and do not use volatile liquids such
as alcohol, benzine, and thinner, or wet rags. This is to prevent damage to the
MZ-1 F19.
8) Make sure
to turn on the drive before inserting a floppy disk. If the floppy
disk is inserted while the power is off, the hub hole may become damaged
and errors may
be caused.

, A protective sheet is inserted in this disk drive to protect it from
damage due
to shocks or vibrations during transportation. Remove this
sheet before using
the disk drive. Preserve it and when the MZ-1 F19
is transported, insert it again.

2. Procedures for connecting the MZ-l F19 mini-floppy disk drive to the MZ-800
are as follows.
1) Turn off the MZ-800 and its peripheral units.
2) Install
the optional mini-floppy disk interface MZ-l E05 into the expansion
slot
on the rear panel of the MZ-800 or the MZ-l U06 expansion unit
which is connected to the MZ-800 ( 1 ).
Note:
If the ROM chip which is attached to the MZ-700 DISK BASIC is set in
the socket
on the MZ-l E05 circuit board, remove it.
3) By using the cable which is attached to the MZ-l E05 mini-floppy disk
interface, connect the
MZ-l E05 interface to the upper connector on the
rear panel
of the disk drive (CID). Then fasten the connectors with screws.

Note:
. After connecting
the mini-floppy disk drive, be sure to turn on the disk
'drive first, and then
the MZ-800. When two or more disk drives are con-
nected, turn on from the remotest disk drive. For example, when 4 disk
drives are connected,
turn on the power switch of the drive No. 4, then
No. 3, then
No. 2, then No. 1 (as for the drive numbers, refer to page 6).
Reverse this order when turning
off the power switches. If the disk drives
are turned on
or off in the wrong order, the contents of the disks may be
destroyed.

Note:
The jumper setting pattern should be one of the 4 patterns on the next
page.
4) Replace the cover and screw it.
5) Remove the lower connector cover on the rear panel of the disk drive
which
is already connected, and plug the connector with the name label
of the MZ-1 C30 cable into the lower connector. Connect the other
connector
of the cable to the upper connector of the additional disk drive.
Fasten
both connectors of the cable with screws.
Follow the same procedures when the third and fourth disk drives are
connected.
