Disk Drives<br />

<strong>Series</strong> <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Application</strong> Programmer’s <strong>Guide</strong><br />

<strong>Series</strong> <strong>3000</strong> terminals do not have physical disk drives. However, various areas<br />

of memory emulate disk drives, as follows:<br />

Disk drive A is emulated by the system EPROM which contains the<br />

default operating system. If a custom operating system is downloaded to<br />

the system area of NVM, this becomes drive A, and the EPROM becomes<br />

inaccessible.<br />

Disk drive B is emulated by the user area of NVM, if installed and<br />

configured.<br />

There is no drive C; it is mapped to a null device.<br />

Disk drive D is emulated by the RAM disk, if configured.<br />

<strong>Application</strong> programs can write only to drive D, the RAM disk.<br />

These drive designations are fixed by the system software and cannot be<br />

altered.<br />
