Double sided backup in as little as 40 seconds! Up to 89 track backup for high-capacity disks Auto detect for number of tracks to backup (if required) Auto detect for number of sides to backup (if required) 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. Copyright (C) Blitz Software Products 1989 .-|
