OVERVIEW This interface connects an MZ-700 series personal computer and the MZ-1 F11 disk drive. The interface reads the system software (BASIC (5Z-008) etc.) with built-in IPL ROM. (This takes about 8 seconds, not including AUTO RUN.) Three types of files can be cataloged on a MZ disk: 1. BASIC text file (program) 2. Sequential data 3. Machine-language file (system software, etc.) Up to 32 files can be cataloged on one side of a disk*.

CONNECTION To connect the MZ disk drive to an MZ-700 series computer, perform the following. 1. Remove the data recorder, or the cover (for MZ-711 or MZ-710). 1) Turn off the power switch of the computer and unplug the AC cord. Remove the two screws holding the data recorder from the left rear side of the computer. Lift the data recorder out of its mounting. (Figure 1) 2) Remove the connector (CN1) between the data recorder and the MZ-700 series computer.
2. Jnstall the MZ·1 F11 1) Remove the bottom plate of the MZ·1 F11 as follows: (1) Unscrew the screws holding the bottom plate at the rear side. (2) Remove the bottom plate in the direction indicated by the arrow. Bottom plate F.ont Nee eb a Roa , ((===J Remove only the bottom plate in the direction V by the arrow.
2) Connect CN2 (from the bottom of MZ-1 F11) to the conneC1Dt ·of the computer main unit that was originally connected to the data recorder. (Figure 3) 3) Mount the MZ-1 F11 where the data recorder was originally, using the screws that held the data recorder in place.
; Connector cover Figure 4 3. Connecting the MZ-1E14 and the MZ-1F11 (Figure 4) 1) Remove the cover for the external output terminal (I/O BUS) at the back of the computer main unit by unscrewing the two screws for mounting the MZ-1 F11. (These two screws will be used to fix this unit to the computer.) 2) Plug CNS of the MZ-1 E14 into the external output terminal at the back of the computer and secure it with the two screws you just removed.
