On the S/3 F1 and F2 did not refer to function keys but, rather, disk
units:
Fixed 1 (where the operating system (SCP) resided). It took a CE to
access
the fixed drives.

R1 and R2 were Removable drives (5444). They, as well as the Fixed
drives,
had a whopping 5 Mb IIRC.

D1-D4 were "high capacity" drives. The 5445's looked like cake layers,
had,
I think, a 10 mb capacity, and 5-6 heads, which moved in unison. Later
(I
forget the model number) the 5445's were replaced by a really high
capacity
drive that reminded me, when in silhouette, of the Starship Enterprise.
The
Dx drives were removable (swappable).

The SCP didn't, however, check the swaps very well (if at all). We had
four
drives. One database was so large (for the time) that it took one entire
disk, a second disk to hold the db+added records, a third drive to hold
the
sorted file (Addrout). Had an operator get ahead of himself and swapped
out
one of the drives too early (before prompted). The OS didn't detect it
and
the resulting report was a mess. Took my boss and me the rest of the day
to
figure out what happened.

Now, wanna talk about something really fun? 1403 N1.

mind,
by deepening the sympathies, by fortifying the will, history enables to
control not society, but ourselves - a much more important thing; it
prepares us to live more humanely in the present and to meet rather than
to
foretell the future. -Carl Becker

F1, F2, etc, was used for function keys one, function key 2, etc. But R1,
R2, and then D1?? What do they mean? I do not recall even seeing them in
manuals. Matching records were in the manuals but I never used them in
any
programs.


Thank you,
Nancy
