WHEN HARD RESET FORMATS DISK

A hard reset (press <Shift> <Ctrl> <On>) does not automatically reformat (and erase the files on) the RAM disk. Anytime the 95LX boots, the BIOS checks the disk. If everything is OK, the boot continues (or the user is prompted to "initialize disk?" for a hard reset). If there's something wrong with the data on the hard disk, "RAM disk corrupted..." will be displayed and you will be asked if you want to "Initialize disk?" If the RAM disk can't be found (for example, your main and backup batteries died at the same time and you lost everything) the 95LX will go ahead and format the disk without prompting you.
