DON'T ACCIDENTALLY REFORMAT YOUR RAM CARD!

In SET UP, the Format command is located in between the Owner and Quit commands. This command formats any RAM card in your card drive, and formatting completely erases any data on the RAM card. Be careful when you Quit SET UP, or when you change Owner information. It's relatively easy to accidentally move the cursor from Owner or Quit to Format.

If you do move the cursor to Format and press (ENTER), you're asked to "Insert new card for drive A: and press ENTER when ready..." If you do not want to reformat your RAM card, DO NOT PRESS (ENTER)!!!

If you don't have a RAM card in the 95LX, it doesn't matter what you do. Press (ENTER), the 95LX will respond "Not ready, Format terminated, Press any key to continue..."

If you have a card in drive A, remove it and press (ENTER), or press (CTRL)-C to abort the format.
