Your main drive will become the copy drive and vice versa.
F1/F2, Directory (main/copy):
Displays a directory from the specified drive.
F3/F4, Extended dir (main/copy):
Displays ALL files in the directory including any deleted files. In addition, each file's start track (T) and sector (S) is displayed. This feature won't support RAMDOS.
For both directory types, you can scroll up and down using the cursor keys, use + and - to move one page up and down respectively, and HOME to go to the top of the directory. To select a 1581 subdirectory, place the cursor on the subdirectory name and press RETURN. Press "/" to select the root directory. You can press F1 through F4 directly to access the other directory type and/or the other drive without returning to the Disk Tools menu.
F5/F6, Disk report (main/copy):
This feature will produce a statistical overview of the disk in the accessed drive. If you're using a 1581, only the currently selected directory will be taken into account.
The disk name and ID will be printed first. Then a list of how many files there are of each type, along the sum of the disk blocks each file type uses. Also the total number of files and the blocks they occupy is displayed. Finally, the number of boot sectors (if any), blocks free and total blocks on disk is displayed.
Please note improperly closed files (splat files) is NOT included in the file count. Also please note that DEL files in the list DOES NOT mean scratched files. Only files that appear as DEL files in a normal directory will be counted. A DEL file, if properly closed, is a completely legitimate file type which can be read as any SEQ file.
Regarding boot sectors, you'll see "0" or "1" most often, but multisector boot areas can also be encountered. There are two cases where you'll see "(N/A)" where the number of sectors should be: This will happen if RAMDOS or a 1581 subdirectory is accessed. RAMDOS can't have boot sectors, and in the case of the 1581, the boot area of track 1 is accessible only if the root directory is selected.
The "Grand total" is the sum of the blocks used by files, boot blocks and free blocks left on the disk. Normally this should add up to the total capacity of your disk. There are however, a number of reasons where this might not be the case. For example, the blocks that is counted for each file in the directory may in some cases not reflect the actual size of the file. It is possible to alter the number of blocks in the directory without changing the length of the file (or vice versa). Disk blocks may also be marked as used without being part of files (this is what Commodore disk manuals refer to as "random files"). Bear this in mind if the grand total doesn't make sense. Actually, the grand total is an excellent indicator that something might be wrong with the disk. Errors in the BAM occur more often than you think. Validating the disk might then be a good idea.
F7/F8, DOS command (main/copy):
Enter a DOS command on the specified drive. You will se a '@' character at the bottom of the screen along with the device number you will be using. Identical to the main menu DOS commands. Refer to the main menu section for further details.
DEL, Ram Expansion Unit on/off:
THE SERVANT can use any Commodore Ram Expansion Unit as data storage when using the Disk Copier and File Copier. When turned ON, THE SERVANT will analyze and display the size of your REU. Please note however, THE SERVANT won't identify any REU to be bigger than 1Mb, even if your REU does have more memory onboard. Since duplicating 1581 disks is the most memory hungry job you're ever going to do within THE SERVANT, this limitation won't hamper you. Analyzing the REU's size won't change its contents, but you should NOT turn it on if RAMDOS is active. The REU contents will be disturbed and your system will crash as soon as THE SERVANT begins to store data in the REU.
