If you have a PC with a Floppy Disk Drive
then refer to
FAQ 10020 - How do I move a show file from floppy
disk to USB stick on a PC?
Failing that if you have a spare floppy disk drive with ribbon cable or
a Pearl 2004 with permission from the owner to open the console and
remove the floppy disk drive…
Note that although the Tiger does not have a floppy disk drive, it still
has the floppy disk electronics and so it is possible to plug a floppy
disk drive into the motherboard and use it.
Warning: This method involves opening up the console(s) and plugging a
floppy disk drive in the Pearl Tiger, only do this in extreme emergency,
it may invalidate your warrantee, you will need a small pozi drive
screwdriver and a large flatblade screwdriver (to open the Pearl 2004).
- Ensure mains power is disconnected from the consoles before opening.
- Open the Pearl 2004, and carefully remove the floppy disk drive and
unplug the ribbon cable from the motherboard (ignore this step if you
have a spare floppy disk drive).
- Open the Pearl Tiger (there are three screws under the curved front
which allow the panel to open)
- Carefully place the floppy disk drive in the console and plug the
ribbon cable into Tiger motherboard floppy disk connector and locate a
floppy disk power connector from the power wiring on the PSU.
- Check again that you have connected the floppy disk ribbon cable and
power connector correctly, and that the floppy disk drive is well away
from any electronics.
- Place your disk in the floppy disk drive and power up the console.
- Use the Disk Load function to load the show from into the Tiger.
- Save the show onto a memory stick
- Power down the console and remove the floppy disk drive and carefully
replace the power cable to ensure it clears the roller when the console
is shut.
- Close the Tiger and REPLACE the front panel screws.
- Return the floppy drive to the Pearl 2004 re connect and close up
this console. Check the Floppy disk drive still works.
