- Holding Start+Select when inserting a new disk will activate the Data Monitor instead of the Disk Card Checker.
- This screen displays metadata from the disk's info block, along with the file count, CRC checksum of the file contents, total size of the file contents, and the disk error number returned by the loading routine.
