This document _describes the SB180FX system

utilities

provided with the _{Micromint single} board computer using the

Hitachi HD64180 _{high-integration} _{microprocessor.}

The _suite _consists _of the _programs _described _on the

following pages. Detailed information concerning ZCPR3 _is

contained in the book ZCPR3: _{The Manual} _and ZRDOS _{is described in}

the _booklet ZRDOS _programmer's _guide.

Executable system

utilities

have _either

built-in

_help _for usage and syntax, or are user—prcmpted and menu—driven. Most

tools and

utilities

will

_display a

brief

help _screen

if

they _are

invoked _with _two slashes _in the parameter

field

_(e.g.

SYSGENFX

//).

SB180FX System Software Suite

FVCFX

Parameters: None.

Déscription:

The Format,

Verify,

Copy program

will

format and

verify

a

5.25" ciisR in any Of six formats and an 8" disk in _any of three

formats. In addition,

it

will

make track-to-track copies of any

of the _{three double-sided} _{5.25" formats.} Both the source disk and _destination _disk must be _of _the same format for the _cQpy

function to work.

MDSKFX

I

Parameters:

I

- initialize

the M: RAM _disk

Description:

Memory DiSk

will

initialize

the E4: _ram

disk when

it

_is invokéd _{with EhéT'I'} _parameter. _Any _other parameters

will

cause

a help _screen _to be displayed.

The M: RAM _{disk consists} _of

all

_of the unused memory between

physical addresses 500OOH _and 7FFFFH _and _is _192k _bytes. To

access

this

"disk

drive,"

simply use 'M:

'

as the drive

designator.

NDSKFX

I

Parameters:

I _-

initialize

the N: RAM _disk

ijescription:

The N: _rabí _{disk is nearly identical} _to _the M: RAM _disk _(see

description above). The N: RAM _{disk consists of}

all

_the _memory

installed beyond the base 256k (which _is used by Z-System and the

m: RAM

disk).

If

there is only 256k _of memory on the SBI80FX,

NDSKFX

will

_appear _{to function} _properly, _but _the _BIOS _{won't allow}

any accesses _to the N: _disk _and

will

_flag _any _{attempts with} an

error.

CONFIGFX

Parameters: None.

Description:

This

utility

is used _to CONFIGure _assorted system parameters such _{as bauá} _rate, _drive _{step rate,} _{and motor} _on _time.

It

is f"ully menu-driven and takes advantage _of the TCAP _(terminal

capabilities)

feature of ZCPR3.

If

you haven't selected a

terminal type using.TCSELECT, then the _information _presented by

CONFIGFX

will

_be _{un£ormatted, but}

still

readable.

(3)

SB180FX System Software _Suite

Changes saved _to memory

will

take _effect _immediately, _but

will

be

lost

the _next time the computer _is booted. Changes saved

to disk are permanent, _{but don't} take _effect

until

the _next time the computer _{is booted.}

SYSGENFX _[ufn.typ]

Parameters:

ufn.typ — optional name of a

file

containing an operating

system image.

Description:

SYSGENFX _{allows reading} _and _writing _the _system _{tracks of} _an

SB180FX _disk.

If

a filename

isn't

given, the _program

will

prompt

for the

letter

_of the _source _drive _followed by the

letter

_of" the

destination drive.

If

a

file

is specified, the _program

will

read

the _operating system image from the

file

and

will

prompt _for the

letter

of the _destination _drive. SYSGENFX _must be _used _before _a

disk can be used to boot the _computer. HDINITFX

Parameters: None.

Description:

.The .H,ard .D,isk _INITialize _program _performs

all

that's

necessary to _configure your system and hard _{disk drive} _to _your

specifications.

It

is

fully

menu driven and, in most _cases,

self

explanatory.

If

you ever have a doubt _as _to how _to _answer a

question, simply press return. The _default _answer (shown _in parentheses _in most cases)

will

be used by the _program.

(Note: When _verifying _the _hard _disk, _a _bad _sector

will

_cause

the

verify

_{fúnctiQñ to abort.}

If

_{this occurs,} _use the _public

domain _program FBAD _{to find} _{and mark}

all

the bad _sectors. See

the _public domain _{section for} _more _details _{on FBAD.)}

CDC C

Parameters:

c = H _- hard disk context F

- floppy disk context Description:

Change Disk _Context.

It

_{is often useful to} be _able _to _map

drive A: to the hard _{disk instead of} tQ a _floppy. _{This allows}

the system _to warm boot from the hard _disk, _resulting _in _faster

warm boots and _freeing you from keeping a boot _{disk in} the

first

" _{floppy drive.}

CDC _is _used _in _one _of _two _ways. _The command 'CDC _H'

will

set up the system so the hard disk drive is drives A: through D:

,

depending _on how _the _drive _is

partitioned.

(If,

for example,

it

(4)

SB180FX System Software Suite drives A: _through C:

.)

The _floppies are then known as drives E: through H:

,

depending _on how _many _{floppy drives} _are connected.

Before the CDC FI _command

is issued, however, _{you must} have

written a system image _to the system tracks of the hard _disk

drive.

If

this

isn't

done, the computer _won't be _able _to _do _a

warm boot

after

the CDC command _has _finished, and the system

will

hang. The procedure _{for writing} to the hard

disk's

system _tracks

is described in the

installation

_{section of} the SBI80FX _user's manual.

The _{other valid} _usage _is 'CDC _F'. _{This simply} undoes the

CDC H _command. _The _floppies

revert back _to A: through D: _{and the}

hard _disk becomes E: through H:

.

Another _side

effect

_of the CDC command _{is that} _some _system

utilities

designed _to _run _on a floppy-only system

will

continue referring to the _floppies _as _drives A: through D:

,

regardless of

the _current _{disk context.} Two examples _of

this

_are FVCFX _and SYSGENFX. _Suppose _you _want _{to format} _a _{disk in} _the

first

floppy drive, but you have already run CDC _so _that the

first

_drive _is

drive E:

.

FVC _{won't accept} E _as a valid drive, _{so you must} enter

A. _(Don't _worry, FVCFX

will

_never _{attempt to format} _your hard

disk

drive.)

A _variation _of _this _is CONFIGFX. While

it

_correctly

recognizes the _current _{disk context,}

it

_{only accepts} A _through D

as a valid drive. _Therefore,

if

you want to use CONFIGFX _to

change the parameters on a disk

in,

_say, the

first

floppy drive,

the system must be _in the _{floppy context} _{so you} _can _refer _{to that}

" _drive

as drive A:

.

Issue the CDC F command _{to put} _the _system _in

floppy context.

PUTSFX _ufn.typ

Parameters:

ufn.typ _- name of the

file

containing a system image.

ijescription:

This command _reads _a _system _image _from _the _given

file

and

writes the image _to the system _{tracks of} the hard _disk. See _the

system _generation _section _for _more _details _{on the} _usage _of

this

command.

PUTSYSFX

Parameters: None.

ijescription:

Similar to putsfx,

this

command _{already contains} _the _system

image, _so _doesn't have _to read

it

from _disk. Typing 'PUTSYSFX'

places the _system image _onto the hard

disk's

system _tracks.

An _alternate _use _for

this

file

is to use

it

with SYSGENFX _to

place the system image _onto a floppy's boot tracks. The command 'SYSGENFX PUTSYSFX.COM'

will

_use

just

_the _system _image _portion _of

(5)

the PUTSYSFX.COM

file

_to _write _the _image _to _the _specified _floppy. See _the _system _{generation section for} _iuore

details

_on _creating

the PUTSYSFX.COM

file

after changes _to the BIOS or ZCPR3.

TIME {O]

Parameters:

o = R

- display Wallclock repeatedly

S

- set the Wallclock

C

- clear the Real Time Clock to zeros

X

- display the Real Time Clock Description:

- TIME is a simple

utility

which demonstrates the use of the

interrupt-driven real time _clock

built

_into the BIOS. There _are

actually two timers available. One _{is called} the Wa1lclock and keeps _{track of} the time _of day. The _{other is}

call

_the _Real _Time

Clock and keeps _{track of} elapsed time _since

it

was

last

cleared.

Both _timers _are _cleared whenever the computer is turned

off

or

cold booted.

When _called _without _any _parameters, _TIME _displays _the

current setting of the _Wallclock. The _'R' parameter

will

cause the _wallclock to be _{displayed repeatedly}

until

_a _key _{is pressed.} The _'S' _parameter _is _used _to _set _the _Wallclock. _The _'C'

parameter _is used to _clear the Real Time Clock and the _'X' parameter _is used _{to display}

it.

The Real Time Clock _might be _used _to _{automatically} _time _the

execution of a _program down _to the _nearest second. The command

line "TIME C;nanie _of program to be _timed;TIMÉ _X"

will

_display _the

time elapsed from the

start

_of _your _program _to when

it's

done.

(6)

SBI80FX System Software Suite

public Domain Software

Very _often, when a _task needs _to be _{performed, but} the _tool or

utility

necessary to perform the task

isn't

_provided, there is

a public domain

utility

which

fits

the

bill.

The following

public domain _software has been found by us to be _useful _in the everyday _operation _of a system with a hard disk and is included

at no extra cost to the _user. However, since

it

is public domain, we

can't

guarantee

its

operation or provide support

if

bugs are found.

FBAD _d:

Parameters:

d:

-

drive containing disk to be _checked. May be a

floppy or hard _disk.

Description:

Find BAD

will

_find _{and mark}

all

the bad _sectors _on a disk,

eitheF floppy or hard. Thé program keeps track of any bad

sectors

it

finds, creates a dummy

file

called [UNUSED].BAD, and

allocates the bad _{sectors to that} dummy

file.

The dummy

file

doesn't contain any information, but since

it

is supposedly using the bad _sectors, _other

files

_are prevented from using them. You may want _to use SFA _to make [UNUSED].BAD a system

file

so

it

doesn't show up in a normal directory and to make

it

a read-only

file

so

it

can't

be _accidentally _erased. (The command _line _is

'SFA [UNUSEDJ.BAD /SYS,R/O'.)

BU

Parameters: None.

Description:

This

utility

will

BackUp the

files

_{on your} hard _disk _drive

to floppy drive. The program prompts _for

all

the _information

it

needs and _{is very} _easy _to _use. (A

printer

_{is required,} _however.)

please _see the documentation

file

_provided _{on the} _{disk for} _more

information on

its

usage. Note _that the _source

file

_{provided is} an .ASM

file

and must be _{converted before} _assembling _with ZAS. MDM740

Parameters: None.

Description:

Mo.D.eM740 _is _a _popular _{communications} _program _used _to

communiCate _with _other _computers _or a modem.

It

has been

customized _to _use the

auxiliary serial

_port _{on your} SBl80 and

allows the SBl80 _to be _used _{in terminal} mode _or _{to transfer}

files

between systems using the XÉ4ODEM _protocol.

It

was customized by

(7)

SB180FX _System _Software _Suite

SBl80-owner Ken Taschner and

full

source is available on the

Circuit Cellar BBS _{(203-871-1988)} _in _the MODEM: _directory _in _the

file

MDM180V2.LBR. The program has

full

_on-line _help and _{is very} easy to _use.

MLOAD

[outfil=]filel[,file2...]

[bias]

Parameters:

outfil

_{- optional} output

file.

filel,

file2,

...

- input

files.

bias — optional bias address.

Descriptiori:

While _not

truly

_public domain, MLOAD _can be

freely

_copied

and

distributed.

MLOAD

will

_{create executable} _code (.COM

file)

from a .HEX

file.

It will

also combine a number of .HEX

files

into one .COM

file,

or overlay a preexisting binary

file

with a

converted .HEX

file.

_Type _'MLOAD' _with _{no parameters} _for _more

details. Note _that the source

file

provided is an .ASM

file

and must be _{converted before} _assembling _with _zas.

(8)

System _Files

The _remaining _sections assume a working knowledge of

assembly language and systems programming. Begiriners should

consult a good reference _{on assembly} language programming before

attempting any of the procedures outlined here. BIOS

The BIOS _is the _interface _of the Z-System (combined ZCPR3 _and ZRDOS) _to _the _hardware _{environment of} the SB180FX. The BIOS

supports six 5.25" diskette formats:

SBl80

l

_{(double-sided,} double-density, 48

tpi)

SBl80 2 _{(double-sided,} _{double-density,} 96

tpi)

Hitachi QC-lO (double-sided, double-density, 48

tpi)

Kaypro

II

(single-sided, double-density, 48

tpi)

Osborne

I

_{(single-sided,} _{double-density,} 48

tpi)

Ampro (single-sided, double-density, 48

tpi)

The _BIOS _{also supports three} _8" _{disk formats:}

IBM _{single-sided,} _{single-density} (CP/M _standard) CCS/Compupro _{single-sided,} _{double-density} (8*1024) CCS/Compupro _{double-sided,} _{double-density} (15*512)

Disks _with _either SB180 _format _can _{be used} _as _system _disks.

Disks _with the _{other formats} may be used freely in drives other

than A, the system _drive. Format selection is automatic when

logging in the _drive.

The _{BIOS implements} _the _otherwise _unused _remainder _of RAM _as _two

disk emulators. One _(drive M:

)

is l92k bytes large and the _other

(drive N:

)

uses the rest of the _installed _memory.

(If

_{there is}

only 256k

installed,

_drive N: _{is disabled.)} _These _"disks" may be

used _as _{high-speed scratch disks for} _any _general _purpose. The

utilities

MDSKFX _and NDSKFX

initialize

_the _"disks" _by _clearing

their

directories

to OE5H. Warm _boot _operations do _not _affect the _{contents of} _memory.

An _{interrupt-driven} _{timer is} _implemented _as _a _real-time _clock. The _{timer maintains} _ten _{contiguous bytes in}

memory as follows: Real Time _{(four bytes)} _as _Tenths, Seconds, and Hotírs; _Wallclock

(three bytes) as Seconds, Minutes, and Hours; _{General-purpose} Timer (two _bytes) a sixteen-bit down-counter which _can be _set by the _user _to _any value and then checked _for _zero. The GPT

decrements _every lOó _{milliseconds.} The

last

_{byte is} the _drive

(9)

SB180FX _System Software _Suite

motor _timer and _is not _normally accessed by the _user. The _user

obtains a pointer to the timer string in HI, by a

call

_to

BIOS+36H. The ten bytes _are _allocated _in _{memory as} _follows:

REALTIME:

,- DSDS

I

; TENTHS (lOó MILLISECONDS)

l

; SECONDS

DS

l

; MINUTES

DS

l

; HOURS

WALLCLOCK: DS

l

; SECONDS

DS

l

; MINUTES

DS

l

; HOURS

GPTIMER:

DS 2 _; _{lOó MILLISECOND} DOWN COUNTER MOTIME:

DS

l

; MOTOR ON TIME (SECONDS)

Thé _user _should _take _care _{to disable} _interrupts _before _making

multiple byte _accesses _{to the timer string} _{so as} _{not to} have the bytes change due _to an intervening interrupt.

ZCPR3.Z80

This _is the _source code _of the ZCPR3 command

processor.

It

has

been _modified

slightly

_{to allow:} _I) assembly _with a relocating

assembler and 2) _creation _of a binary

file

exactly 80Oh bytes

long to _permit

linking

_{with other} system modules (ZCPR3 _and ZRDOS). No _further _changes _need be made _to _this

file.

ZCPR3

configuration options are chosen Erorn Z3HDR.LIB and _requires the presence of Z3BASE.LIB _during assembly.

Z3HDR.LIB

Z3HDR.LIB _is the _{configuration}

library

_for ZCPR3. _Editing

this

library

allows customization of ZCPR3 _to _the _system _programmer's

specific tastes.

Z3BASE.LIB

Z3BASE.LIB _is a set of system equates which define the

availability

and the _addresses, _as _well _{as the} _length, _{of various}

ZCPR3 _system _segments _and _buffer _areas. This

file

_is _required

for the assembly _of ZCPR3 _and _the _system _segments.

If

Z3BASE.LIB equate addresses _are changed, ZCPR3 _{and the} _system _segments _must be _reassembled _and _the _entire _system _regenerated.

(10)

SB180FX System Sofj: ware Suite

PORTS.LIB

This

library

of equates _defines addresses _of various internal

ports of the HD64180 as well as addresses of the floppy disk

controller

and the

parallel printer

_port.

It

_{is included in} the

assembly _of

all

system

utility

programs. NCRIO.LIB

This

library

of equates defines addresses _of the NCR53C80 _ports

as well as numerous mask bytes used for checking individual

bits

within the _chip's _registers.

BOOT

The boot _{loader resides in sector} one of track zero and is read

into memory at 800Oh _{by the} _monitor ROM _and _control _passed _to

it.

The boot _loader

will

then read the _{rest of track} O _and

all

of track

l

into high memory and transfer control to the _cold boot

entry of the BIOS. The boot _loader

will

read both 48

tpi

_and 96

tpi

SBl80 system _disks.

MOVZ

MOVZ _is _the _{basis of} _the MOVZSYS _program.

It

is used _with

MKZSYS.ZEX _to _create _a _new MOVZSYS.COM when _changes _have _been made _to ZCPR3 _or _to _the _BIOS.

MKZSYS.ZEX

After changing and _reassembling _any _of the system modules, _this batch

file

may be used with ZCPR3 ZEX.COM _{to create} _a _new _version

of MOVZSYS.COM. _Examination _of _this

file

will

tell

the programmer which

files

are needed for MOVZSYS _{regeneration.} Command

line:

ZEX _MKZSYS<cr>.

GENHEX.COM

This

utility

is used _{to create} _an _interim .HEX

file

with a

specified load _point.

It

_is used _{in conjunction} _with GENSPR.COM

to create a relocatable system module _for _inclusion _in

MOVZSYS.COM.

GENSPR.COM

This

utility

is used _{to create} _an .SPR _relocatable _system _module

from two .HEX

files

_{created with} _genhex.

(11)

INIT

The BIOS implements the z-System Input/Output package _(lOP). INIT.Z80 _represents a 'dummy' lOP which _is used to _create

INIT.IOP. The package may be loaded with ZCPR3 LDR.COM _to

effectively

remove a previously loaded lOP. INIT.Z80 may also be

used _{as the} _{basis of} a custom lOP _written _{by the} _user. _(Several

preconfigured lOPs are available, ready _{to run,} from Echelon.)

Programming Notes

The SBI80FX system _software package _{is written} _in _{Zilog/Hitachi} Assembly Language and assembled, _linked, and loaded _with Echelon

ZAS _and _ZLINK. _In _general,

all

_programs _{and system} _segments _are

written without ORG _statements _defining _their _beginning. _They

are assembled as code relative segments _{(the default} condition of

ZAS) _with

starting

_address OOOOh. The

linker,

_ZLINK, _is _then

used to _create the _{desired object}

file.

The .REL

files

_{created with} ZAS _are _easily _relocated _by

ZLINK _to run at any location. Study the ZAS _manual _{supplied for}

further

details

of assembler and _linker _usage.

(12)

System _Generation

With

ali

_of the _compile-time _{options available} _in ZCPR3, _the

user way not be happy _with the way his system was _set up by

Micromint. To _modify _any _of _these _options, however, _requires the user to change _{one or} _more

files,

reassemble the _modified

portions, and _regenerate the _operating system. While _not

difficult,

there are certain

files

which must be present and steps must be done _in a certain order. The process of modification and _regeneration

will

be _described _here. _Further

details

may be obtained from the book ZCPR3: The Manual.

l.

System regeneration is required only when _{modifications}

are made to the BIOS _{or to} ZCPR3. _Files such _as FVCFX.Z80 or SYSRCP.Z80

aren't

_integrated _into the system, so may be _changed

independently. To _{be reassembled,} _BIOS.Z80 needs the

library

files

PORTS.LIB, Z3BASE.LIB, SYSENV.LIB, and NCRIO.LIB.

ZCPR3.Z80 needs Z3BASE.LIB and Z3HDR.LIB. You should _never have

to make _changes _to _the _ZCPR3.Z80

file

directly

since

all

the _user

selectable options are contained in the Z3HDR.LIB

file.

2. Copy

all

the

files

_you

will

need _to a fresh disk. This

should _include _source

files,

_associated

library files,

_your _text

editor,

and a _copy of ZAS. (MOSt _of _these _are _already _on _disk 5

of the SBl80-30 _software.)

3. Make _your _changes _to _the _source _(or

library)

files.

Assemble them _with ZAS _{to create} _.REL

files

_(either _BIOS.REL,

ZCPR3.REL, _or _both).

4. ZDMH _must _be _configured _before

it

can be used in the

generation process. Run ZDMH _and

tell

it

how _wide _your _screen _is

as well as how many lines

it

has. Be _careful,

it

expects these

values in hexadecimal. A new

file,

called ZDIFI.COM, is then

created and the _program _stops. Rename _this

file

to ZDM.COM _so

it

can be used

later.

5. Now

it's

time _to generate a new system. Simply type 'ZEX FIKZSYS'. _{This batch}

file

_links _together a new _system and _creates

the

file

MOVZSYS.COM. _Next, _type 'MOVZSYS _53' _{to actually} _create

the system image _in a

file

called ZSYSTEM.MDL. To _place the new

system _on the _boot _{tracks of} a floppy disk, _put a _copy _of SYSGENFX.COM _on

this

_disk, _type 'SYSGENFX _{ZSYSTEM.MDL',} _and

follow the _instructions _that _appear _{on the} _screen. To _put a _copy

of the _{new system} _on the system _{tracks of} the hard _disk, _put a

copy of PUTSFX.COM _on _{this disk} _and _type _'PUTSFX _{ZSYSTEM.MDL'.}

Boot the new floppy _{and you are} _running _your _new _system.

6.

It

_{is possible} _{to create} a new PUTSYSFX.COM

file

so the zsystem.mdl

fije

isn't

needed _{to put} a system image _onto the hard

disk's system _tracks. The command:

MLOAD PUTSYSFX.COM=ZSYSTEM.MDL,PUTSFX.HEX

will

create the _new

file.

This document _{contains helpful} hints and _suggestions

for

using the Z-System operating system _software more

effectively

with the SB180, SB18OFX, and BCC180/60 computers. When _a

para-graph _{deals with only} one _or two _{of the} computers, _the computers

to which

it

applies are

listed

at the end _{of the paragraph.}

Utilities

specific to the SB18OFX _often _have "FX" appended _{to the} end _{of the}

name. When such

utilities

_{are referenced in}

this

document, _the "FX"

is

_{placed in parentheses to} show

that

_the

is

_{being discussed.}

For example, _{the configuration}

utility

is

SB18C) _{and BCC180/60} _computers, _but

is

_called "CONFIGFX" _on _the

sb18ofx. The

being used _on _{the terminal,} _open _{the door} _on _drive A:

,

press reset, and _{press Return} _on _{the terminal} _{to enter the monitor.} Doing _so

will tell

_{the monitor} what baud _{rate you're actually}

using. Put _{a copy} _{of the boot disk in drive} A: and _{type "Z"}

Return to boot the disk.

It

will

boot up at whatever baud rate you used to enter the monitor. To make _the baud _{rate the} _new

default, _run CONFIG(FX) and _type "M" _{to get the parameters} from memory, "N"

for

_{no more} changes, "D" _to _save _{to disk,} _{and·"A" to} save

it

to the A: _drive. Be _{sure you're saving the} changes _to a

copy of the system master and not the

original.

(SB18OFX and BCC180/60 _only)

3) To _configure a 96-tpi _{(or 3'f') disk} _so

it

can be _booted, hook _up a 48-tpi 5'í" drive in position _A: and a 96-tpi _{(or 3'í")}

drive in position B:

.

Boot _the system and _type "FVC(FX)" _Return. Press _"F", _"2", _"B", and _{Return to format} a disk

in

B:

.

When

that's

done, _press "Q" _to

exit

FVC(FX). Now _type _"SYSGEN(FX)"

Return. Answer "A" _Return

for

_source _drive and "B" _Return

for

destination drive. Press _{Return again to leave} SYSGEN(FX). Use

MCOPY, _AC, _or _VFILER _to _copy _any

files

_you _want _from _drive _A: _to

B:

.

Power down _the system and _reconfigure

it

_so _{the 96-tpi} _(or 3'á") _drive

is

_{in position} _A:

.

The system _{may now be booted} _using

the disk

just

created.

4)

If

_there

is

a

printer

plugged _{into the} system, be _{sure the} power to the

printer is

turned on before booting the system.

If

the

printer is off

when _the computer

is

_turned _on, _the system may

hang and _{refuse to boot}

until

_the

printer is either

_unplugged from _the computer _{or turned} _on. (SB180 and SB18OFX _only)

(15)

5) As distributed, the system has _the CMDRUN

facility

_turned

on. (For more information about the CMDRUN

facility,

_see _the

book ZCPR3: _{The Manual.)} _{As a}

result,

if

the

file

CMDRUN.COM

is

located along the search _path, _any _{error handler which} has been

previously

installed

won't be _invoked when a bad command

is

typed. In order to use any of the error handlers (e.g.,

ERROR1.COM, VERROR.COM), _simply _remove CMDRUN.COM _from _{the path.}

6)

If

_you _{plan to} mount _your board _in _an _enclosure, be _sure

to use nylon or

plastic

washers between _any _metal hardware and

the

circuit

board. Any _{metal allowed to touch the} board _may

cause a short

circuit

and prevent the board from operating

prop-erly.

7) As _provided, _the system _uses a floppy disk drive head _step

rate of 10 milliseconds. A _faster _{step rate} may be used with

most _{drives to increase the overall} disk access rate (and often

quiets down _the

drive).

Check _your

drive's

manual _{to determine}

if

a faster step rate can be used. For example, _the Teac FD-55B

drives can use a 6-ins _{step rate.} Run CONFIG(FX) _to make

this

change.

8) The system has _also been _optimized

for

_{drives without} head

load solenoids.

If

_{your drive} does have a head load solenoid,

you

will

have _to use CONFIG(FX) to change the head load parameter

to match _{your disk drives.} Many drives with head _{load solenoids}

require at least 36 ms, but check _your

drive's

manual.

If

_you're

not sure whether _{your drive} has a head load sQlenoid, don't

change

this

_{value unless} you experience frequent read _errors.

If

you do _{get errors,}

try

changing _{the value to} 36 ms and see

if it

makes a difference.

9) Whenever _the FDC9266 _selects 8" operation, the

chip's

ove-rall

clock frequency

is

doubled. As a

result,

_any time-dependent

parameters _{(step rate} and head _{load time) are divided} by two when 8" _{drives are selected.} Be _aware _that _when CONFIGFX _shows a step

rate of 6 _ms, _the _system _uses 6 ms _{on any} 5'í" drives connected,

but uses 3 ins when

referring

to _any 8" drives. (SB18OFX only)

Creatinq a work Disk

Users new to Z-System _{are often} overwhelmed by the volume of

tools and

utilities

found _on _the

distribution

disks. They want

to condense _{the information} down _to a manageable form by putting

together a work disk containing the most useful

tools,

but since

everything

is

so new, they don't know where to begin.

In his document _{"what's the} word _on _the Z-System?", _Richard conn makes some suggestions concerning what _should be on such a

work disk and _{gives several} examples. The _following sample

directories

are adapted from Rick's suggestions and may be used

as a guideline

until

a working knowledge of Z-System can be

obtained. Keep _in mind, _{though, that these are}

just

_suggestions. You may

find

that some of the

files listed

_{are useless to} you, where _{others that} have been _excluded may actually be

indispens-able.

ERRATA

The _following _{replaces sections} 2.14 and 2.14.1 oí the SB180FX manual.

2.14 Using a Hard Disk with the SCSI Interface

The SBI8"OFX _has a general-purpose SCSI interface. Most

users

will

use the interface to attach a hard disk, so the BIOS assumes that

if

the SCSI _interface is present (the NCR _53C80

is

installed),

a hard disk is attached. The BIOS requires either a

Xebec 1410 _or an Maptec ACEI4000 hard disk controller be used

with any ST506 _drive _{up 32} 6'13

in size and an appropriate power

supply and _case. There _is _also a pre-conEiCurea selection

designed _for a IQ Megabyte Xebec Owl hard disk

drive.

The

installation

instructions assume that you have successfully

booted _{up the} SBI80FX _as a floppy disk based system

first.

2.14.1

Installation

I.

Connect a 50—pin cable between _your hard disk

controller

board aná the S13180FX'S 50—pin _connector

jl.

pay careful attention to the _pin

l

markings on the cable and connectors.

2. On _both _the Xebec 141OA and the Xebec Owl, _there

is

a

three-pin jumper header _labeled _{'SS' with} the _option OF _placing

the jumper _{next to} a

'2'

_or a

'5'.

The sector size ('SS') that

the _{BIOS uses} _is 512 _bytes, so the jumper should be placed next to the

'5'

_(512-byte _sectors) _{instead of} the

'2'

_(256-byte

sectors).

3. The BIOS _{expects the} hará _{disk controller} board _to be _set up for a _target _ID of zero. Consult _your controller board's

manual _{to find out} how _to jumper the board flor _{an ID} _{of zero.} 4. Boot up the system normally with a _copy of the system

disk.

If

there is no response when power is applied, turn the power

off

and recheck the orientation and seating of the connector _cables.

5. The _{next step is to}

initialize

the hard _disk. _{place the}

"Utilities"

áisk in drive B: and _{type 'B0:;HDINITFX'.} The _default

configuration followed by a _menu of commands

will

be _displayed.

To _use _the _{configuration} _that _{is displayed,} _simply _choose _to

format the _{disk (option 2).}

If

a

different

configuration

is

desired, select option

I.

The program

will

prompt you for

all

the _information

it

needs.

If

_you _are _unsure _of what _to answer

for a particular question,

just

_press RETURN _and _the _default

value _in parentheses

will

be used. you may -have to consult the

manual _that came with your hard disk drive _{to find} _answers for

all

of the _questions. When _you _are _satisfied _with _the

(21)

2)-6. Now

verify

_the _disk _{{option 3).} _{The pro¢ram}

will

display

the _cylinder

it

_{is verifying} and

will

_display _any bad _sectors found _{on the} _disk.

If

the _disk checks _out OK, _{go on} _to _the

next step.

If

there is an

error, try

the

verify

again. Iii the error

persists, format and

verify

the _drive _again.

If

_the _error

continues _{to occur,} _press ESC _to _leave _the _program _and _use _the FEIAD

utility

to find and tag the bad _sectors. Be _sure _to _run

FBAD _for _each

logical

_drive _{that is defined.} _For _example,

if

you

selected two

partitions,

the hard _disk woulá be _formatted _{as two}

logical

drives, E: and F:

.

You would therefore issue 'FEIAD _E:

'

followed by 'FBAD _F:

'

to check the whole _disk. See _the

description of the FBAD

utility

_for _more

details.

7. You should _{now hzve} an error-free formatted hará disk.

This step

will

place the _operating system image _onto the hard

disk's

system _tracks. _This system image _is used whenever the

computer does a warm boot during normal operation. Type 'PUTSYSFX' _{and answer} _{'Y' to} the _question. The hard _{disk is} now

completely functional.

8. You may _now _{operate your} system

in.either

_of two _disk

contexts.

If

you prefer floppy disks as your regular working inedia, the system defaults to

this

node. Known _{as the} _floppy

context, the _floppies remain _drives A: _throucjí D: and the hard Clisk _is accessed _as _drives E: _{through ii:}

.

It

is recommended _that _you _run the _program _to chancce the ccisk _{context with} the

'ir

_option aná _operate unáer the hará _disk

context." The command 'CDC _E' _swaps _drive _assignments _between _the

hard _disk and the _floppies. The _floppies _are _now mappeá _to

drives E: _through H: and the hard _disk

is

mapped _{to drives} A:

through D:

.

(Ttte _{highest drive}

letter

_allowable _is dependent _on the number _{of floppies} _you have and the number _of

partitions

SB180/S1318OFX _Packaged System

Start-up Instructiorís

This system

is

equipped _with a Seagate ST138N hard disk

drive, which _is a 3.5", 30-megabyte drive with a

built-in

SCSI

interface. While the software in the stanáard SB180-20 _or

SB180-30 package _{supports certain} SCSI drives, the ST138N

is

_not one that

is

supported. However, a replacenent BIOS, called

XBIOS, marketed by Xsystems _Software

for

the SB180/SB18OFX does

support the ST138N drive. As a

result,

we have provided _you with a complimentary _copy of XBIOS (with DateStamper)

for

use on _your system.

Since _{XBIOS can be}

difficult

_to

install for

_{the inexperienced}

user (and _often

for

_{the experienced user!),} we have also provided a _{boot disk which} has been customized

for

_your system. The hard

disk drive has _already been _formatted and checked, _so

all

_that should be

left

for

_you _to do _is connect a terminal,

insert

the

boot disk, power up the system, and

start

using your computer. The _following _sections

detail

which _portions _{of the} XBIOS nanual are important

for

_{your setup, special} considerations that

ust be _{kept in} mind _{while using} XBIOS, and how we configured

,our system _should _you need _{to reconfigure} any portion of

it

in

the future.

Gettinq Started

As níentioned above,

all

_that _{you have} _to do _{to get your} sys-tem up and running

is

connect a

serial

terminal to the terminal

connector on the back of the system, insert the customized boot disk in drive A, and power the system up.

Before you continue any

further,

however, _you _{should review}

certain sections of the XBIOS _manual _to _become

familiar

_with _some

of the differences between a system that _uses XBIOS and one that uses our regular software.

Chapter 1

lists

several

utilities

that are found on the

SBl80-20 and SB180-3C) _{disks that should} be _avoided. CONFIG

(CONFIGFX), FVC _(FVCFX), IYÍDSK _(MDSKFX), _TIFIE, _and SYSGEN (SYS-GENFX) _are

all

found on disk

i

of the SBl80-20 (SB180-30)

soft-ware and _should be _{replaced with}

their

_counterparts from _the

XBIOS

áistribution

_disk _(as _{described in} _Chapter

I).

CDC _and

HDINIT may be _found _on _the COMM180 _disk

if

you have an SBl80 sys-tem.

If

_you have _an SB18OFX _system, CDC _is _on _disk

i

of the

SR180-30 _software and HDINITFX

is

on disk e. cdc

is

_not needed,

i HDINIT (HDINITFX) _should be _replaced by EDIAS from _the XBIOS

(23)

The _{only other} piece _{of software that}

will

_not work _with

XBIOS _is _UniForm _íroni _{!¢icroSolutions.} _Those _users who _need _the

ability

to read and write IBM PC _{íorníat disks} _can _instead _use _a

utility

called DosDisk, _available from _Plu*Perfect Systems, 410 23rd

St.,

Santa Yonica, CP. _90GC)2.

Be _{sure to} _read _the _{rest of} _Chapter

I

for an overview of

Xj3íOS _and _{the rest of} _the _manual.

Chapter 2 _should _{be revie"weci}

just

_to _become

familiar

_with _the

various

files

on the XblOS

distribution

disk.

All

sections dealing with

installing

XBIOS _{can be iqnorecí} _at

this

_tine _since

it

has _already been Clone _for _you.

each _of the

utilities

and how _they are

used, and _should be _thoroughly reviewed.

Chapter 4 _and _the _remainder _{of the} _manual _can _{be skipped} _at

this

time, but

will

be necessary should you _ever want _to inake changes _{in the configuration} oZ _the _system _or
