Hello NodeOps,
Here is the release of TheNet Plus version 2.08, as compiled by NJ7P.
We are providing all the necessary tools required to get your TheNet Plus node
up and running with a minimum of fuss.
PKZIP is being used as a means for compressing the files as well as keeping
the pertinent information together. These files are automatically UNZIPPED
when you type, from the DOS prompt: "TNP208". The following files will be
unzipped:
TN208.ROM
TN208B.ROM
TN208.DOC
SET208.EXE
SET208.DOC
TN208.ROM is the actual ROM image. It will be necessary to invoke SET208.EXE
which is a special utility designed for version 2.08 with which to "set" your
callsign, SSID, alias and password or any default parameter changes prior to
programming the code into a 27C256 EPROM node chip. The SET208 utility will
output these changes into either a binary or a hex format file, whichever you
prefer. This file is then programmed into the chip by your EPROM programmer.
Programming procedures of course will vary with the type of programmer you have
available. Therefore, it will be necessary for you to follow the documentation
that comes with your programmer. Following programming, the 27C256 is then
ready to be inserted into your node TNC as indicated in the instructions given
in the TN206.DOC file.
TN206.DOC and TN208.DOC are in flat ASCII without any embedded word processor
control characters. The earlier TN206.DOC is recommended for reference since
it contains most of the preliminary information you will need for node set-up
and operation. It is suggested these files be printed for ready reference.
-=73=- es happy noding!
