Installing The TOPS/DOS 2.1 Network On Your Computer
====================================================
The assumption is made that you have read the All Chargecard
Manual thoroughly and that you have read the file on General
Networks on this disk. Please remember that every system
configuration is different, so don't follow everything blindly !
This installation procedure might differ depending on the option
roms resident in your computer. The installation procedure
described below is valid only when your computer has video
adapters option roms. Listed Below are tables that have been
verified by The All Computers Software Engineers. This is for the
TOPS FlashCarrd.
Note :
A. If a module can be loaded in Reserved Memory then it
can also be loaded in Conventional Memory.
B. To load Terminate And Stay Resident Programs high
you use "alload".
C. To load Device Drivers high you use "device".

Loading all your network modules into reserved memory depends on the
type of video card(s) you have installed.
+---------+--------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| Adapter | Video Buffer | Option Roms And | Option Roms And |
| Type | Located At | Size For PC/AT | Size For PS/2 |
+---------+--------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| | | | |
| CGA | B800-BFFF | None | Not Applicable |
| | | | |
| VGA | A000-AFFF | C000-C3FF (16k) Or | E000-E3FF (16k) Or |
| | B800-BFFF | C000-C7FF (32k) | E000-E7FF (32k) |
| | | | |
| EGA | A000-AFFF | C000-C3FF (16k) Or | E000-E3FF (16k) Or |

The following is true for all video modes.
a. When Installing "allemm4" use the following parameters :
a1. RAM.
a2. FRAME=NONE.
Note: It can be possible to have a PAGE FRAME at DC00 if and
only if the following are true.
1. The Video Buffer BC00-BFFF is not used by any
application hence you can include this area by
adding the parameter INCLUDE=BC00-BFFF. This area
is used for alternate Video pages.
2. Your Computer does not use the BIOS area F000-F7FF.
This is not possible on a PS/2. There is no hard
and fast rule about the use of this BIOS area, so
you will have to experiment with your computer. Use
the parameter INCLUDE=F000-F7FF.
3. If it is possible to do both of the above on your
computer then you can include the parameter
FRAME=DC00, to give you a 64k page frame.
b. The TOPS print spooler "topsprtr" is a special case. There
will be no need for every server to have a print spooler,
however on the server that has a print spooler, and you are
loading "topsprtr" high, there will be no space to install a
PAGE FRAME. The above (a) holds without the FRAME at DC00.
