*** CDTV USERS Special Note ***
The Hypermedia Concepts Fred Fish Collection on CDROM V1.5 includes
the ParNET Files pre-installed. This makes it very simple for an Amiga
user to connect to the CDTV and use it as an intelligent CDROM drive.
**** Quick Setup Instructions ****
To establish a connection between the CDTV and an Amiga with a hard disk
follow the steps below:
1. TURN THE POWER OFF on BOTH MACHINES, then connect the special
ParNET Cable between the 2 parallel ports.
2. Insert the Fred Fish CDROM into a caddy and then into the CDTV.
3. Power up both machines and allow them to boot normally.
4. Insert the PARBench disk into the Amiga.
5. Doubleclick the 'ParNET.Install' icon.
6. When the script is finished, remove the PARBench disk.
7. Open the Workbench partition on the Amiga and then open the ParNET drawer.
8. Double click the CDTV.Connect icon.
9. Use the remote on the CDTV to open the Fred Fish Collection icon.
10.Double click the PARNET_SWITCH icon.
The two machines should negotiate a connection and the network icon should
appear on the Workbench screen of the Amiga. Inside of this icon will be the
the RAM DISK icon as well an icon (shaped like a fish tank) for the CD.
******* Activating CDTV NETKEYS ********
If you don't have a keyboard or mouse for your CDTV or if you just don't have
the room or inclination to clutter your desk with 2 keyboards and/or mice, then
NETKEYs is for you! There are only 2 steps to making your Amiga's keyboard and
mouse operate your CDTV:
1. Open the RAM DISK icon on the CDTV, then locate and double-click
the "CDTV.NetKeys" Icon.
2. Open the ParNET Drawer on your Amiga Workbench and double-click
the "Run.NetKeys" Icon.
Now to swap your keyboard/mouse between the Amiga & CDTV hold the left Amiga
key and then press the letter"P". That's all there is to it! (Lots easier to
mouse around this way than to futz with that IR Controller eh?)
For more complete details read the "ParBENCH.DOC" on the ParBENCH
distribution diskette.
* NEVER CONNECT A NON-MODIFIED PARALLEL CABLE BETWEEN AMIGA COMPUTERS
OR CDTV UNITS! See the Cable Documentation on how to build your own.
Connecting a non-modified cable WILL DESTROY COMPONENTS IN ONE OR BOTH
MACHINES!
