- 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.
-
