- M8UPD-1.TXT - Update Number 1 for MDM830
-
-
- The following has been brought to my attention by Harry M. Van Tassell:
-
- There is NO NEED for the MDM830 configuration utility as this
- can be done using PIP.
-
- The new precedure to configure MDM830 is now as follows:
-
- Assemble the overlay to MDM830 for your system using ASM86
- and concatenate the resulting .H86 file to MDM8xx.H86 using
- PIP. E.G.:
-
- ASM86 M8GP-1
- PIP MDM.H86=MDM830.H86,M8GP-1.H86
- GENCMD MDM 8080 CODE[MFF0]
-
- similarly
-
- overlaying the Phone Number Overlay can be done
- by :
-
- ASM86 M8NM-30
- PIP MDMNEW.H86=MDM.H86,M8NM-30.H86
- GENCMD MDMNEW 8080 CODE[MFF0]
-
- I have tried this procedure before Harry told me it works and could
- not get it to create a proper CMD file. I found out why too! Here
- it is:
-
- NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A DUAL PROCESSOR SYSTEM SUCH AS COMPUPROS 8/16
- SYSTEM OR THE DEC RAINBOW, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE 16 BIT
- VERSION OF PIP !! WHEN I FIRST EXPERIMENTED I HAD PIP.COM
- ON MY DEFAULT DRIVE AND PIP.CMD WAS NOT THERE... SO I ENDED
- UP WITH A CONCATENATED FILE ALRIGHT BUT THE END OF RECORDS
- RECORD WAS STILL IN THE NEW H86 FILE. SO I GUESS (DOES ANYONE
- KNOW FOR SURE ??) THAT THE 16 BIT VERSION OF PIP TAKES H86
- FILES AND TREATS THEM SPECIAL BY REMOVING THE LAST RECORD
- IN THE FIRST FILE !?!
