- *** 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!
