SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
You have been supplied with all needed software to bring your hard disk up and use it, assuming you
have the proper operating system you wish to use. You will have received the proper disk format
for your distribution media, depending on the system you specified when placing your order. For
any supplied format, all files will be present on all disk formats distributed. As development
continues on this project, some of this software may be revised and updated. In that event, if
you have filled in your software registration cards and returned them, you will receive a free
software update along with the necessary documentation changes automatically within a years’
time for any major problems discovered. After that, you will have to pay a modest charge for any
updates.
HDOS SOFTWARE
The HDOS software supplied consists of three files: DKSASXV3.DVD is the actual hard disk device
driver; DVDDKGEN.ABS is the utility for specifying the maximum number of HDOS partitions; and
SASIXUxx.ABS (where xx = 15 or 33) is an HDOS partition utility, which is identical to its CP/M
counterpart - except it is used under HDOS.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the HDOS utilities and commands required to carry out
the needed steps. If not, please review and/or study your HDOS manual to become familiar at
the very minimum with the following commands and utilities:
INIT SYSGEN SET
FLAGS PIP MOUNT
DISMOUNT RENAME
PREPARATION OF SYSTEM DISK
There are several ways you can INIT and SYSGEN your QUIKSTOR Winchester drive under HDOS.
The below procedure is one way. You may follow this, or use another method if you are confident
you know what you are doing. If you are not familiar with HDOS its utilities and operations,
you would be wise to follow this presented procedure.
