3.3.2 CoreModule/PC Utilities Overview
The following programs are contained on the CoreModule/PC Utilities Diskette. (Actual utility
names and descriptions may change, in which case appropriate "DOC" files are included on the
utilities diskette to explain the changes.) Each of these programs is described in Appendix A of this
manual. Note that use of the SCSI utilities requires the addition of a MiniModule/FSS (or
equivalent).
n SCSICOMP - A SCSI utility that lets you compare the contents of two direct access SCSI
devices (such as hard disks).
n SCSICOPY - A SCSI copy utility that allows you to copy blocks of data between two direct
access SCSI devices (such as hard disks).
n SCSIFMT - A SCSI hard disk formatter.
n SCSI-ID - Reports the system's SCSI initiator ID.
n SCSI-VER - Returns the Ampro SCSI/BIOS version number.
n SERLOAD -- A serial loader utility allowing a host system to download executable code to the
CoreModule/PC prior to system boot.
n SETUP -- Used to access the Configuration Memory SETUP function from the DOS command
line during system operation.
n WATCHDOG -- Used to stop, start or retrigger the watchdog timer function, and to set the
time out period (1 to 255 seconds).
n XTCLK -- Used to copy the current time and date from the battery-backed real time clock to the
DOS real time clock.
Note
Several of the programs found on the CoreModule/PC utilities
disk are for use with a SCSI (Small Computer Systems
Interface) port for hard disk drives and other devices. You
must add the MiniModule/FSS to the CoreModule/PC to
provide the SCSI interface hardware. The SCSI utilities
provided on the utilities diskette are discussed in Appendix A
and in the MiniModule/FSS Technical Manual.
