Installing and Configuring Enhanced OS-9
Installing OS-9 on the Windows Host
Computer
Microware’s Enhanced OS-9 for the X86 must be installed on your
Windows 95/98 or NT computer, prior to running OS-9 on your target
machine. Insert the OS-9 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive and select
the installation option from the autorun menu. Follow the on-line
instructions to complete the install.
The installation creates an “Enhanced OS-9 for X86” program folder
and includes full documentation, Microware’s Hawk development
environment, Microware’s Configuration Wizard and the OS-9 for X86
binary images.
The package may be removed by selecting “Uninstall OS-9 for X86”
from the program menu.
Hardware Setup
Memory
OS-9 will run with as little as 2 MB of RAM, however, it may be more
convenient to install additional memory when developing and testing
graphic intensive applications.
Disk Drives
While OS-9 can be configured as a ROM or flash based system, these
instructions assume that a floppy drive and IDE hard disk will be used
for initial development and testing.
Monitor
A monitor may be connected to the target system for graphics
applications and to aid in the initial OS-9 configuration.
