INSTALLATION
Installation of QSBIOS is very simple, but does require that the user be familiar with the CP/M operating
system and its utilities, and that all directions be followed EXACTLY. Decide if you are using CP/M 2.2.03 o
2.2.04 and then note this in order that the proper files are used. ALL CP/M files MUST be copied from your
CP/M 2.2.03 or 2.2.04 distribution disks, and you must not mix files between the two versions! ALL
QSBIOS files MUST be copied from your QSBIOS distribution disk(s). In the following instructions,
when a reference is made to a Heath/Zenith or C P/M utility, refer to the Heath documentation if you are
not ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN how to operate that utility. Neither Livingston Logic nor Quikdata, Inc., CANNOT
and WILL NOT take responsibility for educating the user in how to operate his computer or its
operating system and related programs. The following instructions are VERY easy to follow provided you
have READ and UNDERSTOOD all of the Heath documentation, and you follow these instructions TO THE
LETTER. If you have trouble, refer to the section entitled "IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY" near the end of this
document.
NOTE - QSBIOS may, from time to time, be revised or updated. In order to avoid having to frequently update
this printed documentation, any minor changes or revisions will be documented on the diskette itself.
Before proceeding, check the diskette, for any files having the ".DOC" extension. If such a file is
present (it may not be) please take a few minutes to read it before proceeding with the
installation.
1 - Before proceeding, be sure that you have the following items o n hand:
a - H/Z CP/M 2.2.03 or 2.2.04 Distribution Disks I, II & III
b - QSBIOS Distribution Disks
c - One blank diskette
Also ensure the following conditions are met:
a - Console BAUD rate MUST be 9600
b - CPU clock MUST be 2 MHz
It is assumed that the ENTIRE QSBIOS setup procedure will be carried out using a 2 MHz CPU clock
speed. If this is NOT the case, and you experience problems, DO NOT call for help. Due to the
large number of 4 MHz conversions, BIOS modifications, and other possible incompatible hardware
and software products on the market, Quikdata, Inc., and LLL CANNOT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE
ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING UP A SYSTEM WHICH CONTAINS ANY NONHEATH HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE
PRODUCTS. If you have ANY problems, refer to the "IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY" section near the end of this
document.
