Page 3-3Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 040 EAGLE 100/AM-3000M/VME Upgrade
Upgrading a Standard AM-3000M System -- continued
If you intend to use your existing SASI/SCSI-1 hard drive as the main boot drive
, make
sure your AMOS Operating System is version PR5/95 or later
and
has been overlaid
with the current AM-987 software package! Use the following steps as a guide:
1.If your existing drive is SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 and you’re going to connect it to
the Roadrunner’s SCSI port as the system boot drive:
A. MONGEN the SCZRR.DVR into the new boot monitor.
B. VUE your boot INI and add the simple SCSI Dispatcher after the
TRMDEF statements. Add the line: SCZDSPSIMRR.SYS to enable
the dispatcher during bootup. (You can PIC code the enhanced
Roadrunner Dispatcher SCZRR.SYS, and add the write-buffering
disk driver later).
C.Power-down the system and install the Roadrunner hardware.
2.If your existing boot drive is a SASI/SCSI-1 type and it’s going to remain
connected to the AM-140 SASI port as the system boot drive:
A.All you need do is MONGEN the SCZDVR.DVRSASI port driver into
the new boot monitor.
B.Power-down the system and install the Roadrunner hardware.
C.If you later add a new SCSI drive to the Roadrunner SCSI port you
must create a sub-system disk driver using the FIXLOG program and
SCZRR.DVR. After adding the new device to your boot INI and
rebooting the system, you can access the new SCSI hard drive on
the Roadrunner’s SCSI port as a sub-system drive.
3.1.4Upgrading an AM-540 Modified AM-3000M System
If you are installing a new pre-configured
Roadrunner bootable
SCSI drive with the
Roadrunner hardware upgrade, you can simply change the drive I.D. on you old SCSI
drive to something higher than zero (usually I.D.1) and attach it, and the rest of your
SCSI peripherals, to the new Roadrunner SCSI port
along with the new boot drive.
1.To access your original drive when attached to the Roadrunner’s SCSI
port (as an additional drive), you must use the FIXLOG program and
SCZRR.DVRto create a sub-system type driver for your original drive.
2.After enabling the sub-system drive in the new boot INI (under the
DEVTBL, BITMAP, and SYSTEM statements) and rebooting the system,
you’ll be able to access your original hard drive using the newly created
sub-system device driver.
