Page 4-3Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 040 EAGLE 100/AM-3000M/VME Upgrade
If you intend you use your existing SASI/SCSI-1 hard drive as the main boot drive, you
must first make sure your AMOS Operating System is version PR5/95 or later
and
has
been overlaid with the current AM-987 software support 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: SCZDSP SIMRR.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-185/185-50 SASI port as the system boot drive:
A.All you need do is MONGEN the new SCZDVR.DVR SASI type 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 FIXLOG 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.
4.2AM-3000 VME HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The following sections describe the steps required to perform the actual Roadrunner
upgrade hardware installation. Once again you should review each section and be
familiar with the requirements prior to disassembling your working system.
At this point you might want to double check your Roadrunner upgrade kit and ensure
you have all PC boards, cables, and mounting hardware required to complete the
upgrade installation.
If you did not order a SCSI disk drive that was pre-loaded with a Roadrunner compatible
AMOS operating system, you need to update the software on your existing drive. The
software download and configuration procedure, located in Appendix C, must be
completed before
the Roadrunner hardware is installed in your computer.
