Entering the AMOS PIC (AMOS 2.x Only!)
The AMOS 2.x monitor is PIC-encoded. The default monitor is configured for one user, and the PIC is
tailored to the number of users you purchased.
At this point you are running under your new monitor, which is operating in single-user mode. To switch
over to multi-user mode, you must run the OSINST program and enter the correct PIC code. Type:
LOG SYS:
RETURN
OSINST
RETURN
Enter the Product Installation Code (PIC) for the currently installed SSD chip. Once you confirm the PIC
is correct, press
RETURN
. When you reboot the computer, it will come up in multi-user mode.
Making a Warm Boot Tape
Unless you have some other way of accessing your bootable drive, it would be a very good idea to make
a warm boot tape before continuing with this procedure. After you generate the warm boot tape,
make
sure you test it
. Once you know the tape works, you will able to access your hard disk drive, should a
problem arise.
MAKING YOUR SOFTWARE EAGLE COMPATIBLE
The steps outlined in this section will make your SCSI drive bootable when it is transferred into your
new Eagle computer:
1. Your old computer may use AMOSL as the monitor and system initialization command file
name—AMOSL.INI and AMOSL.MON. The Eagle computer requires these files to use the
names AMOS32.INI and AMOS32.MON. To make your AMOSL.INI and AMOSL.MON files
Eagle compatible, type:
LOG SYS:
RETURN
COPY AMOS32.INI=AMOSL.INI
RETURN
COPY AMOS32.MON=AMOSL.MON
RETURN
2. Eagle 300-500 computers use three types of I/O boards: the AM-314, which has four-ports, and
the AM-318-00 and AM-318-10, which each have eight ports. The AM-314 uses the
AM314.IDV serial port driver and the AM-318-00 uses AM318.IDV. The AM-318-10 uses two
different drivers: A31810.IDV under AMOS 2.X, and 31810.IDV with AMOS 1.4X.
Eagle 550 computers have four on-board RJ-45 serial I/O ports, and use the standard I/O paddle
card interface. This allows AM-355 and AM-359 serial I/O paddle cards to be incorporated into
the system. Since the four on-board serial ports incorporate the same operating characteristics as
the AM-318-00 board, they use the same AM318.IDV driver. When connecting AM-355 or AM-
359 paddle cards to the I/O expansion channels, you must use the correct driver for the channel
being used. That is, if an AM-355 or AM-359 card is connected to the A-channel, use the
AM355A.IDV or AM359.IDV driver. If the cards are connected to the B-channel, use the
AM355B.IDV or AM359B.IDV driver.
