Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 030/040 Eagle Upgrade Page 5
PDI-03500-00, Rev. B01
The TRMDEF statements in the AMOS32.INI file must be updated with the serial port drivers
corresponding to the configuration of your new Eagle computer. You can find instructions on
how to make these modifications in the installation instructions for the serial I/O board.
3. If your new Eagle configuration will have more serial ports than your old computer has, you’ll
need to increase the queue block allocation. Use this formula to determine your new queue block
requirement:
NEW QUEUE BLOCK REQUIREMENT = OLD QUEUE BLOCKS + (13 x THE
NUMBER OF JOBS)
For example, if the QUEUE statement in your system initialization command file is currently set
to 200 and the JOBS statement is increased to 50, the resulting formula would look like this:
NEW QUEUE BLOCK REQUIREMENT = 200 + (13 x 50)
and you would need to change the QUEUE statement to 850 queue blocks.
Making an Eagle-Compatible Warm Boot Tape
Before you shut down your old computer and remove your Roadrunner board, bootable SCSI drive, and
other peripherals, you may want to make a warm boot tape that would be compatible with your new
Eagle computer. This is especially important if you have no other convenient way of accessing your SCSI
drive should it fail to boot after being installed in your Eagle computer.
An example of a typical routine for generating a warm boot monitor for an Eagle computer is shown
below. The total size of your warm boot monitor cannot exceed 200KB. If you exceed the 200K limit,
WRMGEN will generate an overflow error.
For all Eagle computers, when prompted for the system disk driver name and dispatcher name,
enter SCZRR.DVR and SIMRR.SYS, as shown. However, the input monitor name, the bitmap
size, the number of logicals, and other configuration-specific entries used below are examples
only; you must enter the monitor name, bitmap size, number of logicals, etc. for your
configuration.
