5. Select a filename to convert to, or create a new file to convert to (either on
a floppy disk or on the PC’s hard drive).
On the hard drive, the file is placed in the BACKUP directory under the
SPM directory. On the floppy disk, the file is placed in whatever directory is
currently being used.
6. After the new processor module (CKE4 or CKE5) is installed as necessary
or the system software has been upgraded, start the Restore procedure
and select the file you converted to.
As you follow the procedure, WinSPM prompts you for the necessary entries,
such as “Please select file name to convert to, or select NEW FILE to create a
new file on selected drive.”
Flow Control 8
WinSPM provides flow control for the sysrtem programming serial port. Flow
control prevents buffer overflow between WinSPM Release 4 and the MERLIN
MAGIX Release 1.5 and later system. WinSPM Release 4 automatically
engages or disengages flow control as needed.
Once the conversion process starts, you cannot halt it until it
finishes.
