12.1Enabling the SCSI Dispatcher
Before you verify the TEST.INI file, you need to perform the PIC procedure to enable
the SCSI dispatcher. Your new SSD chip must be installed.
Once you enter the product installation code (PIC), the product overlay file is forever
modified and will not accept a new PIC. This can be a problem if you happen to enter an
incorrect PIC. As a safeguard, make a copy of the dispatcher overlay file before you do
the SSD encodement. Type:
COPY SCZDSP.SAV=SCZDSP.OVR
RETURN
By saving an unmodified version of the overlay file, you will be able re-enter the PIC if
necessary.
To perform the SSD encodement, enter the following commands:
LOG SYS:
RETURN
SCZPIC
RETURN
You will be prompted for a Product Installation Code (PIC).
This PIC is a unique identifier for your system that must be purchased and obtained
from Alpha Micro. Enter the PIC, carefully verifying you have entered it correctly and
press
RETURN
.
After a brief pause, you will be returned to AMOS command level and you can proceed
with the remainder of the installation. If you see the error message ?Improper SSD
after you have rebooted the computer, it probably means you have entered the PIC
incorrectly.
As mentioned above, you cannot SSD encode the same overlay twice; to re-encode the
dispatcher software, do this command first:
COPY SCZDSP.OVR=SCZDSP.SAV
RETURN
You will now be able to re-encode the dispatcher. If after once again rebooting the
computer you still receive the same error, check with your dealer to make sure the
correct PIC was supplied for your computer.
12.2Entering User License PIC (AMOS 2.2C Only)
The AMOS 2.2 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 in single user mode. To operate in multi-user mode, the
OSINST program must be run and the correct PIC code must be entered.
You cannot use your old PIC, you must obtain a new code from Alpha Micro
