APPENDIX D
AM-137 BOOTABLE DISK DRIVES
If your order included a new SCSI disk drive with a bootable copy of AMOS designed for
your AM-137 upgrade, the drive will be clearly labeled with the following information:
1.Operating system loaded (either AMOS 2.2C or AMOS 1.4C)
2.Number of logicals the drive is divided into
3.Bitmap size
4.Disk structure (non-extended or extended)
If more than one SCSI disk drive was included with your order, only the drive labeled
with the information outlined above has been loaded with bootable software.
METHOD OF CONFIGURATION
The drive has been configured based on your requirements. This includes the version of
AMOS, the number of logicals, and if you select AMOS 2.2C, you have the choice of
extended or non-extended disks.
All SCSI drives factory loaded with bootable software are configured to boot from
the AM-137 board’s high performance SCSI port. Also, if you order your drive with
logicals larger than 32MB, all logicals on the drive will be configured as extended
devices, including DSK0:.
YOUR FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP
The system initialization command file on your bootable disk drive has been configured
with the simple SCSI dispatcher, SIMRR.SYS. After you install your new AM-137
hardware and your computer is up and running, you will want to define the SSD
encoded high performance SCSI dispatcher, SCZRR.SYS, in your system initialization
command file. See the instructions for enabling the SCSI dispatcher earlier in this
document for information on how to SSD encode the SCSI dispatcher.
Your new bootable drive contains all the software you need to support your upgraded
