PROMlink Version 3.4 Installation Program A:PLINSTAL.BAT Copyright 1991 Data I/O Corporation The 'A:PLINSTAL' batch file installs PROMlink from the Program Disk in drive A: into the current working directory of the default drive. If you have set the default drive to A: and type A:PLINSTAL, this screen is displayed, but the rest of the program will not work. Set the working directory and default drive prior to running A:PLINSTAL. If you have set the default drive to drive B:, ensure that there is a blank, formatted disk in drive B:. If you have specified a hard drive as the default drive, ensure that you have set the working directory to that in which you want to install PROMlink. PLINSTAL prompts you to supply an argument to specify the type of computer you have. If you do not supply an argument when prompted to do so, PLINSTAL defaults to an IBM configuration. Valid arguments are: A:PLINSTAL /A for AT & T 6300 A:PLINSTAL /C for Compaq A:PLINSTAL /I for IBM PC, XT, PS/2 or AT A:PLINSTAL /N for NEC PC-9801F A:PLINSTAL /T for Texas Instruments Professional To begin the installation procedure, press the ENTER key. To end the installation procedure, press the CTRL and C keys simultaneously. So what's new in PROMlink 3.4? The PROMlink device list has been greatly expanded to support the following programmer/pak updates: UniSite........V3.3 LogicPak.......V4.0 201............V5.2 29B............V6.0 303A-011A.....V14.0 280............V5.2 UniPak 2/2B...V23.0 303A-011B......V6.0 288............V4.1 GangPak........V8.0 60A/H.........V16.0 212.......V3.0/2.1L 40-p Gang Mod...002 Series 22......V5.1 120/121.......V14.4 MOSPak.........V6.0 Series 1000...V18.0 Should you experience difficulties in using PROMlink, call your local Data I/O representative or (in the USA) call 1-800-247-5700 for technical assistance. If you experience any fault, or would like to make a suggestion for product improvement, a Suggestion/Fault Report is enclosed in the manual for your convenience. If you have previously created unique PROMlink configuration files on the working drive, using a version prior to 3.4, the format of those old configuration files will now need to be modified to be compatible with this new PROMlink release. The modification procedure searches through all directories on the working drive for PROMlink configuration files, and modifies all those it finds. The procedure may take some time, depending on the size of storage space on the working drive. No files will be deleted. This modification procedure will only search for and modify PROMlink configuration files. For more information on the PLCFNMOD utility (which modifies these configuration files), consult the Appendix in your manual. The configuration file change utility creates a dummy file in the default drive's root directory called PLCFNCHG.OUT. The utility program appends to this dummy file the path and filename of any PROMlink configuration file it found on your working disk that it could not modify. A note about use of color: If you own a color monitor, PROMlink can be easily configured to display eight different foreground and background colors, to give you the flexibility to choose a combination that works for you. All you need to do to change the default combination of green-on-black to anything you wish is to edit the 10th line of your INIT.CFN configuration file, changing the 4th (foreground) parameter and the 5th (background) parameter to any of the numbers listed below... 0 Black 2 Green 4 Red 6 Yellow 1 Blue 3 Cyan 5 Magenta 7 White The PROMlink installation procedure is now complete. Refer to the manual for instructions on how to connect your programmer to your PC. Then set the environment variable PLMSG and append the PROMlink directory name to the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, as described in the manual. To run PROMlink, type 'PL' at the DOS prompt. We trust you will enjoy using PROMlink, the simple utility program for conveniently controlling Data I/O programmers.
