Compatibility with Earlier Releases: Folders created with all earlier releases of Logicmaster 90-70 software are upwardly compatible. Folders created with Release 5.00 of Logicmaster 90-70 software are fully compatible with Release 4.01 or later of Logicmaster 90-70 software. CAUTION Once a logic program or configuration is created or modified with Release 5.00 of Logicmaster 90-70 software, it cannot be used with Release 3 or earlier of Logicmaster 90-70 software. Also, once a logic program or configuration is stored to a PLC using Release 5.00, the program must not be loaded by a software release earlier than Release 4.01. If you attempt to use a folder created in Release 5.00 of Logicmaster 90-70 software with Release 3.02 or earlier of Logicmaster 90-70 software, one of these two messages will be displayed: Folder contains files which are incompatible with this release. Program file corrupted. 2. System Requirements: A. The WSI version of Logicmaster 90-70 software requires a minimum of 545K (558,080) bytes of available MS-DOS application memory in order to run. The Standard Serial COM Port version requires either a minimum of 590K (604,160) bytes of available MS-DOS application memory or 545K (558,080) bytes of MS-DOS application memory plus an additional 49K of High Memory Area (HMA), Upper Memory Blocks (UMB), or Expanded Memory (EMS) for the communications driver. For more information, refer to chapter 7, section 4, Standard Serial COM Port, in the Logicmaster 90-70 Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0263. For either version, a minimum 1024K of Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory (LIM EMS 3.2 or higher) is required for optimum performance. If additional MS-DOS application memory is required, system software error ID: 0000 EX: 0000 will occur. Check the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files to remove any device drivers and Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs in order to make more application memory available. Logicmaster 90-70 software does not require the ANSI.SYS driver. B. The Logicmaster 90-70 software will occupy approximately 4 Mbytes of disk space. Please make sure you have adequate space on your disk before attempting to install the software. C. MS-DOS 5.0 or higher. D. An 80386 or higher computer. E. For the Standard Serial COM Port version, a computer with a serial COM port serviced by the National Semiconductor 16550 UART chip is recommended. Important Product Information 3 GFK-0350P 3. Logicmaster 90-70 Installation: For detailed instructions on installing Logicmaster 90-70 software, refer to chapter 2, Operation, in the Logicmaster 90-70 Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0263. Logicmaster 90-70 software is licensed to run on a single computer. If this is the initial installation, you must enter the serial number found on the back of your disks, unless you have the upgrade version. The INSTALL disks are copy-protected. Since backup copies of these disks cannot be made, they should be used to install the software and then put in a safe place. 4. SFC Programmer Installation: The Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Programmer diskette (IC641SWP731A) updates Release 5 or later of Logicmaster 90-70 software to provide SFC programming capability. Release 5 or later of Logicmaster 90-70 software should be installed first. Then, install the SFC Programmer diskette by typing INSTALL. 5. Demo Version (IC641SWP703): The demo version of Logicmaster 90-70 software will install into the LM90DEMO directory on the hard disk specified during the INSTALL procedure. For example, if you specify that the demo version of software be installed on the C: drive, it will be installed in the C:\LM90DEMO directory. To run the demo software, enter the following at the MS-DOS prompt: C:>CD LM90DEMO C:>LM90DEMO The demo version is fully functional. However, the program size is limited to 512 bytes for _MAIN and 512 bytes per program block. 6. Running Logicmaster 90-70 Software from a Disk that does not contain the Logicmaster 90-70 Software: If you need to run Logicmaster 90-70 software from a disk that does not contain the Logicmaster 90-70 software, set up the $PLCROOT environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to point to the location of the Logicmaster 90-70 software: SET $PLCROOT=(drive ID):\LM90 7. Logicmaster 90 Performance: Logicmaster 90-70 software requires a CONFIG.SYS file with BUFFERS set to at least 15 (BUFFERS=15). To increase performance, the buffers should be increased. If you have MS-DOS 5.0 (or higher) and load DOS High, you should be able to set buffers up to 48. This will help the performance of program searches, program loads, program stores, and other disk operations. Beginning with Release 5 of Logicmaster 90-70 software, the variable tables that were once in memory have been moved to disk. While up to 5000 nicknames are now allowed in the _MAIN variable declaration table, the performance of Logicmaster 90-70 software may be affected. For best performance, Lotus/Intel/MicrosoftExpanded Memory (EMM) Version 3.2 or higher of at least 1024K bytes or SMARTDRV should be provided. A memory manager is required for the Standard Serial COM Port version of Logicmaster 90-70 software. A memory manager is provided with MS-DOS 5.0 (or higher) for a 386 or higher computer. However, some computers or PC configurations will require a memory manager such as 386MAXt, produced by Qualitas, or QEMM-386t or QRAMt, produced by Quarterdeck, to provide the maximum amount of memory for Logicmaster 90 and other applications. t 386MAX is a trademark of Qualitas, Inc. t QEMM-386 and QRAM are trademarks of Quarterdeck Office Systems. 4 Important Product Information GFK-0350P The following configurations will assist you in setting up your computer system to run Logicmaster 90-70 software optimally: Version of Logicmaster 90-70 Software Configuration WSI Version CONFIG.SYS: (Standard MS-DOS 5.0) DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH ,UMB DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE1024 RAM X=CE00-CFFF FILES=20 BUFFERS=48 Standard Serial COM Port Version CONFIG.SYS: (Standard MS-DOS 5.0 or higher) DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH ,UMB DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE1024 RAM FILES=20 BUFFERS=48 For systems without WINDOWS 3.1: DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT: - OR for systems with WINDOWS 3.1: C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV Standard Serial COM Port Version CONFIG.SYS: (Standard MS-DOS 5.0 or higher DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYSRAM + QEMM-386*) DOS=HIGH FILES=20 BUFFERS=50 For systems without WINDOWS 3.1: DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT: - OR for systems with WINDOWS 3.1: C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV Standard Serial COM Port Version CONFIG.SYS: (Standard MS-DOS 5.0 or higher DEVICE=C:\386MAX\386MAX.SYSPRO=C:\386MAX\386MA X.PRO + 386MAX**) DOS=HIGH FILES=20 BUFFERS=48 For systems without WINDOWS 3.1: DEVICE=C:\386MAX\386LOADPROG=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT: - OR for systems with WINDOWS 3.1: C:\386MAX\386LOADPROG=C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV * QEMM-386 version 6.0 or later.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.

  • Older Operating Systems
    Older Operating Systems Class Notes # 14 Computer Configuration November 20, 2003 The default configuration of DOS, which may be adequate for many users, is intended to work with the greatest number of systems. DOS also allows users to take full advantage of their computers features. We could configure our computer to operate more efficiently. There are two general ways of making our computers efficient: • Add or replace hardware • Use software to attain an optimal configuration for existing hardware resources DOS falls in the second category. With DOS we can manage our memory more efficiently and we can also use special device drivers and utility programs to enhance the performance of our hardware and software. Device Drivers Device drivers are software programs, which is used by DOS to control hardware devices. Most device drivers are loaded at boot time by including the device driver in your CONFIG.SYS. The DEVICE command tells DOS to load a device driver and uses the following syntax: DEVICE = driver /switches The driver is the actual software for the device, and the /switches are any switches that the device driver software needs. For example, the mouse device driver (MOUSE.SYS) is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file with this command: DEVICE = C:\DRIVERS\MOUSE.SYS The DEVICE = command tells DOS that the program file name MOUSE.SYS stored in the \DRIVERS directory on drive C is a TSR needed to drive the mouse device. You may also load certain device drivers in AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example, the mouse device driver can also be loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

  • Ramcram.Txt MEMORY MANAGEMENT for CD-ROM WORKSTATIONS
    ramcram.txt MEMORY MANAGEMENT FOR CD-ROM WORKSTATIONS by Peter Brueggeman Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library University of California San Diego "Memory management for CD-ROM workstations, Part II", CD-ROM PROFESSIONAL, 4(6):74-78, November 1991. "Memory management for CD-ROM workstations, Part I", CD-ROM PROFESSIONAL, 4(5):39-43, September 1991. The nature of the memory in IBM compatible microcomputers can be confusing to understand and worse to manage. If you are lucky, everything runs fine on the CD-ROM workstation or network and an article on memory management will be interesting but lack immediacy. Try to load other software concurrent with CD-ROM software or to implement network access and you may be due for a crash course in DOS memory, its limitations, and management. Running CD-ROM software usually demands considerable memory resources. Software in general has become more memory-hungry with time, and CD-ROM software have a reputation for being very hungry. Many CD-ROM products state that 640K RAM memory is required; this is not the exact memory requirement of the CD-ROM software. The CD-ROM software itself uses some of the 640K RAM as does DOS. Rarely will the exact memory requirement of a CD-ROM software be readily accessible. Sales representatives usually will not know it and only experienced technical support staff may know. CD-ROM workstation/network managers should try to learn the exact memory requirement of their CD-ROM software. Knowing their memory requirement helps greatly in selecting the level of solution(s). Addressing memory shortfalls may involve considerable tinkering and patience and involve seemingly endless rebooting.
