System Disc (/System) Release 5.0.0 Part No. 00095-12063 (copyright Hewlett Packard Co., 1985) Introduction ------------ This disc contains miscellaneous files which may be of use to you for optional equipment and application software available for the HP Integral PC. Also included are some simple upgrade procedures for application s/w you may have purchased from HP for the earlier operating system release (HP-UX/RO 1.0.0). Hewlett-Packard has made every attempt to make this operating system upgrade as easy and natural as possible. Most application discs will run "as is" without need for change. Contents -------- A set of loadable s/w drivers for optional h/w equipment are provided on this disc. Associated with each loadable driver are three seperate files. These consist of a load utility program, a driver data file and a manual page. The manual pages should be consulted for more information on each driver. The following is a list of the files on this disc. load_modem Program used to load the s/w driver for the 82915A 300/1200 bps Modem Card. modem.data Data file for the `load_modem' program. load_modem.doc Manual page for `load_modem' utility. Located in `documents' folder. load_plot Program used to load the s/w driver for HP plotters connected through the Serial Interface. For use with the 5.0.0 ROM set only. plot.data Data file for the `load_plotter' program. load_plot.doc Manual page for `load_plotter' utility. Located in `documents' folder. Operation --------- All programs on this disc are prefixed with `load_'. Each can be executed by simply typing the program name to PAM, or by highlighting the program name and pressing [Start] (ie., the key [f1]). Each program will create a window and indicate when the loading operation is complete and the driver is ready for use. All manual pages have the suffix `.doc' . Manual pages can viewed or printed by using the PAM view or print command, or by simply directing the manual page to the printer (e.g., 'load_modem.doc >/dev/lp'). Copying Files ------------- Although, the `load_...' utilities can be used directly from this disc, you may find it useful to copy them to other discs depending upon your application. This is easily accomplished by using the copy command in PAM. When copying a 'load_..." utility, be sure to also copy the appropriate data file. For example, to copy the software for the modem card to a new disc, you must copy both the `load_modem' and the `modem.data' files. The manual page for each utility lists the associated files required for that utility to operate. The manual page file, itself, need not be copied. DATACOMM and MODEM Product Upgrade ---------------------------------- The DATACOMM disc which comes with the MODEM product contains loadable s/w drivers for both the SERIAL and MODEM cards. The HP-UX/RO 5.0 release contains the serial driver in rom, thus no change is required for SERIAL card users. The MODEM driver, however, which is supplied on this disc has been upgraded to operate with both operating system releases, (version 1.0 and version 5.0). To upgrade your DATACOMM disc for modem, copy the `load_modem' and `modem.data' files to your working DATACOMM disc. Then proceed as normal. See "Copying Files" discussion immediately above.
