5.25" Mini Winchester with one floppy drive (5.25" or 8")
Dynabyte Models 5505, 5605
When the 5505 or 5605 computer arrives, the Mini Winchester contains no
installed software; DOS 3 is shipped on two floppy disks. You must,
therefore, initially boot DOS 3 from one of the floppy disks. Both the 5505
and the 5605 can, however, easily be configured to boot DOS 3 from the Mini
Winchester, and normally DOS 3 is transferred to the Mini Winchester and run
from there. Booting DOS 3 from the Mini Winchester is faster and more
convenient.
The procedure below describes how to copy the DOS 3 software, and how to
configure DOS 3 to boot from the Mini Winchester. This procedure will configure the computer into six logical drives (you may have use of only three,
depending on your model type): The Mini Winchester will be assigned to logical drives A and B, and the floppy drives will be assigned to logical drives C
through F. Drives A and B will be of equal capacity; their actual size
depends on the particular 5505 or 5605 model. You may wish to later reconfigure DOS 3 in some other manner. This procedure only describes a standard
first-time installation.

Model 5615
a" Fujitsu Winchester with one S" flq>py drive
Dynabyte Model 5615
When the 5615 computer arrives, the Fujitsu contains no installed software;
DOS 3 is shipped on two a" floppy disks. You must, therefore, initially boot
DOS 3 from one of the floppy disks. If you have a tape controller (Funnel
interface) board, the 5615 can, however, easily be configured to boot 008 3
from the Fujitsu. Booting DOS 3 from the Fujitsu is faster and more convenient.
The procedure below describes how to copy the DOS 3 software, and, if you have
the tape controller board, how to configure the operating system to cold boot
from the Fujitsu. If you don't have the tape controller board, this procedure
describes how to configure DOS 3 to cold boot from the floppy drive and warm
boot from the Fujitsu.
If you have a 23 megabyte drive, this procedure will configure the 5615 into
eight logical drives (you may have use of only five of these depending on your
model). The Fujitsu will be assigned to logical drives A through D, and the
floppy drives will be assigned to logical drives E through H. Drives A through
D will be of equal capacity; their actual size will be 4.7 megabytes each.
If you have an 11 megabyte drive, this procedure will instead configure the
5615 into six logical drives (you may have use of only three of these depend-
ing on your model). The Fujitsu will be assigned to logical drives A and B,
and the flq>py drives will be assigned to logical drives C through F. Drives
A and B will be of equal capacity; their actual size will be 4.7 megabytes
each.
You may wish to later reconfigure DOS 3 in some other manner.

Dynabyte models 5013, 5700, 5710
When a 5013, 5700, or 57ll?J model computer arrives, neither the computer nor
the Winchester disk contains any installed system software. DOS 3 is shipped
on a tape cartridge. To get started, you must boot OOS 3 into the computer's
memory from the tape.
The procedure below descr ibes how to boot DOS 3 from the cartr idge tape and
copy the operating system to the hard disk on the system. When DOS 3 is on
the hard disk, booting becomes a very fast and easy procedure. The procedure
is the same regardless of the size of the disk on your system; however, some
of the menu displays will vary depending on the size of the disk. The places
where the actual menu differs will be noted.
METHOD 4 OVERVIEW'
•
Boot oos 3 from the cartridge tape.
•
Format the hard disk.
•
Generate the system on the hard disk.
•
Boot DOS 3 from the hard disk.
•
Use DTIP to copy the whole cartridge tape to disk.

A second Octaport board provides eight more ports, 0CI9 through OCr16.
Ports USRl through USR8 may be used to configure a board supplied by another
manufacturer or to modify the protocol used with any Pynabyte port. Each USR
port on the distribution disk functions like its correstX>nding CPU port (i.e.,
USRl = CPUl). See the discussion on USER I/O DRIVERS for more details.
Ports ~10DI through MOD8 support two types of modem boards -- the DC HAYES and
PMMI. One modern port is supported by one modern board -- the maximum that
OOS 3 can support. Of the eight mooem ports provided, you may assign only CNE
of them to your system. This flexibility is provided to allow hardware
compatibility with a system that also runs MP/M. See the discussion on moderns
in Section 8.4 for more information on these auto-answer modems.
Any port can be assigned to any device, as long as the assigned ports are
supported by the installation of the appropriate boards. Ports may be
assigned in any order and you do not have to assign every available port if
you don't want to. For instance, you may choose to use CPU serial port #2
(CPU2) and to ignore CPU serial port #1 (CPU1). The system will then not
recognize any input or output from the unused port.
To make the first device assignment, type the appropriate two-letter code.
Note in the following interaction that you are prompted for further
assignments within a logical device category (CDNOOLE, etc.) unless no entry
is made and a carriage return is typed. At that point you are prompted to
assign devices for the next logical device category. The last carriage return
will redisplay the CA menu with its current assignments, allowing yoti the
opportunity to change the assignments or exit the CA option.

The right side of the menu (options r4T - PW) is relevant only if a Modem board
is installed on your system. See the discussion on MODEMS and read your modem
manual before you try to install a modem board. Note that the modem password
can only be eight characters long. The excess characters, digits 9 and 0,
were dropped by DYNASYS. We recommend using 1 stop bit with a Modem.
We recommend that you always use 2 stop bits for CPUI and CPU2. If the
receiving terminal is configured for only 1 stop bit, then using 2 will still
permit communication with the device. If however, you assign 1 and a device
is configured for 2, then you will not be able to communicate. Therefore, you
will typically just type a carriage return in response to the stop bit query.

The drives for the CMD hard disk drives are configured on a platter basis.
Since each platter surface contains 13 megabytes of formatted usable space and
the maximum drive size OOS 3 can handle is approximately S.3 megabytes, each
platter surface is considered to be two logical drives. One logical drive
consists of the outer disk tracks and the other consists of the inner tracks.
Each logical drive is exactly the same size -- 6.5 megabytes -- able to store
up to 512 directory entries. The smallest CMP unit consists of one removable
(CMR) platter an one fixed (eMF) platter, yielding a total of 4 logical
devices. The largest CMD unit may contain up to 5 fixed platters in addition
to the standard removable platter. The logical drives allowed for each of the
3 CMP units are:

3.1.8.1 COld Boot Log Drive
The log drive is the drive that is automatically selected when the system is
accessed via a cold boot. Since the log drive is by default drive A, you will
find yourself on drive A (prompt A» unless the CL option is used. CL (Cold
Boot Log Drive) can be a real convenience if you frequently use a drive other
than the default log dr i ve A. It allows you to assign another disk dr i ve in
your system as the log drive. For instance, say that on your system, drives A
through D are floppy disk drives and drives E through H are hard disks. If
you normally do more work on your hard disk units, you could assign drive E,
F, G, or H as your log drive. Then, because a cold boot puts you directly on
a hard disk unit, you don't have to change the current drive so often. See
Section 9.2 for more information on the cold and warm disk log.
3.1.8.2
~
Reboot Drive
The warm reboot drive is also by default drive A. This means that every time
your computer finishes executing a program, it uses drive A to reload a
portion of the operating system. Hard disk units can perform this task faster
than floppy units. It would therefore be more efficient for you to assign a
hard disk drive, if you have one, as your warm reboot drive.
A word of caution, however. Don't assign a drive as the warm reboot drive
that is not already installed on your system. Section 2 describes how to
properly install a hard disk as a warm reboot drive.
3.1.9 ibe LS Option:
~
/ .save Parameter File
The LS option allows you to save, as a file on the disk, all of the parameters
you have specified in the current DYNASYS program. This disk file can be
reconfigured at a later time to any other values, including the default ones.
Alternately, LS allows you to load a previously created disk file from which
the parameters for the current DYNASYS program are to be taken. The LS option
also allows you to clear all parameters to null values.
We recommend using LS to save your parameters in a file so that the file can
be later recalled with DYNASYS and the values easily reset. Saving your
parameter' file with LS saves you from having to reset all the DYNASYS parameters when there are, perhaps, only a few parameters that you want to change.
An LS menu that is called up by a previous AL option will be displayed after,
not before, the DC option (contrary to the sequence of options listed in the
main menu display). This allows you to check your parameter values before you
save them.

As you can see in the following example, typing a nonexistent file name to the
LP option (LOAD PARAf.1ETER AREA FROM A FILE) generates an error message. The
named file must have been previbusly created with DYNASYS. Notice that
DYNASYS does find and accept the file named PARAMTR.SYS (previously created
with DYNASYS).

The Clear (CP) ~ion
CP (CLEAR PARAMETER AREA) allows you to clear all parameters, including the
default ones, to null values. CP will leave NO assignments in the following
areas: Character I/O; Disk Drives; Modules Included; and Warm Logon Drive.
This option is useful if you want to change the values of many DYNASYS parameters; CP would save you having to individually clear all existing values.
Note that CP protects you from inadvertently clearing values by issuing a
warning. CP executes only if a "y" is typed in response to its query. 'IYPing

The DYNAGEN utility creates a booting, or system, disk by copying the DOS 3
loader and all booting files from one disk to another.
The outer tracks of a system disk contain the loader, which is a start-up

program. When DOS 3 is booted, the computer reads this loader off the system
disk, stores it into the RAM memory of the computer, and then begins executing
it. When the loader executes, it reads booting files off the disk and loads
DOS 3. TO boot DOS 3, therefore, you must have the loader on the outer tracks
of the system disk, and the disk must contain the related booting files.
DYNAGEN can be used to copy the booting data from the or iginal distr ibution
disk or any system disk that you have created, so long as the source disk
contains the loader and all files necessary to boot. Those files are
CPM.SYS
CM..DR.OOM
The DYNAGEN utility allows you to transfer the booting information from an¥
disk onto any other disk. This can even be from an 8" disk onto a 5.25" disk,
from floppy to hard disk, or from hard disk to floppy. This transfer must be
performed to create a DOS 3 system disk that is going to be used to boot the
system.
In addition, if you are copying from floppy to hard disk or hard disk to
floppy disk, you need the loader file that corresponds to the destination
disk. These files are explained in Section 3.2.2, THE cr OPrION.
The destination disk must be formatted before you run DYNAGEN.
discussion on formatting disks in Section 5.
See the
After you haye run DYNAGEN, other files you need may be copied to the same
destination disk with PIP.
You access DYNAGEN by typing DYNAGEN at the system level prompt:
DYNAGEN presents three menu choices:

'Dle 'JR Option (F10wy to Floppy)
If you want to copy a system from one floppy to another, respond with the
option TR. You can copy between like-size drives (8" to 8" or 5.25" to 5.25")
or between different size floppies (8" to 5.25" or 5.25" to 8"). In the TR
mode, DYNAGEN first copies the outer two tracks (the loader) to the destination. It then copies the other two or three files, one at a time. When it is
done, it asks you to return to the menu display, at which point you can exit
to the operating system or run the program again.
You do not have to be logged onto the drive from which you are copying. In

Each of these five blocks is described separately below.
3.3.1
Character I/O Assignments
The CHARACl'ER I/O assignments are displayed in the upper left-hand corner of
the DYNAST~ display. Up to four physical devices may be assigned to each of
the four types of character I/O devices. CONSOLES and PRINTERS are the most
commonly used devices. READERS and PUNCH devices are usually auxiliary in
function. See the Digital Research manuals for more information on READERS
and PUNCHES.

Under the CONSOLE heading are four lines of data, one for each console that
can be assigned in OOS 3. They are represented by the logical numbers 0 -3.
After each console number will appear the current assignment for that console.
In the above e}{ample, console number 0 is assigned to the physical device
CPU2, and console number I is assigned to the physical device OCT2. These
assignments take the form of mnemonics, and are the same as those used with
the CA option of DYNASYS:

Under the LIST heading are four lines of data, one for each of the four
possible printers that can be installed in DOS 3. They are represented by the
logical numbers 0-3. After each number is the mnemonic corresponding to the
assignment for each printer. As in the aNSOLE assignments described above,
these mnemonics are the same as those used with the CA option of DYNASYS, and
correspond to the mnemonics listed above.
3.3.2
Modem Olaracteristics
Under the MODEM heading in the bottom left-hand corner is displayed the type
of modem (PMMI or DC Hayes), and the specifications for that modem. These
specifications are set using the CS option of DYNASYS, and include the baud
rate (the speed of data transmission), the stop bit setting (the number of
bits used to indicate the end of a word), the word length (the number of bits
used to define a word), and the parity setting (odd, even, or none -- a data
integrity check).

3.4.2.2 DYNASYS
DYNASYS generates a system disk by constructing a system from the appropriate
files (see the earlier discussion of DYNASYS for more information on these
system files). DYNASYS is a more complex process than DYNAGEN, so we
recommend using DYNAGEN if all you're doing is creating a system disk with a
new system size. If, however, you are making additional modifications to a
system, you should use DYNASYS. Read the section on DYNASYS for instructions
on reconfiguring system parameters other than size. For the purposes of this
discussion, we will only address DYNASYS in terms of changing system size.
Use DYNASYS to establish a system of a different size only if you are
simultaneously configuring other system parameters. The following example
shows the necessary steps to create a new system disk using DYNASYS. After
invoking DYNASYS, the m option is specified. In response to the m menu, WR
is entered. (The TR option will have no effect for MOVCPM.) The system files
on disk drive A are used as the source and the new system disk is written back
to drive A.

5. The ROM is inserted with pin I
facing the upper left-hand corner of the board. (Complete installation
instructions are shipped with the 2K ROM.)
4.3.2 Disabling the Main Board 101
There is always a ROr.l chip on the main (floppy disk) controller board. When
you install a 2K ROM chip on the tape controller board, your system has two
ROMs. Two ROMs cannot both be operational at the same time; hence, when your
system has a 2K ROM on a. tape controller board, the ROM on the main controller
board must be disabled. This is done by flipping the top switch on the main
controller board open (off).
The other five switch settings on the main controller board set I/O port
addresses. These switches are set at the factory, and should never be
changed. The correct settings are:

disable the tape drives, remove the tape controller board from your system,
and change the setting of the top switch on the main controller board back to
closed (on), re-enabling the ROM on the main board.
Tb
4.3.3 Booting Procedures
The three booting procedures allowed by the 2K ROM are descriPed below. Sinc~
the procedures are controlled by CPU switch settings, you 'must choose the
procedure you want to use before the 2K ROM is installed.
4.3.3.1 Procedure 1
Procedure 1 initializes CPU serial port 2 for 96~~ baud and sends a menu to
the device connected to that port and OCTAPORT 1. The menu allows you to
enter a command to boot the computer from either a floppy disk, a hard disk,
or a tape unit connected to the computer:
H = IlX7l' FlUI BARD DISK
F = IlX7l' FlUI FIDWY
T = BX7l' FlUI TAPE
IlX7l' FIDI ?
You can then enter a single letter command, "H", "F", or "T", to make the ROM
boot fram anyone of the devices listed.
If you are booting from the hard disk, remember that it takes up to 6~ seconds
for the hard disk to spin up to the proper speed for access. The 2K ROM waits
until the disk is up to speed before it attempts to boot.
4.3.3.2 Procedure 2
Procedure 2 first attempts to boot the operating system from a hard disk
attached to the systeme The ROM scans the system for all four types of
Dynabyte hard disks:
DOS 3 - Page 4.3 - 6
WE
2K
IDYl' RCM
1.
Micropolis Winchester (45 megabytes)
2.
Mini Winchester (6, 10, 12, 16, or 19 megabytes)
J.
Fujitsu Winchester (11 or 23 megabytes)
4.
CMD Cartridge Module (32, 64, or 96 megabytes)
R()1
If more than one hard disk has been installed in the system, then the priority
is as listed above. The Micropolis is attempted first, then the Mini
Winchester, then the Fujitsu, and finally the CMD.
If the ROM finds any hard disk attached to the system, it attempts to boot the
operating system from that hard disk. The boot from the hard disk could fail
for one of several reasons:
1.
The hard disk does not contain a system.
2.
The hard disk contains an improper system.
3.
The hard disk has a hardware error.
If one of these errors occurs, the ROM prints the message "HARD DISK ERROR"
and displays the menu shown above for Procedure 1.
4.3.3.3
Procedure 3
Procedure 3 is similar to procedure 2 in that the ROM first tries to boot the
operating system from a hard disk attached to the system. It scans the disks
in the same order, but if the hard disk scan fails to find a system, the
floppy disks are tr ied.
The ROM first attempts to boot from an 8" floppy disk drive. If there is no
8" dr ive or if there is no floppy in the dr i ve, the ROM attempts to boot from
a 5.25" floppy disk drive, or from a second pair of 8" floppies if there are
no 5.25" drives attached.
After each type of floppy disk drive is tried once, the hard disks are tried
again. If the hard disks fail once more, the floppy disks are tried again.
This cycle continues until a floppy system disk is inserted, or a hard disk
containing a system spins up to speed.
4.3.4 DeteDDining the FIOR'Y Disk Configuration
The other parameter that affects the CPU switches is the drive configuration.
The 2K ROM contains a set of tables that reflect every possible drive configuration. For example, there is a table that supports single-sided 8" Shugart
drives with any single-sided 5.25" drives. Another table supports singlesided 8" Remex and any single-sided 5.25" drives, and so forth (the complete
set of tables is shown later). Since the ROM chip is designed to cover any
possible configuration, it is necessary for you to tell the ROM chip which
configuration your system has.
DOS 3 - Page 4.3 - 7
THE IWT ROM
2K IQ1
Novice users may have some difficulty determining the exact floppy configuration on their system. If you have been using a 256 or 512 byte ROM on the
main controller board, the old ROM may provide the information. The label on
the ROM corresponds to the drive configuration of your old system.
The tables below, which show switch settings for the UR40, UR50, and UR60 ROM,
also include the designation of the smaller ROMs that support comparable
floppy configurations.
If the designation on the old ROM is not legible, your Dynabyte dealer can
tell you the configuration of your system.
As a last resort, you can determine the correct switch settings by trial and
error. Start with the most likely switch settings and try to boot your
computer. If that does not work, try another combination and boot again, etc~
Be .s.u.r.e. you have a copy of the distribution disk you are using, as the trial
and error process may damage the disk.
.
4.3.5
Setting the CPU Switches
The CPU switches are located in the switch block at the top of the CPU board.
The following tables show the correct switch settings for each configuration
and boot procedure mode. An aster isk in the bottom row represents a closed
switch (on). An asterisk in the top row represents an open switch (off).
Note that the floppy configuration and the boot procedure interact to
determine the CPU switch settings.
In the tables, the column labeled "Comparable ROM" shows which other ROMs
support the same floppy configuration. If you axe upgrading to a 2K ROM,
match the label on your old ROM to the designation in this column to find your
floppy configuration.

FIDPPY DISK DRIVE 'ID USE (1, 2, 3 C2 4) ?
FFORMAT is now asking for the floppy disk drive on which you would like to
perform the format procedure. The numbering of the floppy drives depends on
which floppy was used to boot the system. If you have two 8" dr i ves and two
5.25" drives on your system, then DOS 3 allows you to boot the system on the
first 8" drive or the first 5.25" drive. The flashing light on the drive
front panel alternately flashes between the 8" and 5.25" drive to tell you
that you may boot on either one. If you only have 8" drives or only 5.25"
drives, then you do not have a choice and must boot on the first (left-hand)
drive on your system.
The drive with which you boot the system becomes floppy drive #1. The drive
next to it becomes floppy drive #2. This numbering scheme is independent of
the ABCDEFGH drive assignment in DYNASYS. The 1234 numbering scheme is only
used for FFORMAT.
If you have four floppy drives on your system, the second pair (the ones not
used for booting) become floppy drives 3 and 4.
You must remember which dr i ve you booted the system on to run FFORMAT. You
must then tell FFORMAT on which drive (by its number) you would like to
perform the format.
After you enter the drive number, FFORMAT selects the drive and prints the
type of drive. There are several types of drives that may be connected to a
Dynabyte computer. Listed below are the types that may be reported back:

would like to return to the operating system, then type "a".
5.1.2.1
~
Format (F) Option
If you select the F option to format a blank or recycled disk, FFORMAT asks
you some questions about how you would like to format the disk.
5.1.2.1.1
Side Format
One question is asked about single or double-sided formatting. If you are not
using a double-sided drive, then this question will not be asked. If you are
using a double-sided drive, then this question is asked to determine how you
would like the floppy to be formatted. A double-sided drive can format either
a single-sided floppy or a double-sided floppy. If you select a double-sided
format option, then make sure that you are using a double-sided disk in the
drive.
If the drive is double-sided, then FFORMAT asks:
1 - FOR SllG"E-SIDFD
2 - FOR IDJBLE-SIDID
RE'lURN - FOR S11GB-SIDED
SIDE FORMAT ?
You may enter either "I" or "2" to select single-sided or double-sided format.
A carriage return selects single-sided format.

5.1.2.1.2 Density
FFORMAT may next ask you about the density you would like to use on the disk.
All 8" drives on Dynabyte computers are capable of either single or double
densi ty capacity. All 5.25" dr i ves are automatically double densi ty, so the
density question is not asked for 5.25" drives.
If you format an 8" disk for single density and 64 directory entries, the disk
is in the IBM standard 8" floppy disk format. Most other 8" systems from
other manufacturers can read a Dynabyte single density disk.
If you format an 8" disk for double density, the disk is in a non-standard
format. No other manufacturer's system can read a Pynabyte double density
disk. However, it provides you with more than twice the storage capacity on
the same disk; so if the disk is going to be used exclusively on a Pynabyte
computer, it is a good idea to format it for double density and gain the extra
storage space. If you are going to use the disk on another manufacturer's
system, you should use single density for compa tibili ty.
If you select an 8" drive to format on, FFORMAT prompts you:
1 - FOR SnG:.E DENSrIY
2 - Fm IXX1BLE DENSrIY
RE'mRN - FOR IXXlBLE DENSrIY
Dm8rIY FORMAT ?
You may enter "I" or "2" to select the dene;ity you wish to use, or hit the
return key to select double density.
5.1.2.1.3
Directo~
Entries
FFORMAT now asks you to enter the number of directory entr ies to reserve on
the disk. You have a choice of 64, 128, or 256 directory entries. It is
recommended that you always use 64 directory entries with single-sided single
density 8 inch disks. This makes them compatible with other single density
systems from other manufacturers. The greater the number of directory
entries, the less disk space is available for files. Do not make the
directory larger than necessary.
Besides the restriction of single-sided single-density 8" disks, you are free
to use up to 256 entries as required. We recommend the following number of
directory entries for each configuration:

You may now select either "R", "FI", "F2", "F3", "F4" or "F5" to format any
platter in the CMD unit. Each platter contains two logical drives for the
operating system to use: one on the outer tracks and the second on the inner
tracks. HFORMAT formats both logical drives on the platter at the same time.
The 32 megabyte CMD unit only has two platters, one fixed and one removable.
The only answers above that would be appropr iate are "R" and "FI". The 64
megabyte CMD has fiR", "FI", "F2", and "F3". The 96 megabyte CMD has "R",
"FI", "F2", "F3", ifF 4", and "F5".
After you select the platter, HFORMAT formats the selected platter and prints
on the console the track numbers in hex notation as it progresses. The
display appears like:
888 B8l B82 983 884 085 886 BB7 088 889 88A 88B 8IC 880 88E •••
Each platter on the CMD unit has 808 (0-807) tracks. This is equal to 327 in
hex. The numbers continue to be displayed until "327" appears and the HFORMAT
returns to the operating system.
Any errors are reported on the console as:
In the event of an er ror you should try to run HFORMAT again. If the er ror
persists, then use another removable cartridge. If it is the removable
cartridge with the error, or if it is the fixed platter, see your Dynabyte
dealer for service.
After HFORMAT has formatted with the appropriate platter it is ready for use
by the operating system. Once again, you should format all the platters when
you receive a new hard disk drive.
You may also run HFORMAT at any time you wish to erase an entire hard disk
platter. Be careful though that you do not try to erase only one drive on a
platter (each platter contains two logical drives)! HFORMAT formats and
erases the ENTIRE platter; thus, both logical drives on the platter are
erased. It is a good idea to push the "write protect" button on the front of
the hard disk drive for a platter that you do not want to format. This
prevents eraSing the wrong platter.
5.3 Micropolis Winchester Hard Disks
5.3.1 Description
Dynabyte1s Micropolis Winchester is available in three different sizes: 9
megabytes, 27 megabytes, and 45 megabytes. It contains from I to 3 platters:
one platter in the 9 megabyte unit, two platters in the 27 megabyte unit, and
three platters in the 45 megabyte unit.
Each platter has two surfaces. Each surface appears to DOS 3 as a single
logical drive, unlike the CMD unit described above that appears as two logical
drives per surface. One surface on the first platter, however, is used as a
servo surface by the drive to perform accurate head positioning.
DOS 3 - Page 5.3 - 12
FDRMA'I'1'ING AND CONFIGURING DISKS
MicrQpolis Winchester Hard Disks
The 9 megabyte unit therefore appears to ooS 3 as one logical dr ive. The 27
megabyte unit appears as three logical dr i ves and the 45 megabyte unit appears
as five logical drives. Each physical surface can hold approximately 7.5
megabytes of formatted storage.
The DYNASYS generation utility configures these logical drives. See Chapter 3
for more details on running DYNASYS. During the DYNASYS process, you are
asked for the disk drive assignments for each logical drive on the system.
For the Micropolis Winchester unit, you may use the following mnemonics:
MWI is the logical (physical) drive from a 9 megabyte unit. On the Micropolis
Winchester, each physical surface appears to DOS 3 as one logical drive.
MW2 and MW3 are the two logical drives for the second and third surfaces in a
27 or 45 megabyte uni t. The 27 and 45 megabyte units also have an MWI dr i ve
as descr ibed above.
MW4 and MWS are the two logical drives for the fourth and fifth surfaces in a
45 megabyte unit. The 45 megabyte unit also has the MWl, MW2 and MW3 dr ives
descr ibed above.
You should ascertain the size of Micropolis Winchester unit installed on your
system before running the DYNASYS program. When DYNASYS prompts for the disk
drive assignments, use only the mnemonics listed above that pertain to the
size of Micropolis Winchester unit that is installed on your system. If you
use one of the mnemonics above and your Winchester unit does not support it,
then the system will crash the first time that drive is accessed.
5.3.2 WFORMAT
WFORMAT is used to format a Micropolis Winchester drive. Before any hard disk
surface may be used by the operating system, it must be formatted. Even
though the surfaces are formatted at the factory, we highly recommend that you
format all of your surfaces when you first receive your hard disk drive.
WFORMAT should always be run off-line. This means that no other users on the
system should be doing anything! A good way to insure this is to reboot the
system .with a disk configured for only one terminal. You can then run WFO~
from this single terminal and be assured that no other user will interfere.
This is very important.

CARTRIOOE TAPES
6."
6.1
CAImUDGE TAPE SYS'lUfS
Description
The cartridge tape drives supplied with many Dynabyte computers facilitate
off-premise data base storage and shipping. They also provide an easy and
inexpensive means of storing backup copies of data, or files that are
infrequently used.
While data storage is the primary function of cartridge tapes, they can also
be used for booting on Dynabyte computers. See Section 4 for a complete
discussion of requirements and options for booting from tape.
The DTIP utility transfers data to and from cartridge tapes. By supporting
both ambiguous and unambiguous file names, file types and user numbers, DTIP
allows you to back up or restore a single file or an entire drive with equal
ea'se, at a rate of 2 minutes/megabyte.
Data is organized on cartridge tape much as it is on a disk. Both storage
media allow reference to a file by name, and do not require the user to know
anything about the physical organization of data on the actual medium.
Section 6.4 shows the actual tape record layout.
Data is written to tape in 8208-byte blocks, allowing a full 8K data record
(8192 bytes) with a l&-byte file control block. This configuration allows
13.4 megabytes of storage on a 450-foot tape. Data is written sequentially on
each of four tracks. As each track is filled, the tape is rewound and the
next track selected. This is transparent to the user. If a tape is filled
during a backup operation, a message requesting a new tape is issued. The
backup continues when a new tape is inserted.
the cartridge tape system, written data is dynamically reread and corrected
automatically by the tape subroutines, reducing restore errors to 5 in 1010 •
It is nomal for the cartridge tape unit to rewrite 5 to 10 blocks per track.
,On
Often you will find a need for only a fraction of the total space on a tape
for anyone logical group of files to be saved. There may still be plenty of
unused tape left. In order to make more efficient use of the medium, DTIP
provides a "saveset" feature. This scheme allows you to save and restore
multiple copies of files with the same name and type. Savesets are referred
to by a two digit hexidecimal number within the range of 00-7F. The APPEND
command automatically opens a new saveset with the saveset number equal to one
more than the previous saveset number, unless manually overridden by the
operator. The saveset numbers are used by four DTIP options: BACKUP,
RES'IORE, APPEND, and DlREC'IORY.
6.1.1
Cartridge Tape Media
DTIP uses cartridge tapes with a capacity of up to 13.4 megabytes. As of this
printing, the only cartridge tapes certified for use with the 6400 BPI
technology drives are:
DOS 3 - Page 6.1 - 1
DTIP

3M-Scotch DC-300XL (450 1 ) (Lot numbers 087-xxx, 089-xxx, and 8105/0505
known to perform poorly and should not be
used.)
We strongly recommend that you buy certified media.
6.1.2
iestiBj the Cartridge Tape b\'Stem
Once you have installed DTIP's hardware and software on your Dynabyte Computer
System, you should test your unit by running DTIP. DTIP provides a full range
of functions which will aid you in checking your newly installed system.
The INITIALIZATION (I) function of DTIP provides a very broad test. This
command initializes tapes by writing a different data pattern at the beginning
of each track. These patterns are then read to assure correct data was
written to each. Once DTIP has determined that these tests were successful,
it writes file marks to each of the tracks. This feature will be discussed
fully below.
If any errors occur during this procedure, DTIP provides you with Disk Status
and Interface Status codes. These ERRORS are defined in Section 6.2.
We suggest that you familiarize yourself by experimenting with the various
DTIP operations including BACKUP, RESTORE and VERIFY, and recommend initial
testing be done with noncritical data. Some of the DTIP commands are
potentially dangerous unless you thoroughly understand their behavior •.
Experiment with a blank tape and a backup floppy. Then just try each of the'
commands, one at a time.
6.2
m'IP
DTIP (Dynabyte Tape Interchange Program) is the utility program used to
transfer files between disk and tape. Among DTIP's features are:
• File level access to tape system
• Easy BACl
The DISK TO TAPE APPEND searches for the end of the data on the tape, and
starts backup procedures at this point. In all other respects this routine is
the same as the BACKUP routine.
The APPEND algorithm searches for the last track in use, starting with track
4. This system reduces the average time required to locate the end of data
point on the tape.
Tapes must be initialized (I) prior to a backup if the APPEND is to be used.
This is good cornmon practice since the INITIALIZE (I) rountine also performs a
diagnostic of both the tape subsystem and the tape.

TAPES
Preventive
Maintenance
There are a few simple rules to follow while handling the magnetic tape media:
1.
Be
certain that no tape cartridge is in the drive while powering
up or powering down the tape drive or the computer system.
2.
Never remove the tape cartridge while any kind of tape transfer
is underway.
3.
Store your cartridges in a cool dry place when not in operation.
Permanent damage may be done to the capstan if a tape is left ip
the unit!
Three components of the tape unit require per iodic maintenance in order to
insure overall system reliability. The cleaning removes contaminants from the
tape unit which come in direct contact with the tape. The cleaning assures
that there will be adequate contact between the tape head and the tape.
A dirty tape bead can cause data dropouts and error conditions during read and
write operations. It is recommended that you clean your tape head frequently
with a non-corrosive, non-residue cleaning agent such as isopropyl alcohol.
Apply the alcohol with a cotton swab and be sure to wipe off any excess and
allow the head to dry before using the unit.
CAUTION:
Spray type head cleaners are
not recommended.
Never clean the tape head with a hard
d>ject. nus will result in head damage.
The tape cleaner removes loose foreign material from the tape before it comes
in contact with the tape head. This foreign material accumulates in and
around the tape. The tape cleaner should be cleaned with the same frequency
as the tape head.
To clean the tape cleaner, insert a folded piece of paper in the bottom of the
cleaner and lift up. This will lift out all foreign material. Compressed air
or a brush may be used. It is also recommended that occasionally you use the
same cotton swab and alcohol method suggested in the tape head cleaning
section.
Never clean the tape cleaner with
a hard object6 If the tape cleaner should
become chiwed it could scratch the tape head
and cause permanent damage.
CADTIm:
The recommended method for cleaning the capstan is the same one recommended
for the tape head: alcohol and a cotton swab.

SIse CP/M program for copying files from one disk to
another or from disk to printer. It can copy one file, several files, or all
the files in one user area. PIP cannot copy the loader from a system disk.
DTIP must be used to transfer files to cartridge tape. See your Digital
Research CP/M manual for a complete discussion of PIP.
DYNPGEN is a highly sp?cialized DOS 3 program that copies the loader and boot
files from a system disk to another disk. It thereby creates a new boot disk.
After DYNAGEN is run, PIP can be used to transfer other files to the new disk.
See Section 3.1 for a complete description of DYNAGEN.
DTIP is used to copy files from disk to cartridge tape and to restore from
tape to disk. It is used primarily to create backup copies of data. It can
copy or restore one file, many file types, or all files in a user area. DTIP
is discussed in Section 6.2.
BACKUP is also used to create backup copies of data on disk only. Files
copied from hard disk to floppy disk cannot be accessed until they are
restored to hard disk. Additionally, BACKUP cannot append files; it clears
the destination disk before beginning the copy. BACKUP can copy files of any
size, and can copy files in all user areas of a disk. BACKUP is discussed
below in Section 7.1.
HOOPY is another specialized program, used only on systems that have Cartridge
Module hard disk drives. It copies one entire platter to any other platter.
HOOPY is discussed below in Section 7.2.
7 .1 J:WI«JP
The BACKUP utility is used to create backup copies of data on hard or floppy
disk. BACKUP can selectively copy one or more files in one user area (file by
file mode) or can copy entire logical disks (track by track mode). You can
use BACKUP to copy between the following pairs of devices:
• From hard disk to floppy disk set:
track by track or file by file
• From floppy disk set to hard disk:
track by track or file by file (this copy is allowed
only to restore a hard to floppy backup)
• From floppy disk to floppy disk:
track by track only
• From hard disk to hard disk:
track by track only
DOS 3 - Page 7.1 - 1
When copying between like devices (floppy to floppy or hard to hard), the
devices must be identical. The following drive types and sizes can currently
be used by the BACKUP program.

BACKUP, as its name implies, was designed primarily for backing up large
blocks of data so that a copy is available i f the original data is somehow
lost or damaged. Large files that are updated frequently can (and should) be
backed up on a regular basis.
BACKUP can also be used to store data that is infrequently accessed. These
files could be copied, using BACKUP, from the hard disk to floppies, and the
originals on the hard disk erased. This could free up a great deal of storage
space on the hard disk. When the backed up files are needed in the future,
they could be restored onto the hard disk.

7 .1.1 IWXUP versus PIP
The CP/M utility PIP is alno llned to copy filcs.
following ways:
PIP and MCKUp differ in the
• PIP can copy files between any two drives on your system, regardless of
size or type. BACKUP is restricted to certain combinations of devices.
• PIP creates a CP/M standard floppy disk that can be accessed by any
CP/M utility. BACKUP, when used from hard disk to floppy, creates nonstandard floppy disks that can be accessed ~ by BACKUP to restore
the data to hard disk.
• PIP cannot copy a file larger than 1
can copy files of any size.
~lB.
BACKUP, on the other hand,
• PIP transfers a file to any empty space on the destination disk but
does not affect other files on that disk. BACKUP erases the destination disk before it writes out the files. Thus, PIP can append files,
but BACKUP cannot.
• PIP can only copy files in the current userls area, whereas BACKUP, in
track by track mode, can copy all user areas on a disk.
• If PIP is used to copy a floppy system disk, it must be used with
DYNAGEN since PIP cannot copy the loader (the outer two tracks).
BACKUP, in track by track mode, copies the entire floppy system disk,
including the loader.
This section first explains how to invoke BACKUP and transfer files from hard
disk to floppy disk, since that is the most frequently used option. Then the
two other BACKUP options, hard disk to hard disk and floppy disk to floppy
disk, are explained. Last in this section is a list and description of error
messages.
7 .1.2
InvokiDJ IWXUP
You access BACKUP by typing "BACKUP" at the system-level prompt. You may
invoke BACKUP in one of two ways. Typing "BACKUP", followed by a carriage
return, will put you in an interactive BACKUP mode that queries you for
information to perform the backup. You may also perform BACKUP with a single
command line, as described below.
The interactive BACKUP mode presents you with a list of three options and asks
for your choice:

BACKUP next asks for the destination which, in file by file mode, must be a

BACKUP then displays the type of hardware on each drive, and also the number
of directory entries. For example:
~
DESTlNATICB
= 4.7 MB FllJITSO
= 8- SS ID FIDPP!'
DIR EN.lRIES
DIR EN.lRIES
= 8512
= 8128
You are then prompted for the archive date. You can enter any date you want,
and it will be stored as a directory entry on your backup floppies.
After you have entered the date, BACKUP tells you to insert the first floppy
in your set and type the carriage return to continue. For example, if you had
specified drive E as the destination drive, BACKUP would print
INSERT FIDPPY DISK '81 IN DRIVE E
BIT RETURN

If all the files to be transferred will not fit on one floppy disk, BACKUP
fills the first floppy, then pauses and requests the second disk. For
example:
INSERT FIDPP!' DISK 182 IN DRIVE E
BIT RETURN
am
You are again asked for file names, and again are allowed to use the wildcard
characters n*" and "?" to select the file(s) to be restored.
When you are restoring files, the floppy disk must be specified as the source
drive, and any hard disk can be specified as the destination drive. Again,
BACKUP confirms your choices by displaying, for the two drives, their type and
number of directory entries. For example, to restore files from drive E to
drive D, the interaction would be:

7.1.4.2 Bard Disk to Bard Disk Copy
For hard disk to hard disk copies, the two hard disks must be identical, the
logical drives must be the same size, and the number of directory entries must
be the same.
Hard disk to hard disk backup generally is used if a set of files are to be
extensively altered but it is likely that one or more of the files will be
needed in its original condition. Programmers are likely to use this mode
during program development, since recovery is much faster than from a floppy
disk.
In the following example, the source drive is A and the destination drive is

A MODEM enables you to communicate with your computer from remote sites via a
telephone line by providing the interface between digital and analog systems.
Your computer sends and receives digital signals. The telephone transmission
system handles analog signals. MODULATION is the process whereby a computer's
digital signal is changed so that it may be more efficiently transmitted
through the telephone lines' analog transmission medium. DEMODULATION is
simply the inverse of modulation: converting the analog signal back to its
original digital form. The term MODEM reflects its function as MOdulatorDEModulator.
In addition to supporting the common acoustic coupler modem, OOS 3 also
supports the ~ANSWER MODEM. The auto-answer modem is installed directly
in the computer and is connected to a telephone line. It automatically
"answers the phone" when a remote user with an acoustic coupler modem calls
the telephone number assigned to the computer. An auto-answer modem accepts
incoming calls from remote terminal users by continually monitoring the modem
port for incoming signals. Without the auto-answer feature, someone at the
computer site must manually answer the computer's phone line.

respectively.
8.4.1 Installation
Each of the two OOS 3-supported auto-answer modem boards may be installed in
any slot on the Dynabyte 8-100 bus. Up to 8 modem boards can be installed but
only one may be in .l.l.W! at a time. Read the technical manual for your modem
board before installing the board into your system. Beyond the instructions
in the manual, the only adjustment you have to make to integrate the modem
board into a Dynabyte system is to reset the I/O ADDRESS. When you first
receive them, the PMMI and D.C. Hayes modem boards will be configured for I/O
port 80 hex. However, this port is reserved by a fully implemented DOS 3
system and therefore .must be reset before installing the modem board.
The I/O address is set by the DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch. On the D.C.
Hayes modern board, the DIP switch is the green switch box on the right side of
the board. On the PMMI modem board it is the red switch box located in the
middle of the board. You should set the poSition of the switch to correspond

User-Installed I/O Drivers
APWWCfD FEATURES
This section provides instructions for the experienced computer user to modify
and customize DOS 3 for a particular application.
Section 9.1, User Installed I/O Drivers, explains the procedure for installing
a non-Dynabyte I/O driver. DOS 3 will support up to eight user-installed I/O
drivers. DOS 3 directly supports the CPU serial and parallel ports, the
octaport 8-port ser ial board, and an auto-answer modem.
You can install the non-Dynabyte driver to:
•
Interface with non-Dynabyte equipment
• Add line protocol (ETX, OCl/DC3, Aart 8 p:>rt serial board and an auto-answer modem. However, sometimes
you need to communicate with some other type of I/O device or simply modify
one of the existing drivers.
Eight of these user-defined I/O devices may be used in a DOS 3 system. This
section will explain exactly how to write an I/O driver for a user device, how
to install the driver in IX>S 3, and how to use it.
To write a user I/O driver, you MUST understand Z8~ assembly language
programming. Writing and installing an I/O driver is not a difficult process,
but it does require some basic knowledge and experience. Dynabyte does not
r.eoommend that a novice install user I/O drivers.
On the distribution disk is a file called "USERIO.MAC". This is the source
code file for two I/O drivers that have already been written for the Microsoft
M80 assembler. Some minor modifications will be needed to assemble this file
under a different Z80 assembler.
DOS 3 - Page 9.1 - 1
User-Installed Ito privers
ADVANCE[) FEAWRES
The USERIO.MAC file is "ORG"ed at 0000 hex. Actually, there is no "ORG" at
all, so the Microsoft M80 assembler will produce a relocatable "REL" type of
file. The Digital Research Linking utility, "LINK", can then use this "REL"
file to produce a "SPR" type of file. The "SPR" file is in page relocatable
form, which is then loaded by DYNMYS and merged into the CPM.SYS file. The
process to produce the "SPR" file will be explained in more detail later in
this chapter.
The first code assembled in .the USERIO.MAC file is a jump table. This table
contains 6 jump vectors to routines located later in the file:

CINIT
INSTAT
Ol'STAT
INPUT
i INITIALIZE ALL USER I/O
i POLL USER INPUT DEVICE
i POLL USER OOTPUT DEVICE
i INPUT FROM USER DEVICE
DEVICES
OUTPUT
iOUTPUT DATA ID USER DEVICE
The first jump vector, "CINIT", should jump to a routine that will be called
only once during system initialization. This routine should contain all the
code needed to initialize any I/O device, such as setting up baud rates, UART
parameters or board configurations. If your devices require no initialization,
then this jump vector should point to a RET instruction.
The CINIT routine is the first routine loaded after the jump vector table.
Consul t Appendix C for a listing of CINIT as part of USERIO.MAC. On entry,
Register pair DE I,X>ints to the start of the system data };age.
The four other jump vectors are used to communicate to the actual user I/O
devices •. Each of these four jump vectors have certain entry and exit
parameters:
EN'lRY:
D RFX;ISTER = USER DRIVER NUMBER (1-8)
C
ROOIS'l~
= CHARACTER 'IO OOTPUT (OOTPUT ONLY)
EXIT:
A REGISTER = 0/0FFH FI..AG FOR READy/roT READY
(INSTAT/OTSTAT ONLY)
A REx:;ISTER = OIARACTER INPUT (INPUT ONLY)
On entry to each of the four jump vectors, the D register will contain the
number of the user I/O device for the call. By examining the D register and
then branching to the appropriate routine, you can write routines to handle up
to eight user I/O devices. The D register will contain the appropriate value
for each of the four jump vectors.
The C register will contain the character to send to the output device when
the OUTPUT jump vector is called. The C register has no meaning for the other
jump vectors.
When the routine returns control back to the operating system (by executing a
RET instruction), it must pass certain parameters back to inform the operating
system about the condition of the device. The OUTPUT routine does not need to
return a. parameter. It simply performs the output function.
DOS 3 - Page 9.1 - 2
User-Installed I/O Drivers·
AOV'ANCEQ FEATURES
The INSTAT and OTSTAT routines MUST return the A register equal to either 0 or
hex. If the routine returns a 0, then DOS 3 will assume the device is still
busy and not ready to receive or send a character yet. If the routine returns
a FF hex in the A register, then DOS 3 will assume the device IS ready and
call the appropriate routine (either INPUT or OUTPUT) to send or receive the
character.
FF
The INPUT routine must read the character from the device and return the
character in the A register.
In the USERIO.MAC file on the distribution disk you will find two user I/O
drivers that have already been written. These two drivers will communicate
with the two CPU serial ports. There are already drivers for these two ports
written for DOS 3. These are called "CPUIO.SPR." You can use the already
written drivers by using the CPUI and CPU2 mnemonics inside of DYNASYS for
console, printer, reader, or punch assignments. The drivers have simply been
rewritten in the USERIO.MAC file as an example for writing user I/O drivers.
You may also use the drivers to modify the routines used to communicate with
the two CPU serial ports. To add an ETX ACK protocol for instance. These two
user I/O drivers can be assigned in DYNASYS just as the ones above by entering
the mnemonics USRl and USR2 for CPUI and CPU2 respectively. You will find that
both the USR and CPU mnemonics will function the same.
The user should study this existing source code file, USERIO.MAC, to determine
how to write his own I/O drivers. Watch for the treatment of the D register
particularly. This register is used to vector between the different device
handlers.
The first routine, after the jump vector table, should be the initialize
routine. This routine is labeled, "CINIT", in the USERIO.MAC file. In this
routine should be the routines necessary to set up your I/O device. In the
USERIO.MAC file, there is an example that configures CPUl and CPU2 baud rates
from parameters stored in System Data Page. If your device needs any initialization, then the routines to perform this should be included here. This may
include setting up the correct baud rate, setting UART parameters, or initializing RAM storage locations. This routine is called once and only once,
immediately after the user I/O drivers are installed.
The next four routines that need to be written are the actual device handling
routines. As mentioned above, there are four routines to perform four
different functions:
1. INSTAT2. OTSrAT 3. INPUT
-
4. OOTPUT -
To poll the input device for input ready
To poll the output device for output ready
To input the character from the device
To output the character to the device
The INSTAT routine will be called every time OOS 3 needs to get a character
from the input device. The device number that it wants to poll will be in the
D register as a value 1 through 8. If you are simply writing a driver for only
one device, then you can ignore the D register, otherwise you must examine the
D register to see which device to poll for the input.
The INSTAT routine must simply "POLL" the input device and return the status
of it. It must not actually input the character from the device (INPUT does
DOS 3 - Page 9.1 - 3
User-Installed 110 Driyers
ADVANCEQ FEAWRES
that). If you must read the character from the device in order to poll it,
then store the character away to be retrieved by the INPUT routine. The INSTAT
routine must return the status of the device in the A register. It should send
back a 0 in the A register if the device has not received a character. It
should return a FF hex in the A register if the device does have a character.
The routine should not "loop" waiting for the device, it MUST return
immediately after being called with the status of the device.
The OTSTAT routine is very similiar to the INSTAT routine above, except it
should poll for the status of the OUTPUT device. Once again, the device number
to be polled is in the D register. If you are simply writing a driver for only
one device, then you can ignore the D register. Like the routine above, the
OTSTAT routine should return a 0 or FF in the A register to return the status
of the output device. If the device is ready to output another character, then
a FF hex should be returned in the A register. If the device is not ready to
output another character, then a 0 should be returned. Once again, this
routine should wr "loop" waiting for the device to become ready, but should
return with the status i~mediately after being called.
The next two routines, INPUT and OUTPUT, perform the actual character output
and input to the devices.
The INPUT routine should input the character from the device and return with
the character in the A register. The INPUT routine should NOT examine the
status of the device. The status will already have been checked by the operating system. DOS 3 will ONLY call the INPUT routine after the INSTAT routine
has said that the device is ready. So you are ALWAYS guaranteed that the
device will have a character by the time INPUT is called. You do not need to
examine the status of the device, simply read the character from the device
and return with the character in the A register. As in the above routines, the
D register will contain the device number to perform the input from.
The OUTPUT routine is very similiar to the INPUT routine, except that it
performs an output function. Once again, the device number to output to will
be in the D register as a value 1 through 8. As in the routine above, you do
not need to examine the status of the device. OUTPUT will GJLY be called after
the device status (through OTSTFa? has already been examined and returned with
a ready value. The character in the C register is the character that should be
sent to the device.
Those are the five routines that need to be written. You should follow the
supplied examples in the USERIO.MAC file to guide you in writing user I/O
drivers.
After writing the I/O drivers, you will need to install them in DOS 3. As we
mentioned above, the user I/O drivers need to be supplied in "SPR" page
relocatable form. See the Digital Research CP/M manual for more information
about the "SPR" type of file.
After assembling your user I/O drivers you must produce a file:
USERIO.SPR

ADVANCEQ
F~wS
______________________________~Us~e~r~-AI~nws~ta~J~l~ed~.I/wO~D~r~i~v_er~s
The method for producing the "SPR" file requires some special utilities:
1.
Assembler that produces a n.REL" file
(such as Microsoft nMB0")
2.
Digital Research's "LINK" utility
First, the source code file must be created with no ORG statement. This will
force the assembler to produce a relocatable type of file. Next, the Digital
Research LINK utility is used to produce the "SPR" file from the nREL n file
directly:
A>LINK usmuO.SPR=OSERIO[OP,LI]
To use the USERIO drivers, you must run the DYNASYS program. Using the nCAn
option in DYNASYS, you can assign USRl-USRB to any console, driver, reader, or
punch channel. After the drivers are assigned, use the "CO" and "WR" options
to create a new system disk. When the operating system "calls" any of the
user I/O drivers, it will load the D register with the number of the I/O
driver· that you assign during DYNASYS. So, the D register will be loaded with
a valu~ between 1 and B for the eight user I/O drivers USRl-USRB:

file. CPMLDR reads the file CPM.SYS (created by DYNASYS) from the booting
device. CPM.SYS is the Dynabyte BIOS in page relocatable form. Then CPMLDR
relocates CPM.SYS to run at the actual BIOS base address. CPMLDR examines the
size of the CPM.SYS in relocatable format and does a memory test of the BIOS
memory area to see if there is enough room to completely load CPM.SYS. If
there is not enough memory, an error message is displayed, and the boot
process halts. You should then boot a previously generated system and run
MOVCPM to move CCP down to make more room for CPM.SYS. When CPM.SYS is
looded, phase two is complete.
In phase three, the CPMLDR moves the relocated CPM.SYS to the area above BIXJS,
overwriting LOADER BIOS and then jumps to CCP and DOS 3 signs on.
9.2.2
warm Boot
A warm boot causes software control to be given to the warm boot code in the
BIOS. The warm boot code reads CCP and BOOS into memory from the warm boot
device and gives control to the CCP.
There are six parameters within DYNASYS that relate to the booting process:

9.2.3 Disk Log
During the cold boot procedure, the CCP examines a user-defined parameter that
determines which disk will be the initial logged disk drive. The CL parameter
{set in DYNASYS) allows you to set the logged drive to any drive. If you
assign drive B as the cold boot logged device, the system comes up with the B>
prompt. This prepares the system for use faster if you prefer a logged drive
other than drive A.
In the warm boot process the logged drive is determined before control is
passed to the new copy of CCP.

Cold and Warm Boots
ADVANCEO FEAWRES
9.2.4 Chain Modules
DOS 3 is capable of executing a single predefined command line at the end of
either a cold or warm boot. This single command line is defined using the CM
option of DYNASYS. In this way a computer operator can power on the computer
system and be up and running an application package (a word processing
package, accounts receivable, etc.) without ever communicating with the
operating system.
During the cold boot process, before the CPMLDR gives control to the CCP, the
CPM.SYS file is examined to determine if a cold boot chain command has been
installed. If no chain command is installed, control is passed to the CCP.
If there is a chain command installed, that command is placed in the CCP for
execution.
During the warm boot procedure, the warm boot program checks the system data
page to determine if a warm boot chain command is present. If one is present,
it is loaded in CCP and control is given to cepe If there is no warm boot
chain command, control is passed immediately to the CCP.
