PICO FA flash file system
By default the PICO FA extended BIOS is loaded at system boot. A
message similar to the following is displayed on your screen as the
system boots each PICO FA drive found:
PhoenixBIOS(TM) A486 Version x.xx
Copyright (C) 1985-1994
Phoenix Technologies, Ltd.
The PICO FA extended BIOS allows the PC-510 to boot from the flash
file system on-board the PC-510. These drives are “simulated” hard
drives that look like a standard hard drive on a PC. In some instances
it will be necessary to disable the PICO FA extended BIOS. This is
done by removing jumper W3[3-4]. W3[3-4] works with the D8000-
DFFFF ROM enable in SETUP. Octagon recommends that you use this
jumper to disable or enable the PICO FA BIOS region and leave the
D8000-DFFF ROMSETSSD enable in SETUP as the default.
Note
When installing Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system, it is
necessary to disable the PICO FA flash file system.
Phoenix’s PICO FA™ includes an extended BIOS (PICOFA.IMG), a
device driver (PICOFA.SYS), a format utility (PFORMAT.EXE), and a
test utility (TESTRFA.EXE).
Use the device driver PICOFA.SYS to access SSDs when booting from a
floppy or hard drive, when the extended BIOS (PICOFA.IMG) is dis-
abled.

Defining SSDs using SETSSD
SETSSD allows the user to set or change the PICO FA drive (SSD)
order. PICO FA drives are “simulated” hard drives. They can exist
before or after any IDE drives and can appear in any order. By setting
the order, the SSDs may be accessed as C:, D:, etc. The standard ver-
sion of the PC-510 ships with SSD1. SSD0 is supplied with the optional
version of the PC-510. To install SSD0, see the SSD0 section in the
SSDs, DRAM, and battery backup
chapter.
The following examples demonstrate how to define SSD drive order:

To set SSD0 first and SSD1 second, enter the following command:
PC510 C:\> SETSSD SSD0 SSD1
