Test the system.
The zBUSmon utility is used to test the connection between the computer and
your processor. When all devices are connected correctly, open the zBUSmon
program.
To open zBUSmon:

Click the
zBUSmon
shortcut on the Desktop.
This program allows you to test the connection from the PC to the System 3
hardware. The hardware diagram displays all zBus chassis and programmable
devices, such as the RP2.1, RX6, RZ2 and PA5, connected to the PC. The
hardware diagram will not show most non-programmable devices, such as the
HB7 or SM5, however, non-programmable devices that require a connection to
the PC, such as the RA8GA and HTI3, will appear as an empty zBus chassis.
Microcode.
The microcode running on each processor should match the driver
version number. If you update your TDT drivers in the future, you must also
manually update the microcode for each of your real-time processors by
clicking the ‘Update Drivers’ button in zBUSmon. Note that the interface
version number (v10 or v15) is fixed and cannot be changed by the user
