DOS Based Quick Start
This chapter describes how to quickly get your DOS-based system set up and running using the
VL-586-1 CPU card
Introduction
A minimum DOS based run time system requires the CPU card, a BIOS, and a boot device
containing an operating system and an application program. In many cases a video card,
keyboard, and monitor are added to this list, however, the VL-586-1 does not demand their
presence in order to boot.
The VL-586-1 includes a Flash Disk System and an installed bootable copy of Embedded DOS.
If you require a DR-DOS disk call 1-541-485-8575 and we will send one free of charge. The
CMOS RAM information is shipped in its factory default condition, which allows immediate
booting to the command prompt. If the CMOS Setup parameters need to be changed, the most
convenient method of setting up this information is by using a keyboard and monitor. This
requires the addition of a video card.
Typical components of a VL-586-1 DOS based system include:
•
VL-586-1 CPU Card
•
STD or STD 32 Card Cage
•
Standard PC/AT keyboard
•
PC/104 Video Module
•
Video Monitor
•
Keyboard
•
Power Supply
