DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Ziatech offers two software development systems for ZT 8905 applications: DOS and the STD 32
STAR SYSTEM.
Ziatech DOS is Microsoft's MS-DOS residing on the ZT 8905. The DOS system provides a
development platform similar to a PC, enabling applications to be developed quickly. DOS includes
support for many of the ZT 8905 peripherals and is supported by a large number of development
tools such as program editors, compilers, assemblers, and debuggers. Refer to the Ziatech system
manual for configuration and operating instructions.
The STD 32 STAR SYSTEM is the DOS platform operating on more than one master in a single
STD bus system. Each master includes local memory, local I/O, and the DOS operating system.
Each master is capable of sharing STD bus memory and I/O, such as fixed disks, floppy disks, and
video. Refer to the STAR SYSTEM operating manual for configuration and operating instructions.
