Shortcut 2000 Editor Owner's Manual
To determine the current version of code that Shortcut is running, and whether it is
Softcode or ROM code, press Dir, key, then hold the A
LT
key and press V.
Softcode will normally be retained through a Format Internal Hard Disk operation.
Before the Format operation, the Soft Code file is loaded into memory, and is replaced on the
hard drive when the Format is completed. In the event that the internal hard drive must be
replaced, the Softcode will also have to be replaced.
To install Softcode on the Shortcut:
1.
Turn off power to the Shortcut. Connect a Zip drive (Zip 100 SCSI, Zip Plus 100 or Zip
250 SCSI) to Shortcut. (If you have used this Zip drive with your Shortcut in its current
configuration, skip to the next step.) The Zip drive must be set to SCSI ID 6 using the
switch on its rear panel. This must be set with the power to the Zip drive turned off.
Termination should be On unless the Shortcut is a unit with a Version 1 main board
∗
, then
termination should be Off.
2.
Turn on power to the Shortcut while holding its S
TOP
key. Continue to hold the S
TOP
key
until the lamp test sequence is finished and the display shows the Special Startup Menu.
3.
Press the 5 key or select the item 5. INSTALL SOFT CODE and press E
NTER
.
4.
Insert the Soft Code disk into the Zip drive and press E
NTER
again. Any existing Softcode
version will be replaced by the new version.
5.
The display will confirm that the operation was successful by displaying:
INSTALLATION COMPLETE
TURN POWER OFF THEN ON TO USE SOFT CODE
OR PRESS ‘ENTER’ TO USE SOFT CODE LATER
6.
Turn power off, wait 15 seconds and turn power back on. The version number of the newly
installed Soft Code should be displayed during the power up sequence.
Soft Code is a small file that is kept on the hard drive (it only takes up about 2 seconds
worth of audio recording space.) When Shortcut boots up, the setup file is checked to see if
Soft Code is enabled. Then the Soft Code file is loaded into RAM memory, and the normal
operation of the unit is transferred to that copy of the program.
If it is ever necessary to disable Soft Code operation, the Special Startup Menu has an
item 4. DISABLE SOFT CODE that allows this. When Soft Code is disabled, this item
becomes 4. ENABLE SOFT CODE. You must cycle the power after these operations for them
to take effect.

To check the hardware revision number, press the D
IR
key, then hold the A
LT
key and press V.
