No Boot Device Found
For information on initializing a bootable Flash disk, refer to
Appendix B, System Reference.
To install a DOS operating system using a floppy disk drive,
perform the following procedure. Please note that the
floppy drive must be specially modified by CITADEL to
operate with the TouchStar system. Please contact CITADEL
COMPUTER directly.
1. Remove power from the system to turn it off. Unplug
the TS9000 system’s wall-mounted power supply, or
turn off the power switch on the TS9000’s power
converter.
2. Attach a floppy drive to the LPT1 parallel port on the
rear panel of the TouchStar. If there is no keyboard
connected to the TouchStar, attach one to the KEY-
BOARD connector on the rear panel.
3. Insert a bootable disk in the floppy drive.
4. Power up the TouchStar unit again.
5. Press CTRL-ALT-S on the keyboard to go into the Setup
Mode.
6. In the Disks menu, set the drive for a 1.44MB diskette.
7. Select Save and reboot in the Exit menu.
DOS will now boot.
• Loading DOS Applications
FLASH Disk
Standard DOS applications can be developed and tested on
a floppy or hard disk and then conveniently moved onto the
FLASH disk.
The FLASH disk can be loaded with DOS or another suitable
operating system to serve as the system boot device. This
allows programs to be executed without the need to boot from
a floppy drive or other external disk drive.
