Any other operating system that will run on a 386, 486 or Pentium-based desktop
computer should also run on the TP400. For example Windows 3.x, Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows NTE, and Windows CE 3.0 run successfully on
the TP400.
A number of other operating systems work well with the TP300. These include Linux,
QNX and VxWorks. Contact DSP Design if you are interested in these operating
systems.
Users who are running non-DOS operating systems, including Linux and Windows
95/98, may need to disable the Flash File System BIOS Extension using the BIOS
Setup program.

FLASH MEMORY PROGRAMMING
Flash programming utility programs provide facilities for programming data into the
Flash memory chip on the TP400. The programs can erase some or all of the Flash
chip, and can write a file from disk to the Flash chip. The most common use of these
programs is to safely program the BIOS image file into the Flash memory chip.
The Flash programming utility is normally used to write a new BIOS to the Flash
memory. It is not required to create the Flash File System disk in the Flash chip. Care
must be taken when using this program to program the Flash chip, since an error can
erase the BIOS, which means the TP400 will stop working. Should this happen the
TCDEVPLUS development system can be used to restore the contents of the Flash
chip. See the TCDEVPLUS Technical Reference manual for details.
By default a single 2M byte 29F016 Flash chip is installed. The TP400 can be fitted
with a second 2M flash chip, or with one or two 4M byte flash chips, as a special
order. Flash programming instructions vary, depending on the type of Flash chip
installed.
6.5.1 Programming the 2M byte 29F016 Flash Chips.
The following describes the process of programming the AMD or Fujitsu 29F016 chip
installed as standard on the TP400.
The 29F016 flash device is arranged as 32 sectors of 64k bytes each. Each sector is
erased separately, and it is not possible to erase less than 64k bytes at a time. The
TP3F016.EXE programming utility used to program the 29F016 device is available on
the TP400 Utility Disks.
The program can be run two ways - most commonly to safely program a BIOS image
file into the Flash chip, and also in a more flexible way, to allow any file to be
programmed at any location in the Flash chip.
