If you wish to make the SSD bootable, you must format it using the /s switch of the format command.
Refer to your DOS manual for more information on the format command.
If you wish to boot from the SSD, run Setup again and set the boot device to SSD.
Notes on Formatting an SRAM or NOVRAM SSD
For most purposes, you can format the SRAM or NOVRAM SSD as you would a 1.44MB floppy,
using a command line similar to:
format b: /u
To get the most possible space in the disk and ensure proper operation, use the format command with
a size parameter just over the total size of the installed SSD memory. For example, if you install
256Kbytes of SRAM, you should use format with the parameters for a 360Kbyte floppy disk. For
example:
ROM-DOS:format b: /u /n:9 /t:40
MS-DOS:format b: /f:360K
See your DOS manual for details on the format command and its parameters.
Installing a Conventional SSD using EPROM
EPROMs for an SSD must be programmed externally to the cpuModule, using an EPROM program-
mer and following the procedure below.
To install an EPROM SSD, you should follow this procedure:
• Apply power to the cpuModule and run Setup.
• If you are using the device in socket U1, set SSD Device in U1 to the appropriate
device type.
• If you are using the device in socket U2, set SSD Device in U2 to the appropriate
device type.
• Set SSD Window to a value which will not conflict with other hardware or software.
• Save your changes and exit Setup.
• On the cpuModule or another computer, format a floppy disk and copy onto it the
files you wish to copy to the SSD. If you wish to boot from the SSD, you must
format with the '/s' switch to copy system files. See your DOS manual for details
of the format command.
• Boot the cpuModule and start the SSD program. Select settings appropriate for the
chosen EPROMs.
• Select the Binary File "construct" option and then Start execution; the program will
create an EPROMx.BIN file for each EPROM.
NOTE! The memory window selected for DOC must not be used by any other
program or hardware device. Make sure this window is not in use by
EMM386 or another memory manager, or an SSD, Ethernet card,
PCMCIA card, etc.
NOTE! Start with a blank, newly-formatted disk each time you transfer files.
You must copy files to the disk only one time, and must not delete,
re-copy, or rename files on the floppy disk.
