PREPARING ZCMD FOR RCP/M USAGE (EPSON QX-10 AND CP/M B2.20) Installing ZCMD on the Epson QX-10 is a relatively easy task, especially when the ZCMD.HEX file is already prepared. The task is presented below as a series of numbered steps. Just execute each step in numerical order and no problems should be encountered. 1. Copy the following files to a seperate 'work' disk. a. STAT.COM b. DDT.COM c. CPM2.SYS (B2.2n) using COPYDISK to copy system tracks. d. SETUP.COM (for B2.2n) e. ZCMD.HEX 2. Use STAT.COM to make CPM2.SYS read-write: A>STAT CPM2.SYS $R/W 3. Use DDT.COM to load CPM2.SYS in memory: A>DDT CPM2.SYS ----------------------------------------------------- ++ STEP #4 IS *ONLY* FOR CPM B2.20 ++ 4. At the '-' prompt enter the following: S1FCD (screen will display following): 1FCD ED 00 (You enter the 2 zero's and then RETURN) 1FCE B0 00 (You enter the 2 zero's and then RETURN) 1FCF 3E . (You enter a dot and RETURN to end changes) ------------------------------------------------------- 5. At the '-' prompt enter the following: IZCPR.HEX (reads filename into FCB) R2800 (loads ZCPR.HEX at indicated offset) ^C (Enter control C to exit DDT) 6. Use SAVE command to save modified CPM2.SYS file: A>SAVE 205 CPM2.SYS For CP/M B2.20 A>SAVE 177 CPM2.SYS For CP/M B2.25 A>SAVE 196 CPM2.SYS For CP/M B2.26 7. Press the RESET button and ZCMD will become active and permanent. The A0> prompt should apppear if all went well. 8. SETUP must be evoked to set new defaults for the modified CPM. A0>SETUP (Set the following options): A. DISPLAY OPTION 3. BIT 7 MASKING DISABLED E. DISK SUBSYSTEM 1. DIAGNOSTIC ERROR MESSAGES DISABLED 2. STANDARD DISK ERROR RETRY DISABLED 3. RAM DISK AS DESIRED G. SERIAL PORT 2. LINE PROTOCOL NONE 6. BIT 7 MASKING DISABLED 7. INTERRUPT DRIVER DISABLED 9. Exit SETUP with 'P' option to make changes Permanent. 10. ZCMD is now ready for RCP/M usage.
