Page 14 Installation Instructions: AM-650 1/4" Streaming Tape Drive

PDI-00650-00, Rev. A00

Copying the Device Driver Program

You need to copy the 625DVR.DVR streaming tape driver file to the file name STR.DVR, so AMOS

can associate it with the device name (STR0:) you are going to put in your system initialization file. To

do so, type:

LOG DVR:

RETURN

COPY STR.DVR=625DVR.DVR

RETURN

As long as you are using AMOS 2.3A or later, the driver file 625DVR.DVR is compatible with

the AM-650.

Modifying the System Initialization Command File

To define the AM-650 to your computer, use the COPY command to make a copy of your system

initialization command file called TEST.INI. Then edit that copy using AlphaVUE or another text editor,

making the modifications described in the following sections. For example, you could use these

commands:

LOG SYS:

RETURN

COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI

RETURN

VUE TEST.INI

RETURN

NEVER modify the system initialization command file directly. Always make your modifications

in a copy of the file. When you have finished, use MONTST to test the new file. If it fails, you

can push the reset button to return to your standard initialization file. If the MONTST is

successful, you can then rename the test command file to AMOSL.INI or AMOS32.INI. If you

modify your AMOSL.INI or AMOS32.INI file directly and make a mistake, the system may not

boot at all!

For complete information about modifying your initialization file, see the

System Operator’s Guide to

the System Initialization Command File

MODIFYING THE TEST FILE

The DEVTBL statement in the system initialization command file tells AMOS which devices to look for

on the computer. As AMOS processes the DEVTBL command lines, it builds a device table in memory.

The file system consults the device table for device assignments. Every time you add a new device, like

your AM-650, to the system you must add it to the system device table.

Locate the DEVTBL statements in your TEST.INI and add one that looks like this:

DEVTBL /STR0

The slash preceding the device name lets AMOS know the device is non-sharable.
