These

files comprise the

installation routine (INSTALL.EXE,

INSTALL.DAT,

PATCHFMT.EXE,

PREPARE.BAT, and SHELL.BAT), the Plus

Development

fixed disk

menu program (HCD*.*), and supplemental

utilities (LIGHT.COM and SOUND.COM).

Once the HardCard has been physically installed in

the computer,

the

user

boots the

system with PC-DOS/MS-DOS (from the floppy

drive),

runs SYS.EXE (which is named SYS.COM on Equity MS-DOS) to

transfer the o/s to the HardCard,

then copies several DOS files

to the root directory of C:. The user then

invokes INSTALL.EXE

which

runs an 8-10 minute "hands-off" procedure that fully

prepares the HardCard for use.

This consists of partitioning and

formatting, and loading their

menu program and preparing it for

auto execution.

For Equity "power users" who are comfortable with MS-DOS, and who

don't wish to use the Plus-supplied menu program, they can set up

the HardCard by simply copying

the Plus

files to a formatted

floppy diskette, and then using HDPART and HDFORMAT in the normal

fashion (Equity II users should run SETUP.COM first to make sure

that drive C:

is properly specified - for the HardCard, it should

be set as

"Not installed or other").

Users may want to copy the

LIGHT.COM and SOUND.COM utilities back to the HardCard, as these

files control visual

and audible signals that are used to

indicate HardCard access.

The visual indicator is a flashing "+"

sign at the upper right of the display (defaults to

ON),

and the

audible indicator is a buzzing sound (defaults to OFF). However,

if the user would like to set up the HardCard as though

the Plus

installation was

performed

(i.e.

complete with their "shell"),

then they should manually duplicate the Plus routine, as detailed

in the following section.

This procedure was outlined by the

Plus Development technical

staff, and I have substituted the

alternate commands that the Equity MS-DOS uses.

Note that, while some of the steps seem redundant, the procedure

was designed so that disk swapping on a

single floppy system

would be minimized,

and also for automatic operation.
