3.4.5 Combination of ROM and RAM Disk

The AR-B7041 can be configured as a combination of one ROM disk and one RAM disk. Each disk occupies a drive unit.

Step 1: Use jumper block to select the proper ROM/RAM configuration you are going to use.

Step 2: Insert the first programmed EPROM into the socket mem1, the second into the socket MEM2, etc.

Step 3: Insert the SRAM chips starting from the first socket assigned as SRAM.

Step 4: Select the proper I/O base port, firmware address and disk drive number on SW1.

Step 5: Turn on power and boot DOS from hard disk drive or floppy disk drive.

Step 6: Use the DOS command [FORMAT] to format the RAM disk.

C:\>FORMAT [RAM disk letter] /U

Step 7: If 5V FLASH (small page) is being used for the first time.

And then use the DOS command [FORMAT] to format the FLASH disk.

Step 8: If large page 5V FLASH is being installed for the first time, please use the FLASH programming utility RFG.EXE to program ROM pattern files.

NOTE: Users can only boot DOS from the ROM disk drive if the AR-B7041 is configured as a ROM and a RAM disk. You don’ t need to copy DOS onto the RAM disk.
