APPLE CAT FIRMWARE INSTALL/COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
To install the chip, Unplug your Cat
|
|
from your Apple and the phone line.
|
|
There should be a large, empty 24 pin
|
|
socket near the upper-right corner of
|
|
the card, directly below the four
|
|
switches. This is where you'll plug in
|
|
the chip. One end of the chip should
|
|
have a small notch or identification
|
|
on top of it. Turn the chip so the
|
|
notched end is to the left. Very
|
|
carefully insert the chip into the
|
|
socket being sure that all the pins
|
|
are going in their corresponding holes.
|

POWERING UP
|
|
|
|
The first time you use your Apple Cat
|
|
after turning the machine on, the
|
|
firmware goes through several initial-
|
|
ization routines, including reading the
|
|
status of the switches, placing the
|
|
card out of terminal mode, and setting
|
|
the speed of your modem to 300 baud.
|
|
This information is then stored in
|
|
memory, and is remembered even after
|
|
you press reset. From time to time you
|
|
may want to force the Apple Cat firm-
|
|
ware to go through the initializing
|
|
again (e.g. if you change a switch on
|
|
the card or press 'reset' while you
|
|
are in terminal mode). This can be done
|
|
by the BASIC command (either from
|
|
program or directly) of POKE 2040+ (the
|
|
Apple Cat slot #),0. For example, if
|
|
your card is plugged into slot two, you
|
|
must do a POKE 2042,0. If this is done
|
|
before a PR#2 or an IN#2, the card will
|
|
think that it's the first time you've
|
|
talked to it today.
|
|
|
|
THE APPLE CAT 212 CARD:
|
|
|
|
If you have a 212 card, it must be
|
|
configured for solitaire mode, which
|
|
means the chip labeled "Z9" must be
|
|
removed from its socket. Also, you
|
|
must set the option switches on the
|
|
212 board as follows:
|
|
|
|
#1 - off
|
|
#2 - on
|
|
#3 - on
|
|
#4 - on
|
|
#5 - on
|
|
|
|
This will tell the 212 card that you
|
|
are using the standard ten bits per
|
|
character format (one start bit, one
|
|
stop bit, and eight data bits). You
|
|
may configure the 212 card for nine
|
|
bits per character by turning switch
|
|
one on and switch two off.
|
|
|
|
Connect the eleven pin ribbon between
|
|
the 212 card and the Apple Cat and
|
|
insert the 212 card into any open slot
|
|
in your Apple.
