M8UPD-1.TXT - Update Number 1 for MDM830 The following has been brought to my attention by Harry M. Van Tassell: There is NO NEED for the MDM830 configuration utility as this can be done using PIP. The new precedure to configure MDM830 is now as follows: Assemble the overlay to MDM830 for your system using ASM86 and concatenate the resulting .H86 file to MDM8xx.H86 using PIP. E.G.: ASM86 M8GP-1 PIP MDM.H86=MDM830.H86,M8GP-1.H86 GENCMD MDM 8080 CODE[MFF0] similarly overlaying the Phone Number Overlay can be done by : ASM86 M8NM-30 PIP MDMNEW.H86=MDM.H86,M8NM-30.H86 GENCMD MDMNEW 8080 CODE[MFF0] I have tried this procedure before Harry told me it works and could not get it to create a proper CMD file. I found out why too! Here it is: NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A DUAL PROCESSOR SYSTEM SUCH AS COMPUPROS 8/16 SYSTEM OR THE DEC RAINBOW, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE 16 BIT VERSION OF PIP !! WHEN I FIRST EXPERIMENTED I HAD PIP.COM ON MY DEFAULT DRIVE AND PIP.CMD WAS NOT THERE... SO I ENDED UP WITH A CONCATENATED FILE ALRIGHT BUT THE END OF RECORDS RECORD WAS STILL IN THE NEW H86 FILE. SO I GUESS (DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE ??) THAT THE 16 BIT VERSION OF PIP TAKES H86 FILES AND TREATS THEM SPECIAL BY REMOVING THE LAST RECORD IN THE FIRST FILE !?! Alex Soya
