APEX 104
Flash Disk
The on-board FLASH can be configured to appear to the system as a read only
720KB or 1.44MB floppy disk. Use the Extended Setup program to enable the
FLASH as either drive A or drive B.
In order to copy files onto the FLASH first take a blank
formatted diskette. Copy the files required on the FLASH disk onto this diskette.
Once all the required files are assembled on the diskette run the program
PROGFLSH.EXE, found on the APEX UTILITIES disk - the command line for
this program is PROGFLASH <src. drive> , where src. drive is the source drive
of the floppy diskette containing the files to be copied on the FLASH Disk.
PROGFLASH will copy from the diskette onto the FLASH Disk. The FLASH
Disk is now ready for use.
For APEX systems which contain no floppy drives, a utility is provided which
copies data from a floppy disk on a remote PC.
The program PFREMOTE.EXE operates in exactly the same way as
PROGFLAS.EXE except the disk is copied from another computer connected to
the APEX via a serial cable.
To use PFREMOTE the host system must be prepared by loading the Remote
Disk Server REMSVR.SYS.
Add the line :
DEVICE = REMSVR.SYS <port>
to the CONFIG.SYS file, add ,port. to specify the serial port the host will use to
communicate with the APEX.
Now load the program SERVER.EXE on the host system.
Connect COM1 on the APEX to the host serial port (the cable should cross TX
and RX, no modem control signal need be connected).
