TELEVIDEO- Set to true if terminal type is Televideo 925 or
Qume QVT-108.
QUME102 - Set to true if terminal type is Qume QVT-102. The QVT-
102 is also a terminal without RAM paging capability.
CompuPro has not implemented buffered console screen
switching for this terminal, but it has implemented
code which does a clear screen and homes the cursor
after a screen switch.
PCBRD - Indicates presence of PC Graphics Board. Set to false
unless PC Graphics Board documentation indicates
otherwise.
CONBUFF - This is a value indicating how much memory to allot for
a console screen buffer. It is only significant if the
Z-19 equate is true or if you are developing console
buffering for a terminal other than those supported by
ComnpuPro.
Any equates in GLOBAL.EQU that are not explained above are not
intended for change by CompuPro at this time.
Editing the HEADENTR.A86 File
There are four basic areas which you might need to change in the
HEADENTR.A86 file:
1. Floppy disk specify bytes
2. SYSTEM SUPPORT I I/O port reinitialization string
3. I/O character device mapping tables
4. Terminal definition tables
These areas are explained below:
1. The floppy disk specify bytes are equates which determine
the step rate for both 5.25" and 8" floppy disks. Here are
explanations of the equates:
SRT8 - 8" floppy drive step rate. Set to "16 - 4" by VIASYN
for a step rate of 4 ms. The number subtracted from 16
is equal to the resultant step rate.
SRT5 - 5" floppy drive step rate. Set to "16 - 3" by CompuPro
for a step rate of 3 ms. Same formula as for SRT8.
2. The SYSTEM SUPPORT I is first initialized by the loader and
then reinitialization by the XIOS. The bytes for the second
initialization are represented in binary form on the fourth page
of the HEADENTR.A86 file. The programming comments in the code
explain clearly the functions of the bytes. For information on
how the bytes can be changed, consult the SYSTEM SUPPORT I
Technical Manual.
