Hook the cable from the S/10 aux port to the serial port on the back of the whisper printer. Normally the side of the cable marked PA should go to the S/10 and the side marked PB should go to the whisper printer. The switch on the back of the whisper printer should be set to the standard interface position. If the printer works in self test mode and you can see data being transmitted from the S/10 to the printer using the traffic light, but the printer does not print on line, make sure the baud rate is set correctly.

The new version has two advantages over the old version: o The new formatter is self-loading, therefore the use of CPM to load the formatter is no longer required. o The new formatter allows the user to enter the disk capacity of the drive to be formatted. The old formatter determines the capacity by itself, sometimes erroneously. To use the new formatter, just insert the diskette in the floppy drive, the program will load and print the monitor menu as follows: 4005 HARD DISK DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM - REVISION B01*04.08 1. DISK DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM 2. FORMAT UTILITY PROGRAM 3. TOGGLE PRINTER--CURRENTLY (OFF) The heading in the menu identifies the new revision level B01*04.08. The old formatter was revision level 1.1*12. All new orders will be filled with the new version. ORIGINATOR: J.

Do a GET from sector one and read it. It should contain the hard disk number it came from and the sequence number of the disk ie."HB02001=HARDBACKUP" from Disk 02 and Sequence Number 001. Then GET and read sector two,it should contain the hard disk name that it is to be restored too. In the restore program you must select the disk number you are restoring from and the number you are restoring to as the same number like from Drive Four to Drive Four when really you are restoring from Floppy one to Hard Drive Four in this case.
