    Osai A-B 8600

    Hello,
    Does anyone know something about FCRSYS for A-B 8600 Osai. Namely I have a problem to force the machine to load data from Tape reader instead mass storage, since HDD is dead and I have BTR which emulates reader and they says that drip feed works perfectly.

    Thank you in advance

    Hope it helps

    Loading from Punched Paper Tape Using a Reader
    This procedure requires the activation of the paper tape
    reader driver.
    If the connection is made with the system CPU, write the
    following minimum FCRSYS:

    *2
    XAREAD, 09,0,3
    *

    If the connection is made with the display board, write the
    following minimum FCRSYS:

    *2
    XAREAD,09,1,3
    *





    Loading from a Magnetic Cassette
    This procedure requires the activation of the magnetic
    cassette reader driver.

    following minimum FCRSYS:

    XATEAC,OB,0,3
    *

    If the connection is made with the display board, write the
    following minimum FCRSYS:

    Thank you. It is helpful . Just one more thing! Do you maybe know anything about running a code from punched tape directly since there is only 64 K of user memory and I need even 5 Mb. Thanks, Nebojsa

    Try it in FCRSYS

    *4
    /PRO
    /DYO
    IS0



    -------------
    /PRO is punched tape device
    /DYO and IS0 are optional, I`m not sure.

    Hi,

    I need help on the following issue with OSAI 8600 with Herbert Preoptive 8 Lathe.

    I was able to fix some of the hardver problems and startup the OSAI 8600
    controller.

    I am trying to do a "System Clearout"

    which means that some of the memory segments have to be erased.

    I have got the following message during the process

    ""

    FILMS1 29 OUT OF MEMORY. this means that " A non existing address has
    been addressed with the DEBUG utility".

    I have typed the correct memory segment (using the manual) and it is giving this
    error message.

    Please help me on this or tell me who can I turn to related to my issue.


    Thanks

    Ferenc

    8600 tape loading

    As standard the 8600 can load memory from tape but cannot run from tape directly. If you have a BTR unit then that is not OSAI system so I'm afraid you are on your own. OSAI can supply HDU system.
