INSTALLATION OF YOUR PARADOS ROM
PARADOS is supplied on a single ROM chip. This must be carefully inserted into any slot of
your Rom-box with the exception of slot 0. Ensure that your CPC is switched off before
fitting ANY chip in your Rom-box.
One of the most powerful features of PARADOS is that it can be fitted in ROM slot 7. It does
not require the AMSDOS ROM - PARADOS replaces it. With PARADOS in slot 7, you are given
more compatibility with programs.
The ROM can easily be damaged by fitting it into the Rom-box the wrong way. The < on the
ROM label should face a corresponding notch on the ROM socket of your ROM-box. If it does
not, then see where the notch on your other ROMs is located and fit PARADOS accordingly,
ensuring that no legs are bent or otherwise damaged. If you have ON-OFF switches on your
Rom-box, obviously the slot PARADOS is in should be switched ON. Treat all ROMS with
great care - they are delicate!
Once installed, switch your computer on, and a new message should appear:
PARADOS V1.0. (c) QUANTUM Computing.
If not, switch the computer off and check the fitting instructions again.
Enter |DRIVE to see the PARADOS program - the | is obtained by pressing SHIFT @.
CONVENTIONS
The menu system employed by PARADOS has many options. In this manual, these options
are denoted by their name with a capital letter. For example, the word Configure would
mean you need to press SHIFT C. The letters that you press are always inverse in the
menus. Configure has a sub-menu consisting of Drive and Format. Configure Format would
mean that you need to press SHIFT C F, hold down SHIFT, press C and then F.
