OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION
•
This section of the manual contains information pertinent to
unpacking, installation, handling, and operation of the disk system.

2.1 UNPACKING THE DISK SYSTEM

Before unpacking the disk system, inspect the Shipping carton for
signs of external damage. /f the carton is damaged, caution
should be exercised when inspecting its contents. The contents and
all packing material should be removed from the carton. No
packing materials should be discarded until all the contents are
located. The carton should contain a Model Number D9060 or D9090
Disk System and a user's manual. If any item is missing, your
Commodore dealer should be notified.

2.2 AIR FLOW

Airt flow_ to ,aandir from the 09060 and D9090 disk systems must be un-

2.5 INSTALLATION

arcL1re:guIra :d bet:.;:77Vitb;h;oro

PET-to-/EEE cable, ?art Number 320101, should be used if the disk

system is be connected directly to the computer.
IEE.to-/ESE cable, Part Number 905080, should be used if the disk
system is to be °daisy chained" to another peripheral device, such as
the Commodore Model Nomber 4022 or any other suitably interfaced
printer.

C.swww.connuoeore.cat
The procedure for connecting the disk system to the computer is:
Step I: Power to the computer and all peripherials should be
turned off.

Step 2: The disk drive should be located as close as possible to

the computer.

Step 3: The PET-to-IEEE cable is connected between the 17,'EE-488

interface on the computer and the disk drive. I f
additional IEEE devices are to be connected, the IEEE-to-
IEEE cable(s) oust he used•
Step 4: The disk unit power cable should be connected to an A. C.
outlet at this time, but with its power switch turned off.

The disk system conforms to the IEEE-4Se interface requirement. It

which has a 6502 microprocessor that control. the IEEE-4n bus,
referred to as the IEEE processor (see Figure 1).
The DOS board has a second 6502 microprocessor that controls the SAST
interface communication to the Winchester controller board, referred
to as the SASI processor. Communication between the IEEE and SASI
processors is via a common accessible random access memory block.

The disk drive positions the recording heads over the desired track,
and reads or writes the data on it.

connection between the major assemblies within the disk system.

3.2 ME-488 INTERFACE LINES AND SIGNALS
The following sections contain a description of the IEEE-488 interface
It= eilifildaa.ng= t.r Itit::: . are two basic groups of lines; control

3.2.1 Control Lines

Remote Enable (REN)

The Remote Enable tine can be activated only by the host system
controller. By having a grounded pin, which holds the REN line
permanently low (true), the host system enables this line, and bus
residing devices subsequently respond to the controller commands or to
those of another transmitting device (talker). If this Line is
allowed to become inactive (false), all bus residing devices return to
local control.
Note

On the Commodore computer, Pin 17 is always grounded in the host

system.

Service Request (SRO)

The Service Request line is a type of interrupt_ 1.ine, and it can ,be
%.:yt .;:yealev"e that "sid" on "e .

End or Identify (E0/)

The End or Identify line can be asserted by the controller-in-charge
or by a bus-compatible transmitting device. This line may be pulled
low (true) by a transmitting device during the transfer of its last
data byte in a multiple-byte message to signal the end of the message.
A transmitting device has the option of using Er.. However, SOI
ysblsd Us
ItrYlasIs CXtrthrOn: 'ingt76=tt107 lie Us... By
this same EOI signal line and the Attention (ATN) message, the
controller-in-charge initiates a parallel poll sequence.

Attention (ATN)
The ATN line is asserted only by the host system during the addressing
or command sequence. It can be activated low (true) only by the

tl'gotTZ-112g.Werlg'=1.:ev'gr',11e1=tiV=eTettn?ett sib
devices that signal levels, both true and false, present on the data
bus represent addresses and control messages for them.
When the ATN line is returned high, only the transmitting device.
and receiving devices previously activated take pArt in the subsequent
data exchange.
10
Interface Clear (IFC)

The Interface Clear line sends a reset signal that can be initiated
only by the host system controller.

;Then the host system is powered on or reset, this line is driven low
(true) for approximately 100 milliseconds by
the host internal reset
signal, and all bus devices are • returned or set to their idle
(inactive) states.

Data Valid (DAY)

The Data Valid line is asserted low (true) by

a transmitting device
after it places its data on the Data Input/Output lines. This tells
the receiving device that the information on the data lines is valid.

Not Ready For Data (NRFD)

The Not Ready For Data line, when asserted low (true), indicates that
not all devices On the General Purpose Interface Sus (GPIS) are ready
to receive data. Ranh instrument, in its own time, releases this
line. However, the line cannot return to its high (inactive)
state until the slowest responding device releases this line.

Not Data Accented (NDAC)

The aOt Data Accepted line is controlled by the device or devices

that receive the data. This line is held low (true) until all the
e rticular address or data byte, then

MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION
Preventive maintenance consists of visual inspection, cleaning and
checking the disk system performance. The severity of the environment
in which the disk system is used determines the frequency of mainte-

dissipation. Dirt saiso provides a conductive - electrical epath that can
cause system failure.

To clean the interior of the disk system, blow the dust off with
low pressure air, and remove the remaining dust with a soft brush or
soft damp cloth. Acotton tipped applicator is useful for
cleaning narrow spaces and printed circuit boards.

4.2 ?MAINTENANCE INSPECTION

Inspect the disk system for physical damage or wear, using Table 7 as
a guide.

4.3.1 External Troubleshooting Guide

Physical Examination
Check for any physical damage, especially that Which would indicate
the unit was dropped. If the unit appears to have been dropped, open
the system, see the replacement guide, and verify that all items are
in place.

Check the unit fuse. If blown, replace the fuse, and perform all
internal checks before proceeding.

Functional Test--Internal Self-test

Turn on the unit's power, and watch the front panel L. E. D's. The
L. E. D's should flash twice, then stay in the ready/guiescient
condition: unit status L. E. D. green, and drive access L. E. D.
off. If the unit passes the internal self-test, it is ready for a
system test.
If the unit L. E. D's are not on, proceed to the internal tests.
If the unit L. E. D's are flashing some number of flashes, followed
by a pause, forever repeating, the system is nonfunctional, and
Table 3 gives one an idea which circuit is inoperative on the DOS
board.
Note

Prior to changing the DOS board, proper voltage should be veriEied on

it. High voltage on the =5 volt lines also causes repetitive
flashing.

Replace the DOS board (see the replacement procedure section) or the
regulator board if the voltage is too high and cannot be adjusted (see
Table 4, page 6).

PROGRAM 1
This program assumes that the unit under test (UUT) is the only device
Number 8 on the IEEE-488 bus.

The correct response from the unit should be 73, CBM DOS V3 . 9, 00 , 00

If the response is good, the IEEE-488 communication is correct.

If the response is not correct, verify that the UUT is the only device
Number 8 on the IEEE-488 bus, and that the IEEE cable is properly
connected. If so, the IEEE-488 interface on the DOS board is non-
functional, and the DOS board should be replaced as specified in the
replacement procedure section.
