BOOTDX.DOC -- Changes from V1 to V2(15)
November 1976
1.0 SUMMARY
BOOTDX is a bootstrap program which is used for loading the DX10
micro-code from the DSK:. BOOTDX runs in user-mode under a
DECsystem-10 timesharing system. It requires 2K of memory but expands
for I/O buffers. BOOTDX does I/O instructions directly to the DX10
hardware. For this to work, the BOOTDX job must have privileges for
the TRPSET function of the timesharing system.
2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES
BOOTDX has been changed to read either .BIN files or .A8 files. It
also does an automatic clear before loading.
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
None outstanding.
4.0 INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS
The complete operating procedures for BOOTDX can be found in:
a) BOOTDX.RNO
b) BOOTDX.HLP
5.0 INTERNAL CHANGES

6.0 SUGGESTIONS
