 a)  OC iS-DOS  preferably 1997 or
at least the second half of 1996. Then you have
up to 8 block blocks will be available simultaneously
devices, not 6, as in earlier versions.
T.o. You can leave 1 or 2 devices
TV on a floppy disk (enough, apparently
and one), and, optionally, use 1
device onto an electronic disk (if available)
after the hard drive, the electronic disk is no longer
as obligatory in isdos as without it,
because  hard drive is many times faster
superior to a floppy drive).  So you have left
There are from 5 to 7 devices for hard drive.
It is better to install a hard drive on a ZX type
KAY, Scorpion or Profi, i.e. those on
which comes iS-DOS Chic (iS DOS-256), ver-
this isdosa, which appeared in 1995. B
you won't have problems with shortages
memory. So for transit programs you have
will be 10-15KB more than in the classic
comisdos for ZX-48 and ZX-128.           
                               
 b)  Driver ide+.blk  and its customizer

 The controller is supplied with
boot floppy disk with iS-DOS'97 with everything
necessary for working with the hard drive.    
 In the case of a proprietary connection, the screws
tera to your KAY-256 you will get the settings
A new boot floppy disk with iS DOS Chic and
complete set of system with description and
help on the hard drive. To work you need
all you have to do is insert the floppy disk into the drive
and boot from it.                     
 If you want to connect a hard drive
in despair themselves...                         
                               
 INSTALLING A HARDWARE IN iS DOS 
                               
 1. Boot from the included disk.    
                               
 2.  Download the driver ide+.blk, what for
open the SERVICE directory, bring up the
sor to the file ide+.blk and click.  
                               
 3.  In the same directory, call mem_tu-
ne.bat.  If everything goes well, then
in the right window you will see the parameters of your
Winchester.  If the program hangs,
then apparently you have some kind of hardware problems -
Lems with connecting a hard drive. We can
I advise you to change the hard drive. Sometimes
can. Next, try to configure in the
in the window, the number of heads, sectors and digits
lindrov.  Values in some cases
can be taken from autodetect (right ok-
but).  Often you need to enter something completely
other.  So, let's say the Conner screw is 40MB
gives on the right: 2 heads per 40 sectors per
1053 cylinders. Configure the driver to
up to 5 heads, 17 sectors, 977 cylinders
ditch.  Otherwise it will read
only cylinder 0 (34 blocks). Can you give
the will of your imagination, but it’s better to advise -
hang out with people familiar with this Winchester
rum  In the same customizer, set the
measure of cylinders, initial for 8 installations -
swarms The program itself will try to determine
Pour device size (right column
left menu). Device size in iS DOS
must not exceed 65528 blocks (16 MB).
First decide how much you want
have devices on the hard drive.If you have
the systemiS DOS Chic does not work (say,
on ZX-128 or ATM), do not do very
large devices, limit the size
in 8..10 MB, otherwise there may not be enough memory
program arzt+ (use_only_the most
NEW__version__from__11.11.97!!).  I personally
I broke my Conner like this: 8+8+8+8+4+4=40.
Convenient to have copies of devices just in case
case.  After completing the driver setup
don't forget to click SAVE.                 
                               
 4.  In the catalog UTILUTILb find the
device swarmer dev.com. With his help
"bind" devices to their drivers.
For example: sys_driv: A                   
          ed128gam: H                   
          ide+: B..G                    
                               
 5. Try to open the device on
0th cylinder of the hard drive. The norm should
be error 87. If, when accessing
everything freezes on the hard drive, then most likely
the problem is in the hardware.                   
                               
 6.  Try to create isdos volumes on
hard drive with the program create.com (in the catalog
log SERVICE).  Install correctly
device size ("Dev Size" in the right
window).  Take the sizes suggested
driver driver ide_tune. Optionboot
can be set to the mode "No Voot" (seco-
homute 4-8 blocks). Main catalog (Sat
Size)  better make it bigger (8 blocks
or even 16) and better continuous (will
work faster).  Be sure to enable
device reading check when creating
("Check Y"  in the left window). Option "Exist"
must be able "ask". Run
process: "Create". In the appeared nocepe-
in Dina's small window they should flash
a few blocks. If everything is OK, after half
minutes the first device will be ready.
If you nobuchete, then either something happens
it was said, or one of two things: incorrect
configured the number of screw sector heads or
this device does not like to connect to this
Sinclair through this controller, i.e.
the problem is in the hardware.                   
                               
 7.  Repeat the last operation on all
other hard drive devices.        
                               
 8.  The system configured in this way with
configured driver installed in it
save the hard drive with the program sv.com on
boot diskette. It's better if you dry
pahute old fileis_dos.sys just in case
fireman or just as a keepsake. For this
or rename before calling sv.com
old file, or copy the entire disk.
After saving to the system disk, connect
read it to the loader with the command "sv is" fromteam monitor.                     
                               
 9.  And now you can fill your screw
all sorts of junk. The program will help you with this.

nal catalogues. Others may be useful
copying programs.                   
                               
 10. It is useful to place in the autoexec file
the following lines:
