The host PC must be running INTERLNK, which is part of MSĆDOS 6.x. Load
INTERLNK as a device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file, using this statement:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\INTERLNK.EXE /DRIVES:4
The above statement should be inserted at the end of the CONFIG.SYS file
(after any other statement that creates a drive letter) and assumes that MSĆDOS
6.x is in the C:\DOS directory on the host PC. The
/DRIVES:4
" parameter
allows the mapping of four drives between the host PC and the HHC.
Begin at the NORAND UTILITIES LOAD PROGRAMS/DATA menu, on your
HHC. You may need to force the HHC to start from the ROM Drive (D:) by
activating the reset switch (see the
Setup for PC Development
paragraph, in this
section, for position of reset switch).
Then press and hold the
[F4]
key (6200 Computer) or the
[Next]
key (6300
Computer) while the startup messages are displayed. This action brings up a
menu that allows selection of the startĆup drive. Select
[

to start from ROM
Drive (D:).
1. Press
[Enter]
at the main menu to advance to the LOAD

3. Create a RAM drive on the HHC:
"
For the 6200 Computer:
The RAM drive is 960 KB. If you already have a RAM drive that is
smaller, you may want to continue, to reformat with a larger size.
"
For the 6300 Computer, the RAM drive is 2 MB.
4. After completion, return to the
LOAD PROGRAMS/DATA
menu and select
option

.
5. Establish the INTERSVR connection to the host PC, using:
"
For the 6200 Computer, a 6210 Single Dock and cable or a
6210ĆtoĆserialĆport cable.
"
For the 6300 Computer, a PEN*KEY 6000 Series
computerĆtoĆserialĆport cable.
6. Copy all the files from the uniquely named directory on the host PC to the
RAM drive (C:) on the HHC. This could be one of the following (for
example, C:\PK6210\FLASH, C:\PK6200\FLASH, C:\PENKEY\FLASH,
etc.), whatever name you have chosen:
"
For the 6200 Computer:
C:\PK6200\FLASH
"
For the 6300 Computer:
C:\PENKEY\FLASH
To identify the host PC drive that corresponds to the RAM drive on the
HHC, type INTERLNK" at the DOS prompt.
C:\>INTERLNK
A chart, like the following example, is displayed (files are copied to drive H):
