Getting Started
STD DOS Cable Requirements
If the STD DOS system is not a Stand Alone (SA) system, a serial
link is required between the ZT 8809A and a terminal or PC. Refer to
the STD DOS System Manual for cabling requirements.
The ZT 90039 optional printer cable is available from Ziatech for use
with a Centronics printer port. Install this cable into connector J6,
with the keying notch oriented to the inside of the board.
STD DOS Jumper Configuration
The ZT 8809A as shipped from Ziatech should be properly
configured for an STD DOS system if the board was ordered with the
STD DOS option. The following is a list of jumpers assigned at the
factory prior to shipment. Figure 2-2 on page 2-14 illustrates this
jumper configuration.
INSTALL:
W2, 3, 4A, 5B, 6A, 7B-9B, 10B, 11A, 12, 13A, 14,
15B, 17B, 18B, 19, 20, 21B, 22, 23-28, 29-34, 35A,
36A, 37, 38B, 39, 44A (top post) to left post of 40,
left post of 41 to left post of 42, right post of 42 to
43A (right post), 43B, 44B, 45B, 47B, 48, 49B, 50A,
52-55, 59-61, 63, 64B, 65A, 66, 67, and 68B.

Note: This configures sockets 7D1 and 9D1 for 128 Kbyte RAMs,
socket 3D1 for a 128 Kbyte ROM, and socket 5D1 for a 256 Kbyte
ROM. If a 640 Kbyte on-board RAM configuration is purchased,
W56 will be removed and W67 will be installed (if a 256 Kbyte ROM
device is used in socket 5D1). W68A must be installed to use a
512 Kbyte device in socket 7D1. See Appendix A for additional
information on jumpers W55-W59.
