CREATE .CON FILE
This is the console setup defaults file. You can create one for each console and PC by copying
CONSOLE.NEW which is installed with the software. So for console1, create CONSOLE1.
CON at DOS by doing:
copy CONSOLE.NEW CONSOLE1.CON
Problems Starting the Software
If the console freezes or gives errors over the startup screen. In the unlikely event of the show
data becoming corrupt, the console can be completely cleared down by either deleting all the
DAT files using 220 CLEAN.BAT, or by clearing the Whole Show and setup together at the
Archive clear display.
To get to DOS during start up, press Ctrl and Break together as soon as the start up screen
appears. Enter Y at the prompt 'Terminate Batch Job' (Y/N)
Fitting RAM Memory
Software version 2.2 and later require more than 16Mb of RAM (memory) for the 'i' software
version to run. The non-'i' version 2.2 operating software will still run in 8Mb of RAM. All
consoles have at least 8Mb, but a few early 'i' consoles had 16Mb. To see how much memory
your console has, watch the screen messages at powerup (eg '8192 kbytes tested ok'
indicates 8Mbytes installed).
If you have only 4Mb in a non-'i',or 16Mb on an i console, you must upgrade to at least 8Mb
(old electronics) or 16Mb (new electronics) or 32Mb for i consoles BEFORE installing this
version of software. Strand Service (or your supplier) will upgrade your console - contact them
for details.
You can run the non-'i' software version in an 'i' console which only has 16Mb of RAM.
