I17Hndlr.exe - Octagon Systems XE–700 Reference Manual

I17HNDLR.EXE

Purpose
This support command is an alternate way to use the INT 17h functions when the
extended BIOS area is disabled (i.e., the switch at the "X" position is Off at Switch
4). Also, use this support command to reprogram the extended BIOS area with
another BIOS.
Syntax
I17HNDLR
Remarks
This command is used if the extended BIOS area (D8000–DFFFF) is not used. The
I17HNDLR allows the system to use the INT 17h functions.
PHLASH.EXE
Purpose
This support command will program a BIOS image from a floppy drive or a
subdirectory to the 512K flash EEPROM.
Syntax
PHLASH
Remarks
Phlash.exe must have two files that are located the same directory as the
Phlash.exe file. These files are BIOS.ROM, a 256K BIOS image, and platform.bin,
a support file that locates the BIOS.ROM file in the 512K flash EPROM. These
files can be found on the Octagon Product CD. Phlash.exe must be run with the
video enabled on the target system, and HIMEM.SYS must be disabled. The
PHLASH.EXE command will only work with DOS.
