Setting the Configuration Register

If the operating system S5-DOS has never run on your PG, you must set the configuration regis-
ter of the PG using the test diskette. You must enter the memory capacity, the drive configura-
tion and other important PG characteristics in the configuration register to be able to inform
various programs (e.g. S5-DOS) of the hardware configuration. To set the configuration register,
you must insefi the test diskette supplied with the PG in drive A: and start the PG either by turn-
ing on the power or by using the key switch. Answer the prompt "CHANGE CONFIGURATION?"
with "Y" and then mak the appropriate information with "+" and the incorrect information with
"-". Once you have answered all the questions, you can remove the test diskette and continue
with PC P/M after a cold restart. The content of the configuration register is retained even when
power is switched off.
