XETEC Lt. Kernal Operating Manual

READ ME FIRST
1-22-88
THANK YOU for purchasing the Lt. Kernal. Please read the follow­
ing before proceeding.
1. Make sure that all functions of your computer system are working
properly before adding the Lt. Kernal Disk drive to your system
because any problems that your system might have, could be seen
as Lt. Kernal problems after it is installed.
2. READ the Lt. Kernal manual thoroughly before doing any installa­
tion. Do not assume anything. See Section II, pages 2-1 through 2-20.
3. Do not attempt any of the installation work with the power on. Do
not connect anything to your computer with the power on.
4. When doing the internal hook-up on your computer, DOUBLE
CHECK the connections before closing the computer.
5. If all of the above has been done properly, you are ready to continue
with the steps in the manual to bring your Lt. Kernal to life. See Sec­
tions m and on.
6. Most problems encountered on an initial system boot are due to hav­
ing a C-128 computer system set for an 80 column display. This will
result in a Commodore sign-on message with no apparent activity from
the Lt. Kernal. This is due to the fact that the Lt. Kernal is shipped
to boot-up in the 64 mode (40 column display). Simply make sure
that both the monitor and computer are set to 40 column operation
OR change the boot-up default to C-128 mode with the CONFIG
command.
7. If you have carefully followed the instructions, your Lt. Kernal should
be running and ready for your use. If it is not functioning, re-check
the installation and refer to the Trouble Shooting section of the manual.
8. After you have the system running, become familiar with it before
making changes. Learn how to use the simple commands before at­
tempting a system CONFIGuration, for example.
9. DO NOT DO a SYSGEN unless absolutely necessary. Read the
REPLACEMENT pages 2-25 and 2-26 tided THE SYSGEN UTILI­
TY to determine when and how to do a SYSGEN.
10. When making changes, record the condition the system was in prior
to making the changes.
11. Most Users get into trouble assuming. Make sure you know what you
are doing, and then question the need to do it.
12. If you have any doubts, call us or check into the BBS for help. The
BBS is listed on page A-7 of your manual.
13. If possible, save the box and packing material your unit was shipped
in. This box was designed to safely ship the Lt. Kernal.
