A colon ':' and pound '#' character are also necessary parts of the switch. Lowercase letters
represent a variable field that must be entered. Each switch may be separated by a space if
you so choose.
The switches may be written in random order except for switches that are linked together.
For example, a /S must be followed by either /#order or /sizeK, or both. Thus, a command
line such as VFLASH B: /M /S/#2/128K is valid, however, VFLASH B: /S/M/#2/128K is
not. The following list of options provides complete descriptions.
The first three options listed are not required to execute a disk. They can be used either in
Interactive Mode or Batch Mode.
[options]
/G:group Specifies how many Flash blocks will be grouped together as a cluster. The
Group Factor will set the smallest disk size available. Valid group values are
defined as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... and so on.
/M
Instructs VFLASH to use a monochrome display pattern. This option is useful
with LCDs, since it may be difficult to distinguish colors with such displays.
/VT100
This option allows a visual monitoring of the transfer operation in progress
while in VT100 mode. Use this switch when you make an onboard Flash disk.
The following options identify disk or file parameters to be executed in BATCH mode.
/B/bootdrive:
Makes the disk bootable by transferring the bootable files from the 'bootdrive'
specified. Note that the source should not be a Flash disk, since these are read-
only and write protected.
/E
Performs an external transfer by serial link to the remote system. This switch
must be present in order to use any of the next three options (/RATE, /COM2
and /R).
/rate
The value entered corresponds to the desired baud rate for transfer. Any one of
the following can be used: 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400. It is set at
19200 by default.
/COM2
This option instructs COM2 to be used instead of the default value COM1.
