The fourth column lets you assign physical to logical devices. Within
EOS, there are five physical devices defined:
CON IN: - Keyboard
CONOUT: - CRT screen
LSTOUT:
- Printer
AUXIN: - Auxiliary device, input
AUXOUT: - Auxiliary device, output

assign a physical device to, let's say, the printer, you move the inver-

SET transfers the assignment into the operating system, where it
remains valid until the next cold start.
SAVE
QUIT
permanently stores the assignment in the operating system.
For this purpose, the system load diskette must be inserted
into the right mini disk drive. $DEVICE then modifies the
file "SYSVAR.SYS" on this disk, so that the newly configured
