Installation of new run time files
If you are using the Modsoft programming software version 2.4 or 2.5, it
is necessary to update the following runtime files in order for Modsoft to
recognize your module. Versions prior to 2.4 are not supported. Version
2.6 and newer already include these updates.
LMSFDT.SYS
Zoom screens
GCNFTCOP.SYS
I/O Map module definitions
QUANTUM.SYS
Quantum help screens
This may be accomplished by first identifying the pathname where you
have installed your Modsoft programming software and the drive letter of
the floppy drive from which you intend to install. A typical pathname
assuming installation of the C: drive is as follows:
C:\MODSOFT
The new runtime files required to use all versions of this module are
supplied on the 3.5 inch MSDOS formatted floppy disk titled:
“Quantum Runtime Files,” Spectrum Controls, Inc Part Number: 20500121-xx
To install these files, operate your PC in MSDOS mode, perform the
following command:
C:>\COPY A:*.SYS C:\MODSOFT\RUNTIME
+ Note:
This assumes you are installing from drive A: and that you have previously installed
Modsoft in the directory C:\MODSOFT. If not, you must make the appropriate substitutions.

General information on data register usage and terminology:

go to the I/O Map screen and choose the 140 AxI 05x 00sc by selecting
the desired slot, pressing
available for configuration into that slot. For module specific help, press
level registers to be used. This will then automatically capture nine
consecutive 3x level and one 4x level register for use by the module. The
architecture for this 32-channel module is as follows:
