Hi All
Trying to upgrade my Rex using the below procedure I am up to step 4 and when I do this just tells me Ok and that is it. What am I doing wrong ? Regards Gordon O'Toole Steps to a happy upgrade 1. Start the upgrade from a cold booted laptop. While not necessary, it ensures the laptop is working nominally with no lurking problems. If you have important data please save your current RAM image to REX, and then to TPDD if needed. 2. Regarding your saved RAM images with important data saved within - please back those up to an external TPDD device using the SAVE function. In case there is a problem, you will be glad you did - it will ensure your data is safe should the REX directory get garbled. This takes only a few minutes. 3. Download the upgrade package, and place the 2 files in your favorite TPDD device or emulator so they are accessible to the LAPTOP. DELETE ANY PREVIOUS COPIES OF REXU1.CO and REX147.BR!!!! 4. Upload the program REXU1.CO to the laptop. Issue the command CLEAR0,59960 in BASIC so that REXU1.CO can run. 5. At the prompt, press Y to save your current SYSTEM to TPDD. It is recommended that you save your existing image just to be safe. Keeping the system image allows you to revert to that if something unforseen happens during the upgrade. Provide a unique filename (something like REXBAK to safely identify the system image backup. 6. At the prompt, proceed to upgrade the software image by pressing Y, or quit the application using N, Q or ESC. (N, Q and ESC are equivalent). Confirm your intention to upgrade the system by confirming with Y at the next prompt, or abandon using N. If you confirm the upgrade, the upgrade process will proceed by erasing the first 16k of the system image, containing the system software, and replacing it with the binary image REX147.BR stored on TPDD. Be careful to keep the laptop powered up during the flash process! REXU will load the new software into block 0, and copy the software to block 1, then it will restart REXMGR to complete the installation. DONE!
