README.GBR for ATonce-Plus-Software version 3.62 - February 1991
=============================================================================
THE INFORMATION IN THIS FILE MUST BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE THE AT-EMULATOR
IS PUT INTO OPERATION FOR THE FIRST TIME !
ATTENTION: IF YOU WANT TO OPERATE THIS SOFTWARE TOGETHER WITH AN ATONCE
(8MHZ) YOU HAVE TO READ ALL FILES WITH THE EXTENSION 'GBR' IN
THE UPDATE FOLDER. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FILE IS IN
THAT CASE MEANINGLESS.
=============================================================================
Contents of the README.GBR file:
1. Contents of the ATonce-Systemdisk
2. ATonce-Plus and the 16MHz clock
3. ATonce and ATonce-Plus
4. The configuration file ATONCE.CFG
5. Activate the Greek Screen-Fonts
1. The ATonce-Plus system folder contains the following files and folders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folder GREEK.FNT:
LFONT - Greek Screen-Font (to use this font, this file must
be in the same directory as ATONCE.PRG; if ATonce is

into the Root-directory)
HFONT - ------------------------"--------------------------
GFONT - ------------------------"--------------------------

ACSI.H - Includefile for the DOS DMA-Interface
DEMO.ASM - small demo program for the use of the DMA-Interface
DEMO.EXE - executable program
GEMDOS.EXE - leave the AT-Emualtor - back to TOS-operation
HCON.EXE - enable HyperCache
HCOFF.EXE - disable HyperCache
SSCR.EXE - switches on SoftScroll
HSCR.EXE - switches on HardScroll
CLICK.EXE - switch keyclick on/off
Folder HYPERSWI.TCH:
SWITCH.ACC - Accessory for HyperSwitch
SWITCH.RSC - Help file for SWITCH.ACC
HSWITCH.OVR - Help file for SWITCH.ACC
2. ATonce-Plus and the 16MHz clock
----------------------------------
ATonce-Plus is clocked with 16MHz. This clock is not available at the
68K CPU socket. ATonce-Plus is connected via a short wire (see manual)
with the Shifter IC.
We CANNOT guarantee a proper functioning of ATonce-Plus if other expansions
also use the Shifter IC`s 16MHz clock !!
3. ATonce and ATonce-Plus
-------------------------
To configure the emulation software with ATonce (8MHz), or with
ATonce-Plus (16MHz) use the menu MODE in the INSTALL.PRG program.
ATTENTION: when you choose ATonce-Plus with the 8MHz version or ATonce with
the 16MHz version, the system will crash, when you try to start it.
4. The configuration file ATONCE.CFG
------------------------------------
INSTALL.PRG generates from version 3.2 (version-number of INSTALL.PRG !)
a file called ATONCE.CFG.
This file contains all configuration data.
ATONCE.PRG (version 3.56 or higher) is able to load this file during
startup.
The advantage of this file is, that when you update your system with a
new emulator-software you do not have to install everything anew. Simply
copy your ATONCE.CFG file into the ATonce system-folder (which contains
ATONCE.PRG and INSTALL.PRG).
Note:
If ATONCE.CFG already exists it is renamed to ATONCE.OLD.
5. Activate the Greek Screen-Fonts
----------------------------------
Best wishes to our Greek friends !
To use under DOS the Greek Screen-Fonts copy the files
HFONT, LFONT, GFONT and SFONT from the GREEK.FNT
into the same folder which contains ATONCE.PRG.
If ATonce is loaded via the AUTO-Folder, all 4 files must be copied into
the Root-directory of the corresponding drive.
