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.
