17. WRITING A NEW 10SYS TAPE

Maxc1 only. If any system files have been changed, they should exist on the Nova disk prior to beginning the following procedure. It is assumed that all the normal system files are on the disk (if not, load them from the current 10SYS tape first).

A.Clean up the disk as much as possible by deleting scratch files and other extraneous junk.

B.Mount the new 10SYS tape on unit 0, with a write ring in it. (You must use magtape unit 0 for 10SYS tapes since DOS will not handle any other drive.)

C.Type:

XFER TBOOT.SV MT0:0; XFER MAXCSYS.SY MT0:1 <cr>
DUMP/A/V MT0:2 <cr>

D.Check that everything is written ok by typing:

LOAD/A/V MT0:2 <cr>

"File already exists" should be printed for every file.

E.Remove write ring. Label tape jacket as follows:

0 TBOOT.SV
1 MAXCSYS.SY
2 *.*
<current date>
...
Current 10SYS
<tape number>

F.Change the label on the old 10SYS tape to read "Obsolete 10SYS <current date>".
