Guess I'll add my two bits worth...
To get the terminal emulator working you need to (and
I quote from the manual):
1. Insert the HP 4952A PROTOCOL ANALYZER UTILITY Disc
into the HP 4952A disc drive.
2. Press the "more" key unitl <Mass Store> key appears.
3. Press the <Mass Store> key.
4. Place the cursor on "TERM" and press <Load>.
5. Press <Execute> key to load Async Terminal Emulator
application program.
6. If the application loaded properly the HP 4952A display
should be as follows:
<insert picture of initial splash display here>
After the application is loaded, a new key appears in
the top-level menu (by pressing the <more> key) called
<Terminal>. This key accesses the Terminal Setup menu
where the terminal parameters can be set and the emulator
run.
That utility disc also has a "copy disc" utility that
can copy entire floppy discs, but your 4952A requires
the extended memory option (option 002) to be able to
do that. The original floppy is copied into memory, then
later copied from memory to the target disc.
The format on disc is LIF, HP's standard floppy disc format
back before MSDOS and FAT formatted floppies dominated the
world :-) Ordinary 1.44MB IBM formatted 2HD floppies work
just fine as target discs.
I own two discs for the 4952A:
- Utlity disc containing sample menus and data, copy disc
application, and async terminal emulator application.
This disc was originally included with the HP 18260A
interface pod.
- HP 18621A SNA Analysis disc.
Anybody out there have any of the other cool discs? ...
- HP 18263A 3270 Installation and Maintenance Software
- HP 18264A X.25 and SNA Level Link Level Statistics
- HP 18265A DDCMP Analysis
- HP 18266A Enhanced X.25 Analysis
Kenn
have the
- power up the 4952A
- insert the appropriate floppy into the drive
- press the "more" key until the "mass store"
