3-24. C O N TROL SOFTWARE
3-25. Control software for the 4085M is stored on either a 3-1/2 inch or a 5-1/4 inch
flexible disc furnished with the 4085M. This software is the only means of controlling the .
g
operations and self diagnostics function of the 4085M. Since the soItware is
switchin
written in BASIC, the BASIC 2.0 Language System must be loaded into the computer. For
details on the BASIC 2.0 Language System, refer to the program ming m anual of the 9 8 1 6
or 9836 Desktop Computer.
3-26. Copyright And Backup of System Software
3-27. Hewlett-Packard and Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard software (including software
updates), the logical patterns implemented in firm ware, and printed documentation are all
copyrighted m aterials, protected under law. U nless HP or Y H P specifically grants a
customer the right to reproduce copyrighted materials, these may not be copied except ·
for archive purposes, to replace a defective copy, or for program error verification
purposes.
The acquisition of any software or software/firm ware product grants the custom er a
license to use the software product originally purchased with one 4085M with no time
limit. No title to or ownership of the software is transferred to the customer.
3-28. Although flexible discs are extremely reliable, they do wear out. Since discs can
also be damaged due to accidents or careless handling, it is a good idea to make a copy of
the furnished software disc and to store the original in a fireproof locker or cabinet. This
will provide the system with a w orking disc and a m aster disc. The m aster disc can be
used to make additional copies if the working disc is m isplaced or accidently erased.

Disc Backup on a 9836 Computer
1 . Load the BASIC language system, if it is not alreaciy loaded.
2. Insert the source disc into the right-hand disc drive (drive 0). To play it safe,
this disc should be write-protected.
3 . Insert the destination disc into the left-hand disc drive (drive 1). Be sure that
this disc is initialized and write-enabled. Remember that any old files on the
destina tion disc w ill be lost.
4. Execute this COpy command:
COPY "INTERN AL" TO "INTERNAL, 4, I "
If you're using the 9 8 1 6 computer, the mass storage unit specifier will be different from
those shown in step 4 above. Refer to the BASIC programing Techniques Manual or see
COpy in the BASIC Language Reference for more details on the COPY command.
