PROMOS 2.0 SOFTWARE BOOKLET and DISK for JASON-RANHEIM PROMENADE C1 EPROM BURNER latest updates and/or corrections: 5-11-2012 NOTE: Some text in this document differs from the original booklet!!! In converting this operators manual to straight ASCII text files, a few modifications to the text on some pages were necessary. This is because of two characters that exist on the Commodore keyboard but are not found on standard IBM type keyboards, and are not part of the standard USA character set. They are the British Pound symbol and the pi symbol. The UK Pound symbol appears on the Commodore keyboard between the minus (-) and the CLR/HOME keys and is CBM ASCII 92. This symbol looks a bit like a handwritten (in cursive) uppercase letter L with a dash through the center. The pi symbol is the standard greek letter. It is seen on the front face of the up-arrow key on the Commodore keyboard as a graphics character and is CBM ASCII 126. In the "Promos 2.0" program written for the Jason-Ranheim Promenade C1 EPROM burner, these two keys are used for specific commands in the software. I elected to use double brackets {} to substitute for the British Pound symbol as that key combination is not likely to be seen anywhere else. The pi symbol likewise has no ASCII equivalent, but I simply used PI in the text wherever that symbol appeared. The following is a listing of where these changes were made: Table of Contents page: both symbols replaced one time each. Page 7: Pound symbol replaced four times. Page 12: PI symbol replaced twice. Page 14: Pound and PI symbols replaced one time each. Page 15: Pound symbol replaced once. Page 18: Pound and PI symbols replaced one time each. Pages of this booklet were scanned and saved to disk as .PCX graphics files, then converted to ASCII text with OCR. As anyone who has used Optical Recognition software realizes, the quality of the original image is of utmost importance. The quality of the type in this booklet was marginal, so quite a bit of manual correction was necessary to the resulting text. In many places, the software could not determine the difference between 0 and O, - and =, S and $, I and 1, etc. I therefore went over each page three times to check for and correct errors, and I'm reasonably sure there are none at this point. It is simply the best I can do. The first page of information (inside front cover) in this booklet is not a numbered page. It is a statement of the copyrights and warranty information for the burner and software. That file is listed as FORWARD.TXT. It is not listed in the table of contents. The Table of Contents is not a numbered page. The file is TOC.TXT. The image on page 5 was called out as "Figure 1" in the text. That file is saved as a graphics file named FIGURE1.GIF. It is a pinout diagram of some of the various EPROMs that can be read and programmed in this burner. The original booklet is hard to read and the resulting scan is likewise difficult. Consult an EPROM data book if you need exact information regarding chip pinouts. The "inside back cover" mentioned in the text is not a numbered page. It is saved as EPROMS.TXT and has a page header as follows: Table of Control and Program Method Words. It is not listed in the table of contents. The blank page after page 24 is not numbered. It contains only the header NOTES and no information. Other than the above pages, all numbered pages in this book are saved with file names of their respective pages ie PAGE1.TXT, PAGE2.TXT, etc. The last numbered page is 24. This scanned document is not intended to defraud the orginal author or infringe on any copyrights. It was only done to support an otherwise unsupported Commodore accessory. Since the manufacturer no longer builds, sells or in any way profits from this hardware or software, it is up to the users themselves to help each other with whatever it takes to keep a useable product alive as long as possible. It is in that spirit of co-operation that this document is made available to end users at no charge. The Promos 2.0 software disk was transfered with Big Blue Reader to a PC disk and the files stored as standard binaries. The OEM disk directory is listed as a text file so that the original disk can be reconstructed from these files using that information, if desired. The original was a 5.25" CBM format, single sided, double density type.
