Introducing

the

A590

The AS90

Hard

Drive Plus

is

an external hard disk drive plus a controller

card and expansion memory unit for the Amiga

SOO.

The AS90 connects to

the side

of

the Amiga

SOO

and comes with a disk containing all the softwa re

required for operation.

The AS90 includes the following features:

• 20

MB

of

disk

slO

rage.

• Sockets for SI2KB, 1MB, or 2MB

of

fast rand om access memory

(RAM)

chips.

• Direct Memory Access (DMA) for fastest possible operation.

• ConneclOr for the use

of

Small Computer Standard Interface

(SCSI) expansion devices.

• Autoboot ROMS to allow you to boot your system from the hard
drive, if

you

are using

Kickstan~

1.3.

Note:

To

obtain the full potential

of

the AS90,

you

will want

10

have the

Kickstan 1

.3

ROM

upgrade installed

in

your Amiga

SOO.

With the Kickstan

1.3

ROM

s you will be able to automatically

boO!

your system from the AS90,

providing faster access to all your files.

You

can determine whether your Amiga has Kickstan 1.2 or 1.3 by

staning

your system without a disk

in

the floppy drive. The screen

will

show a hand

holding a Workbench disk, with the version number below

it.

If the version

number

is

1.2, your. Amiga is using Kickstart 1.2. Please see your Amiga

dealer concerning the

ROM

upgrade.

If

the version number

is

1.3, your

Amiga already has Kickstan 1.3.

This user's guide explains how to:

• connect and set up the AS90.

• connect external SCSI devices.

• install RAM chips on the AS90 board.

• use the HDToolbox software to set up and configure your

hard disk.

•

use

the

reinstallation software

(0

rebuild

you

r hard

disk

in

the

event

of

a catastrophic loss

of

data .

Note that with the addition

of

the A590, your system will still operate nor-

mally using the floppy disk drive.

Installing

the

A590

WARNING: Commodore will not be responsible for any injury

or

damage

resulting from improper installation. Such improper installation will also

void the warranties on the A590 and the Amiga 500. Read this manual before
attempting to

in

stall the A590. Turn the computer

off

and unplug the power
cord before proceeding. Installing the A590 with the power on could cause
personal injury to

yo

urself and damage to the equipment. Make sure that
nothing is attached to the computer. Disconnect all peripherals and power
cords, and put them aside. The A590 requires adequate ventilation. Do not
block the openings in the A590

or

place

it

in

an enclosure

or

on

a carpet.

Most hard disk failures

occur

due to improper handling: never subject the

A590 to electrical

or phys

ical shock.

Unpack the A590 a

nd

make sure that

you

have a

ll

the requir

ed

part

s:

• A590 hard disk drive.

•

gro

und clip.

• power supply.

• A590 setup disk

• warranty card.

Record the information listed on the bottom

of

the A590

on

the inside cover

of

this manual.

Installation

Procedure

The following steps, required to install the A590, are explained

in

detail,

heginning on the next page.

I. Turn

off

and disconnect the A500.

2.

Set the

DIP switches

at the back

of

the A590.

3.

Open the side panel

of

the Amiga 500.

4.

Co

nnect the ground clip 10 the Amiga 500.

5.

Co

nnect the A590 to the Amiga 500.

6.

Co

nnect the power supply to the A590 and AC outlet.

J

1.

Turn

off

and

diseonnect the A500.

Thrn

off

the

ASOO,

and

unp

lug the power cable. Disconnect a

ll

peripherals

and c

ab

les from the

ASOO.

2. Se tting the

DIP

switches.

There

are four

DIP

switches l

oca

ted at the back

of

the AS90.

The swit

ches

are

shipped in the

off

pos

ition.

If

you

are

using Kicks

tart

1.3

you will want to

set

DIP

swi tch I

to

on.

If you

are

using Kicks

tart 1.2 you can connect the

AS90 with

the DIP

switches in the cu

rren

t position s.

Note: If yo

ur Workb

enchm prompt

requests Workb ench 1.3, you

are

using

Kicks

tart 1.3.

If

it

request s Wo

rkb

ench 1.2, you are using Kicks

tart

1.2.

DIP

switch I enables and disables the

Aut

oboo

t ROM s.

DIP

switch 2 con·

trois whether the syst

em

will look for more

than

one drive at each logical

SCSI add

ress.

DIP

switch 3 sets a long or short delay between when you

turn

the power on

and

when yo

ur

system checks the drives. DIP swi tch 4 is

reserved for later use.

DIP swit

ches 2

and 3 are onl

y used with external

SCS

I

drives. Fo r more informati on

5. Conneeling the A590 to the Amiga 500.

Align the connector on the side

of

the A590 with the tab on the left side

of

the

computer. Slide the A590 directly towards the co mputer umil the casings

be slUck,

pull

it

directly away from the computer and realign the connector.

6. Connecting lhe power supply.

The A590's power supply brick has a AC power cable

and

a 4'pin cable

allached to it. The 4-pin cable connects to the back

of

the A590. Align the

pi

ns with Ihe socket on the A590 and insert the cable. Connect the power

cable to a grounded AC ou

tl

et.

Reconneci all cables and peripherals to the computer. Thrn the power on

to

the Amiga 500. The A590 has been designed so that the A590 turns on and

off with the Amiga 500 .

.

Note: Befo

Using

the

Hard

Disk

This manual assumes that

you

are familiar with the operation

of

the Amiga

500

as described

in

the Introduction to the Amiga

500

manual.

The device name

of

the A590, as shipped,

is

DH9:. The partition on the A590

is

Workbench:.

It

contains the directories and files that are on the Workbench

and the Extras diskettes.

The Workbench partition is formatted using the Fast File System (FFS). The
Fast File System

is

solely

for use

with a hard drive system.

It

differs from the

standard

fi

le system in that

it

increases data transfer speed a

nd

allows more

data to be stored on the disk. For more details on FFS, see Appendix A

of

the

1.3 Enhancer manual.

WARNING:

To

protect the A590, always park

Ihe

drive heads before turning

your system off.

To

park Ihe drive heads, locate Ihe Park icon on the A590

Setup

di

sk, and double click on il. Always wait thirty seconds before lurning

the

sys

tem

off.

Copying

Programs

to

Your

Hard

Disk

Ip addition to working with the utilities on Workbench and Extras,

you

will

wanl to transfer other software programs to your hard disk. Note thai most

commercial software packages have instructions

for

installing ·the

sof

tware

on the hard disk.

This section demonstrates how to copy a generic software program

to

your

hard drive. Since this procedure involves Ihe CLl/ SHELL and some basic
AmigaDOS commands,

you

should refer to Chapter 7

of

the Introduction

manual if

you

are not familiar with using the

CLl.
