Installing the Optima-Booster for a Slow Printer Port

You may have seen the message “Found slow printer port” during installation or

during the Self

-Test

. This message means that the parallel port is having a problem

communicating with the programmer. As a solution, your system includes a piece of

hardware called the Optima-Booster, which has extra drive features and filters that

minimize hardware interference.

Follow these steps to install the Optima-Booster:

1. Make sure that both the computer and programmer power switches are turned

OFF.

2. Disconnect the parallel cable from the

parallel port

on the back of your computer.

3. Connect the PC-SIDE end of the Optima-Booster to the

parallel port

on your

computer.

The Optima-Booster is keyed and cannot be connected incorrectly.

Warning: Do not connect the Optima-Booster to a COM, SCSI,

or parallel (LPT) port/switch box. Otherwise damage to

the Optima-Booster or PC might result.

4. Connect the parallel cable to the other end of the Optima-Booster.

5. Turn the computer and programmer back ON.

Note: Some laptops do not provide enough power to have the

Optima-Booster installed.

QUICK START

Getting Started

Once the Optima software and hardware are successfully installed, you’re ready to

begin programming devices. The QUICK START section of the Optima User Manual

guides you through programming memory or logic devices using Optima PROM,

Optima PAL, or Optima PROM432 software.

First, choose the appropriate software. The software program you use depends on

what type of device you will program, and what type of TOP you will use:

If you will program… then use

a logic-based device Optima PAL software

a memory-based device on a TOP432 Optima PROM432 software

all other memory-based devices Optima PROM software

After you have selected the appropriate software, decide whether you will be filling

the programmer’s RAM with valid programming data by

x reading a Master Device, or

x loading a data file

The following sections take you through a step-by-step process of programming a

device. Find the section which matches your conditions and you’re on your way:

x Programming a Memory Device by Reading a Master Device

x Programming a Memory Device by Loading a Data File

x Programming a Logic Device by Reading a Master Device

x Programming a Logic Device by Loading a Data File

x Programming a Memory Device on the TOP432 by Reading a Master Device

x Programming a Memory Device on the TOP432 by Loading a Data File

Note: An Optima programmer with a TOP48DIP is used in the

examples that follow.
