From the Start menu choose Programs, then Accessories, then Hyperterminal.
Double-click the Hypertrm icon to open this program.
Enter the name Ghost Download and choose an icon then click OK. This will
enable you to return to the program easily on subsequent occasions with the cor-
rect parameter already setup for Ghost.
You will now get the phone number dialogue box. Leave the phone number field
blank, and set the connect using... parameter to direct to Com 1 (or whichever
serial port is accessible on the back of the PC)
You now get the Com 1 Properties dialogue box. Set up the parameters as fol-
lows:
bits per sec: 19200
data bits: 8
parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Click OK. The blank Hyperterminal screen will now be displayed.
Locate the Ghost software program file (Ghost.abs) either on the floppy disk or
from the internet. In the latter case, save the file in a known location (do not
change the filename!).
Switch off the Ghost console and connect the download cable (9-pin to 9-pin D-
type, see above for pin-out) from the Com 1 port on the PC to the 9-pin socket
on the Ghost rear panel.
Using a thin implement, push in and latch the hidden download switch on the
Ghost. This is accessible via a small hole in the rear panel, next to the 9-pin socket.
Turn on the Ghost console. The console will not boot up as usual, but will either
display nothing on the timecode display, or all 8s, together with other flashing
lights on the CPU section -this is normal! A menu will now appear on the
Hyperterminal screen :
Boot code Version 1.00
? - display this help
e - erase flash program memory
x - initiate XMODEM transfer
I - diagnostic info
Press the e key on the PC; the screen will indicate that the flash memory is eras-
ing. (This will not erase the Ghosts snapshots and midi setup).
When the message done, press the x key to initiate the software download.
In Hyperterminal, open the Transfer menu and select Send File.
Select the Ghost.abs file in the filename field, from the floppy drive or wherever
you put it on the hard drive. Set the Protocol to X-Modem and click Send.
The file transfer will now start, with a dialogue box entitled File send for Ghost
Download informing you of the progress. (Note: if you take too long finding and
selecting the Ghost.abs file after pressing the x key, the Ghost may time-out,
with the message transfer unsuccessful. If this happens, power down the Ghost
and power up again to obtain the menu, then press x again and try again).
When the transfer is complete (it will take several minutes), the message
Transfer done! will appear. Turn off the Ghost console, disconnect the down-
load cable and unlatch the recessed download switch on the back of the console.
Power up the Ghost -the console should now boot up as normal, with the new
software version number displayed during the boot-up.
On the PC, exit the Hyperterminal program, and choose Yes when prompted to
save the session. This will give you the icon you chose at the beginning of the pro-
cedure, in the Hyperterminal window, for future use.
