ND-10309F — PLANC for ND-100, version F

Status: STUB — no PD sheet, procedure inferred by pattern, NOT verified · Install source: [INF]

Field Value
Part number 10309F00 (as printed on the floppy volume label)
Base product ND-10309
Version F
Release date unknown
CPU target ND-100
OS requirement unknown (assumed SINTRAN III VS, consistent with A/B)

Description

A later revision than A/B, but no PD sheet has been located for F. The floppy's file shape has changed from A/B in one important way: the compiler ships as an already-linked :PROG (PLANC-100-F00:PROG), not a raw :BPUN needing a manual start/restart address. This is the same shape change seen in this catalog's CC-100 (ND-10760) and Backup-System F (ND-10337F) entries — later revisions of several ND-100 products moved from shipping raw :BPUN to shipping pre-linked :PROG.

Distribution media

Floppy volume Contents
10309F00-1S PLANC-100-F00:PROG (120 pages — the compiler, already linked) · PLANC-1BANK-F00:BRF (15 pages, 1-bank runtime) · PLANC-2BANK-F00:BRF (16 pages, 2-bank runtime), user FLOPPY-USER

Single disk, no companion floppy found under the same 10309F00 prefix (unlike CC-500's 3-disk single-density set) — confirmed via directory listing only (temporary working reference, not committed to this repo). No :MODE install script is present on this floppy to extract.

Installation procedure — INFERRED, NOT CONFIRMED

No install text exists on this floppy (no :MODE script, no PD sheet). The following adapts the verified A/B procedure to this floppy's :PROG shape:

  1. Enter the directory on the floppy and copy all three files to user SYSTEM (same as A/B): 
    @ENTER-DIRECTORY 10309F00-1S,FLOPPY-DISC-1,0,
@COPY-FILE "PLANC-100-F00:PROG",(SYSTEM)PLANC-100-F00:PROG
@COPY-FILE "PLANC-1BANK-F00:BRF",(SYSTEM)PLANC-1BANK-F00:BRF
@COPY-FILE "PLANC-2BANK-F00:BRF",(SYSTEM)PLANC-2BANK-F00:BRF
  2. Dump the compiler as a reentrant subsystem — but using DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT, the :PROG-file form, not A/B's raw-:BPUN DUMP-REENTRANT ...,0,1,... form (mirroring the generic pattern in ../../INSTALL-METHODOLOGY.md §4 step 3 — SINTRAN I+ uses DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT for already-linked files): 
    @DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT PLANC-100,(SYSTEM)PLANC-100-F00:PROG
  3. Set the terminal background segment size, unchanged from A/B (no reason to assume this requirement went away — PLANC-100's memory model did not change between these releases as far as anything read here shows): 
    @CHANGE-BACKGROUND-SEGMENT-SIZE <terminal number>, 128

Do not treat the above as verified. Steps 1 and 3 are carried over from the confirmed A/B procedure; step 2's command choice (DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT vs DUMP-REENTRANT) is inferred from the file being :PROG rather than :BPUN, following this catalog's generic methodology, not from a document specific to this revision.

Configuration / post-install

Presumed same as A/B — none beyond the reentrant dump and background-segment-size change. Unconfirmed for F.

Documentation

Provenance & open items

  • Source: floppy directory listing only.
  • TODO (blocking): mount 10309F00-1S (e.g. download by MD5 fd9a9296290fb76318e4ca1fe2a0eb63 from the ND floppy library and read with ndtool) and confirm there is genuinely no install script hiding in a file type not shown by the directory-listing summary.
  • TODO: confirm whether DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT is really the right command for this file, and whether the background-segment-size requirement still applies to F.
  • TODO: this install has not been run live in the emulator.
