ASTFT11 FILE TRANSFER WITH S36 SSP5
There has been reported instances whereby the AST5251/11
file transfer program, ASTFT11.EXE, will not work with
release #5 of SSP for the IBM System/36. The suspected
software versions from AST are 3.02 of the emulator, and
1.10 or later of ASTFT11/A file transfer program.
A program check will occur at the IBM System/36 when the
user attempts to initiate a file transfer. At this point
the PC will be "locked-up" and needs to be cold booted;
also, an IPL will have to be performed on the IBM
System/36. However, this symptom will not occur with
release #4 of SSP for the IBM System/36.
In order to prevent this from occurring, the following
patch should be done from the IBM System/36 System
Console:
1. // LOAD $FEFIX <Return>
2. //RUN <Return>
3. HDR <Return>
4. PTF 0#DLDBA <Return>
5. DATA 74,xxxx,f087,00 <Return>
6. END <Return>
