PRELIMINARY PROM MANUAL (June 8, 1977  4:19 PM)

PROM is a program to drive the Alto Prom Blower. PROM combines the features of APROM, PROMDIAG, and LOGICPROM. PROM supersedes all previous prom blowing software for the Alto Prom Blower and is the ONLY software package that will be supported for use with the Prom Blower. PROM runs in three modes, "MB File" mode which corresponds fairly closely to APROM, "MB File" mode which corresponds fairly closely to PROMDIAG, and "MB File" mode which corresponds fairly closely to LOGICPROM.e12(635)

	I				Invert Prom
	S				Set prom to all ones
	C				Change prom (alters bits pointed to by mouse;
					red sets bit, yellow resets bit, blue returns
					control to keyboard input)
	R				Reverse bit (data bits are numbered with bit
					zero starting from the left)
	E				Equation ("or" the equation into the bit 
					selected. Address bits are numbered with bit
					zero on the right. "+" means "or". An "N"

					negates the it.)
	G				Get a file
	P				Put a file

	F				Format selection (only format 4 which selects
					4x256 format and format 8 which selects 8x32
					format are currently implemented)
	D				Diagnostic (call Prom Blower Diagnostic)
	A				Address permutation (Default permutation is
					9876543210. All input is right justified. An "N"
					before a number negates the bit.)
