RE: Updated AMC_OS/X and New Manual
Nothing Arch in my name, except perhaps Arch-aic SW developer, ;-)

Once you have the three ROM images in consecutive locations in RAM or Flash, it's as simple as issuing a PLUG command with the proper address/Size in ALPHA. For instance, say you have them loaded in blocks 834, 835, and 836 in sRAM:

Alpha contains: "834-16k", XEQ "PLUGxx" (the choice of page is yours).
The OS/X Module takes only one page. It is compatible with pages 6 and 7, so you can use PLUGH and PLUGP as well. Just make sure it's not competing with the printer of course.

As per the LIBRARY#4, you need to do it a bit more manually since there's no direct PLUG command for page#4. Say you have it loaded in sRAM location 83F, then:

Alpha contains: "804040-883F", XEQ "YPOKE".
Here you must remember to never have a "real" HP-IL module with the printer switch in "DISABLE" mode - which sets the printer ROM to page#4 as well.

That's all there's to it... good luck!
