Hi Roman,

After the cd boots you should have some startup messages on
the t.v screen.

acces card checking: OK
memory card checking: OK
terminal speed 9600 BPS

if all thats o.k then move along...

Check all your settings.  You might need to edit "djsetup.bat"
to set the proper directories.  This is VERY important.  Next...

type "siocons" at the dos prompt after you have typed "djsetup.bat"

Reset you PlayStation the first time you do this...or you might
get a Binary write error.  You should now see some communication
messages on your dos box.  If no ">>" appears.....hit enter a few times
to bring it up.  

After you see ">>" you are connected properly.  Go ahead and try out the
siocons commands.

Good-luck..

George@SCEE
