The archive setup.zip in this directory contains the configuration disk
that was included with every Mips Magnum 4000 system.  This config
disk may be required to reload the little endian firmware ("ARC firmware")
into the FLASH EEPROMS of the Magnum 4000 and to configure the machine
back to the big endian firmware for use with MIPS own UNIX implementation
Risc/OS.  Permission to make setup.zip available via anonymous ftp was
generously given by Mips Computer Systems, Inc.

The archive setup.zip contains information how to create the config disk.
The config disk is useable for the Mips Magnum 4000 and the Mips Magnum
4000SC.  The disk will not be accepted by the OEM version of the Magnum
sold by Olivetti under the type name M700-10.

I should note that reconfiguring the Magnum is a little bit DANGEROUS
procedure.  During the reconfiguration process the entire content of the
FLASH EEPROM containing the firmware is replaced.  If this process is
interrupted the machine will have an EEPROM with unusable contents.  This
means that the EEPROMs will have to be removed and reprogrammed using an
EEPROM programmer.  So try don't reload the firmware unnecessarily.  I
suggest to be paranoid and do this only when the Magnum is connected to
a UPS.  Just in case if power fails ...
