1.      Introduction

	If a WINNER graphics board (e.g. WINNER 1000PRO) on the VL or
	PCI bus and a second, non-VGA graphics board (e.g. WINNER
	1280) are used at the same time, they may be connected via the
	feature connector.

	In this case only one of the hardware color palettes may be
	programmable, depending on the bus type (VL or PCI). This can
	cause incorrect colors to be displayed by one of the graphics
	boards.

	The SNOOP program allows to define the behavior of palette
	programming. This enables the user to see the correct colors on
	his monitor if it is connected to the second graphics board and
	displays the VGA screen via the feature connector.


1.1     Graphics boards on the VL Bus, WINNER 1000TRIO-PCI, WINNER
        1000TRIO/V, VICTORY 3D and WINNER 3000 boards:

	SNOOP allows to choose wether only the color palette on the
	VGA board or both color palettes can be programmed.


1.2     Other ELSA graphics boards:

	SNOOP allows to define which color palette can be programmed.
	It is not possible to activate both palettes at the same time.

	You should select "SNOOP OFF" before running Windows or other
	high resolution applications on the PCI WINNER graphics board.

3.      Using SNOOP

	Command line syntax:

		SNOOP [ON/OFF]

	Command line parameters:

        ON:  VL graphics boards, WINNER 1000TRIO-PCI, WINNER
             1000TRIO/V, VICTORY 3D and WINNER 3000 boards:
	     The color palettes of both graphics boards will be
	     programmed.

             Other PCI graphics boards:
	     The color palette of the second graphics boards will be
	     programmed.

	     This setting is used to display the VGA screen via the
	     feature connector on the monitor connected to the second
	     graphics board.


        OFF: Only the color palette of the VGA graphics boards will be
	     programmed.

	     This setting is used to display high resolution graphics
	     (Windows, CAD etc.) on the monitor connected to the WINNER
	     VGA board.


	(none): The SNOOP program will display a help screen an the
	     current setting when called without command line
	     parameters.

4.      Cable connection

	Connect the ELSA VL/PCI-board with the flat conductor cable to
        the second graphics board. For the ELSA WINNER 1000TRIO,
        WINNER 1000TRIO/V, VICTORY 3D and WINNER 3000 boards the cable
        have to be twisted one times.
