ATI makes no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, either expressed or implied. ATI (where allowed by state, federal, or provincial law) assumes no liability, either incidental or consequential arising from use of this product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REQUIREMENTS - VGA based ATI products: ===================================== Various modes require different hardware and memory. If the driver's hardware and memory requirements are not met at load time, the driver will exit to DOS and report an error. This error will also occur if the card's monitor configuration is incorrect (i.e. card is configured for a PS2 monitor and the selected resolution is higher than 640x480). Please note that mode 65H (1024x768/16 paged type) is not supported. Instead, mode 55H (1024x768/16 planar type) is supported. V3 VGA Wonders do not support mode 55H. A V3 VGA Wonder card is identified by having V3 as the first two characters in the ROM version label. If this resolution is required and you own a V3 VGA Wonder, ATI has a hardware upgrade program in place. Please contact ATI Customer Support for details. REQUIREMENTS - Accelerator based products: ========================================= These drivers will work with either 512K or 1Mbyte of accelerator memory. With 512K, 16 colors will be displayed. On 1Mbyte boards, 256 colors are displayed. For 800x600 operation, the Graphics ULTRA/VANTAGE ROM version must be 1130111513 (v1.3) or newer. For 8514 ULTRA ROMs, the version must be 1330111330 (v1.3) or newer. Please contact ATI Customer Support for ROM upgrade details.

Drive B: may be used but is not recommended. The Windows 3.1 Setup program may behave inconsistently when using drive B:. 4) Type "SETUP" at the DOS prompt. 5) Select Display - "Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware manufact.." 6) Select the desired screen resolution and press Enter. Setup will copy files from the diskette into your Windows directories. Setup may ask if you wish to KEEP or REPLACE the specified driver. Choose REPLACE by pressing ESC. This choice will appear if you have installed an older ATI driver with the same file name previously. If you are presented with this choice AFTER this installation is completed (by choosing a different ATI driver selection later), choose KEEP by pressing ENTER. Setup may ask for some Windows diskettes. In this case, enter the drive that contains the ATI driver disk (i.e. A:) so Setup continues to use this disk. An error message may appear indicating that there is a problem with drive A: during the file copying process (such as VGALOGO.LGO). If this occurs, press ESC twice (after each error box appearance) and enter the drive that contains the ATI driver disk when asked by Setup. 7) When Setup is complete, type "WIN" at the MS-DOS prompt to start Windows 3.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes - VGA based drivers: ========================= The following drivers contain support for V3 VGA Wonder cards: . 640x480/256 Small & Large font (512K) . 800x600/16 Small Font (256K) . 800x600/256 Small & Large font (512K) For windowed DOS sessions, it is recommended that you select "High Graphics" for the MSDOS and DOS application PIF files.
