[MainClue] ENTER=Continue F3=Exit F1=Help [HelpClue] ENTER=Continue F3=Exit [ErrorClue] ENTER=Continue F3=Exit [PleaseWait] Please wait... [Checking] Checking, please be patient [Success] SYSCHK has found no known PCI compliance issues. Proceed with installation. [NoProblem] No problems were found by this test. [Failure] SYSCHK has found a problem which may require system modifications. Please correct before proceeding with installation. [NoPCIBiosFound] SYSCHK could not find a PCI BIOS. SYSCHK will terminate. [Compaq] SYSCHK has detected a Compaq Presario or Prolinea Computer with a BIOS date of 03/01/95 or earlier. To ensure correct PCI initialization, contact Compaq for a BIOS upgrade or refer to the EDGE 3D Installation Guide. [MrBiosFound] The system BIOS does not support the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer for a BIOS upgrade (MR BIOS V3.22 or later). [AMI1993Found] SYSCHK found AMI BIOS with a date of 3/1/95. [AST104Found] SYSCHK found AST BIOS version 1.04. [Phoenix402Found] SYSCHK found Phoenix BIOS version 4.02. [MotherBoardBiosFailure] Please do not put the EDGE 3D card into your PC until you have upgraded your PCI system BIOS. [AwardFound] SYSCHK found Award BIOS dated January 1995 or ealier. [Phoenix10XFound] SYSCHK found Phoenix BIOS version 1.0x. [AutoIntNotSupported] This BIOS may not automatically assign interrupts or correctly enable the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator or other peripherals. You should ensure that the PCI configuration options available under the system BIOS setup set interrupts correctly. Press the appropriate key (typically F1, F2 or DEL) to enter the setup program after the memory test during system boot. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the PCI configuration menu. Set interrupts to LEVEL and assign an unused interrupt (typically 9, 10, or 11) to the slot containing the EDGE 3D PCI card. Note: Automatic PCI interrupt assignment, adopted as a default by system manufacturers, may generate conflicts between ISA and PCI interrupts. You should manually set ISA card interrupt values to non-conflicting values by observing which interrupt has been assigned to the EDGE 3D. [AriesFound] SYSCHK found an Intel Aries PCI bridge chip. [MercuryFound] SYSCHK found an Intel Mercury PCI bridge chip. [TritonFound] SYSCHK found an Intel Triton PCI bridge chip. [SIS496Found] SYSCHK found SIS 496 PCI bridge chip. [OPTI822Found] SYSCHK found an Opti 822 PCI bridge chip. [OPTI558Found] SYSCHK found an Opti 558 PCI bridge chip. [OverWriteVgaDrv] The default Windows 95 VGA.DRV driver could create system conflicts. VGA.DRV must be updated with the one on the EDGE 3D CDROM prior to placing the EDGE card in your computer. SYSCHK will copy a working VGA.DRV into your Windows system directory. [OverWriteVgaDrvOld] The default Windows 95 VGA.DRV driver could create system conflicts. Please restart the computer in MSDOS mode and copy VGA.DRV from the EDGE 3D CDROM into your Windows 95 system directory (e.g. /WINDOWS/SYSTEM) before installing the EDGE 3D card. [MultifunctionNotSupported] This BIOS does not support the multifunction portion of the PCI specification. Contact your PC or motherboard manufacturer for a fully compliant system BIOS upgrade before installing your Multimedia Accelerator. [ASUS_SP4] ASUS SP4 BIOS found. The system BIOS does not support multifunction cards correctly; therefore the EDGE 3D Multimedia card will not work in this system. Please contact the manufacturer of your motherboard for a BIOS upgrade. [OnboardIDE] This chipset has an onboard IDE controller, with a multiplexed address bus, which will cause degradation in graphics and audio performance. For improved performance use an ISA IDE controller card and disable the onboard IDE controller. [PCIToPCIFound] A PCI-PCI bridge was found. For best performance, the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator card should be located on the primary PCI bus. See your hardware documentation to determine which slots are on the primary PCI bus. [DellP60Found] SYSCHK found a Dell P60. Your system BIOS may not support all interrupt configurations. We suggest you reserve IRQ 9 for the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator, and set other peripherals to use other available interrupts. [CheckingSystem] SYSCHK will now check your system for full PCI compliance and compatibility with the multimedia technology contained within your EDGE 3D accelerator. [NVINITCopyFail] NVINIT.SYS copy from CDROM failed. SYSCHK will continue to setup CONFIG.SYS. [ConfigSys] CONFIG.SYS [EnterWin95Directory] Enter drive and path to your Windows 95 system: [EnterConfigSysDirectory] Enter drive and path to CONFIG.SYS file: [EnterEDGE3DDirectory] Enter drive and destination path for EDGE 3D: [CopyFiles] Copying files... [CheckingMB] Checking your motherboard BIOS... [CheckingPCI] Checking your motherboard PCI hardware... [ConfigSysHelp] Please enter drive and path to CONFIG.SYS file. An example is C:\\CONFIG.SYS. [Win95DirHelp] Please enter drive and path to your Windows 95 system. Examples are C:\\WINDOWS and C:\\WIN95. [EDGE3DDirHelp] Please enter MSDOS destination drive and path for EDGE 3D MSDOS files. An example is C:\\EDGE3D. [HelpTitle] Welcome to help for the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator. [HelpHints] Press Enter or Return to continue system tests. Use F1 key for helpful hints at any time during this process. [HelpTitleMore] This screen tests your computer for Plug and Play compatibility. Plug and Play compatiblity with the EDGE 3D technology is deter- mined by a combination of your motherboard BIOS and the PCI hardware on the motherboard. If a compability problem is discovered then you will be given advise on the proper actions to take. [Blank80] [ErrorMsg1] An error as been detected. [ErrorMsg2] The details are as follows: [SysUpdateComplete] System tests are complete. You may proceed with the rest of the EDGE 3D installation. [SysUpdateNotComplete] Installation found a problem. Do not proceed with EDGE 3D installation until the problem is investigated and corrected. [AdvisorHelp] This screen tests your computer for Plug and Play compatibility. Plug and Play compatiblity with the EDGE 3D technology is deter- mined by a combination of your motherboard BIOS and the PCI hardware on the motherboard. If a compability problem is discovered then you will be given advise on the proper actions to take. For results to the system check, see the main screen. [UserTerminate] MSDOS system tests and file copy is not complete. You decided to terminate this program. You should verify your system before placing the EDGE 3D card into it. Try this application again at another time. [PCITerminate] MSDOS system test and file copy is not complete. PCI compliance problem discovered. Please correct and rerun this utility. [CopyTerminate] MSDOS system test and file copy is not complete. An error occurred during the copy process. Please check the EDGE 3D CDROM and make sure it is correctly in place. [DriveError] Fixed disk drive letter is invalid. Please enter a valid drive letter which is a character from C through Z. [Windows95DirectoryError] That is not a valid Windows 95 directory. Please enter the location of your Windows 95 directory or accept the default option. [ComeAgain] System check is not complete. User terminated the program.
