- NOTE!
- Known Shortcoming in this Release
- ---------------------------------
- 1. The Windows drivers in this release may show stray pixels on
- the desktop title bars and icons with some Kelvin boards.
- This is strictly a cosmetic problem and doesn't affect the
- functionality of the drivers. We are working on a fix.
-
-
-
- Using your Kelvin Drivers
- -----------------------------
- 1. Copy all files (listed above) to a blank high density 3.5"
- floppy disk.
-
- 2. Log onto your floppy drive and run the KINSTALL.EXE program
- install the driver files to your hard drive. You should run
- KINSTALL.EXE from DOS, not from Windows.
-
- The KINSTALL.EXE program is menu driven, and fairly self
- explanatory. The KINSTALL menu helps you install drivers for a
- variety of different applications. If you have questions during
- any part of the installation process, press the F1 key for
- context sensitive help, or see your Kelvin manual for more
- information.
-
-
-
- Changes in this Release
- -----------------------
- 1. The Windows resource usage and release issue has been fixed
- in this release.
-
- 2. Certain problems running DOS applications under Windows have
- been fixed in this release.
-
- 3. There are new drivers for AutoDesk products in this release,
- including AutoCAD 11, 12, and 13, all versions of 3D Studio,
- and AutoSketch. The AutoCAD drivers now include icon menuing
- and spy glass.
-
-
- Troubleshooting
- ---------------
- The most common question the Orchid Technical Support department
- gets regarding installation of Windows drivers is from people who
- have installed the drivers using KINSTALL, yet when they go into
- the Windows Control Panel the Kelvin driver icon doesn't show up.
- This problem is almost exclusively caused by memory managers
- loaded in your config.sys file. If you're using QEMM or EMM386
- (or a similar type of memory manager), you need to exclude the
- Kelvin's RAM and ROM memory area so your memory manager doesn't
- try to use that area. The syntax for EMM386 and QEMM is to add
- the statement X=A000-C7FF to the EMM or QEMM setup line in your
- config.sys file. If you are using QEMM's "Stealth" feature (ST:M
- or ST:F), you also need to add the statement XST=C000 to your
- line in config.sys. Then reboot, and look for the icon in
- Windows. If you use QEMM, it may be necessary to re-run the
- Optimize program after adding the Kelvin exclusions.
