1.0 Installation Notes for OS/2
1) Check The Minimized Window Viewer to see if you have any WIN-OS/2 or
DOS sessions iconized. Close them all as the INSTALL may not work
if a WIN-OS/2 session is running.
2) To complete the install successfully you will require the following
information:
a) The OS/2 boot drive on which the PM driver is located.
b) The default ATI OS/2 driver directory is C:\MACH_OS2.
3) From the Install OS/2 Drivers window, select Install OS/2 Version 2.1
OS/2.
4) When INSTALL has completed copying all necessary files, exit the INSTALL
program. Close the Full screen DOS box.
Note: If PM Desktop does not reappear after exiting from the full screen
DOS session. Pressing <Enter> brings you back to full screen.
You must reboot to get back to the PM Desktop.
5) When the mach64 driver is installed the SETVGA command will request the
mach64 drivers diskette to be inserted in to default installation drive.
SETVGA will not proceed without this diskette. Use the following
procedure to create the required mach64 diskette:
a) Boot DOS, or enter a full screen DOS session.
b) Insert a blank disk into drive A: (the bootable floppy drive)
c) Change directory to the directory created by the installation of
the mach64 OS2 drivers (default c:\MACH_OS2)
d) The mach64 disk must have a volume label of MACH64OS2. To create this
label, at the C:\MACH_OS2 (default) directory type:
LABEL A:
You will then see a prompt stating "Volume label (11 characters,
enter for none)?", please type:
MACH64OS2
e) Copy the contents of the MACH_OS2 directory onto the floppy disk.
6) Run DSPINSTL from within an OS/2 window.
7) When the Display Driver Install panel appears, select Primary Display
and click OK to bring up a list of choices. You should see an option for
ATI mach64.
8) Select 'ATI Technologies mach64' from the list and click OK.
9) When the source directory panel appears, select 'Change' and enter:
C:\MACH_OS2 (replace c: with your boot drive letter if you don't use c)
Click 'Set' and then 'Install'. After the files are copied, exit the OS/2
window or full screen session. Shut down and restart your system.
10) The PM driver will first come up in 640x480, 256 colors mode. Use the
following steps to change the screen resolutions or number of colors:
a. Open 'OS/2 System' icon.
b. Open 'System Setup' icon.
c. Open 'System' icon.
