ATI Technologies Online README.1ST Feb 22, 1993
-----------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
--------------------
The drivers enclosed in this archive are designed to run with
Microsoft Windows 3.1 and ATI MACH32 cards.
The supplied drivers are for windows ONLY!
It is important that Windows be previously loaded and your
card configured using the INSTALL program from your existing
ATI Disk1, or in your MACH32 directory.
This is a Offical Release, 1.5(59) and add's additional features
within the FLEXDESK panel including Crystal Fonts and additional
24 bit drivers.
INSTALLATION
-----------------
Run the INSTALL.BAT batch file specifying the path to your
Windows directory.
Example:
INSTALL C:\WINDOWS <enter>
The INSTALL.BAT file will search your Windows directories for
existing ATI Mach 32 drivers and prompt you to Overwrite as
required. Once the files are on your hard disk we can proceed
to instruct windows to use them.
GETTING THE DRIVERS INTO WINDOWS
--------------------------------------------------
The following procedure MUST be executed outside of Windows and
CANNOT be accomplished through a DOS box.
1) Change to your Windows directory. DO NOT RUN WINDOWS.
Example: CD \WINDOWS
NOTE: If your Windows directory is not C:\WINDOWS, then specify
that path you are using (ie. C:\WIN31)
2) Run SETUP.
3) Highlight DISPLAY on the SETUP menu using the cursor keys and
press ENTER.
4) Using the down arrow key, look through the list of available
drivers. There should be only one driver. ATI mach32 driver
(Both the Crystal Font and MACH32 drivers are now integrated into
the ATI mach32 driver)
5) Highlight the ATI mach32 driver and Press ENTER.
6) Press ENTER.
("ACCEPT THE CONFIGURATION AS SHOWN ABOVE" should be
highlighted)
7) At this point, Setup may ask one of two things:
a) SETUP is asking for a Microsoft Windows disk.
-> Insert the diskette(s) SETUP asks for. Once all
necessary files are copied, SETUP will exit to
DOS.
b) SETUP will ask whether to keep or replace the current
driver
-> Press ENTER to keep the current driver. Setup may
then ask for Windows diskettes. Insert the diskette(s)
SETUP asks for. Once the necessary files are copied,
SETUP will drop to DOS.
NOTE: If SETUP asks for a Windows disk, be sure to enter
in the input box, the drive in which you have inserted the
disk.
Using the MACH32 Utilities
-------------------------------
