ATI Windows 3.1 Display Driver Disk (VGA):
=========================================
April 22, 1992 release for:
ATI VGA Wonder XL
ATI VGA Wonder Plus
ATI VGA Wonder
ATI VGA Integra
Copyright (c) 1992, ATI Technologies Inc.
All Rights Reserved
ATI Technologies Inc. reserves all rights with respect to the programs
and drivers supplied.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY:
======================
This software is provided without charge. This software is provided "as
is". 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:
============
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
============
Before proceeding through the installation steps, configure Windows 3.1
to use the Microsoft VGA driver.
1) Exit Windows (not a DOS box).
2) Change to your Windows directory (CD).
3) Place the ATI Windows 3.1 Display Driver Disk into drive A:. 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.
