- *********************** Release Notes *******************************
-
- This disk contains the 1942Setup program that updates Release 3 of the
- Amiga Operating System to ensure maximum performance from the 1940 and
- 1942 monitors.
-
- To execute the 1942Setup program, double-click on the 1942Setup icon. Be
- sure to reboot your system after running the 1942Setup program before
- making changes with the new Overscan Preferences editor described below.
-
-
- 1942Setup updates the following monitor files in Devs/Monitors (or
- Storage/Monitors):
-
- DblNTSC
- DblPAL
- Euro36
- Euro72
- Multiscan
- NTSC
- PAL
- VGAOnly
-
-
- In addition, the Overscan Preferences editor is also updated. The "Edit
- Text Size" and "Edit Graphics Size" screens now have an arrow gadget which
- allows you to shift the display area up, down, right, and left to center it.
- You can move the entire display in the direction of the arrows by clicking
- on them. It is possible to move the display too far to the right or left,
- resulting in fading colors or a total disruption of the display. If this
- happens, you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the display back
- into position or press the Escape key, which undoes any changes you made and
- returns to the Overscan editor screen. Note that moving the display too far
- can cause some monitors--but not the 1940/1942--to go out of sync.
- Because this condition can damage some monitors, it is important not to
- leave them this way for any period of time.
-
-
- To correctly position the display on your 1940 and 1942 monitors:
-
- 1. Regardless of your intended display mode choice, begin by selecting
- NTSC from the Monitor Types list gadget.
- 2. Center the display using the controls on the 1940/1942 monitor.
- Adjust the Text and Graphics sizes to your satisfaction.
- 3. Then for all the other display groups edit the Text and Graphics
- sizes using the arrow gadget to center the display.
- 4. When all the displays are centered with respect to the NTSC screen,
- select the Save gadget to save all the overscan values.
- 5. Reboot. All the displays should then be centered, and you should
- not need to use the monitor controls again.
-
-
- PAL and NTSC display modes do not display or use the arrow gadget. To center
- the screen in one of these modes, use the monitor controls.
