TSENG LABS 8514/A EMULATION DRIVER
The instructions that follow explain how to install the appropriate
8514/A emulation driver for your needs. These emulation drivers are
generic and should work on most ET4000-based boards. On this disk you
should find these files:
RIXAI4.EXE
RIXAI8.EXE
STAN0715.FNT
STAN0814.FNT
STAN1220.FNT
README.DOC (this file)
Two emulators are provided. Choose either emulator depending on your video
memory configuration and number of colors desired. The following table
illustrates the resolutions available by driver name according to the video
memory configuration on your board.
MINIMUM DISPLAY
RESOLUTION/COLORS MODE (hex) MEMORY REQUIRED DRIVER
640x480 16 12 512KB RIXAI4
1024x768 16 37 512KB RIXAI4
640x480 256 2E 512KB RIXAI8
1024x768 256 38 1MB RIXAI8
INSTALLATION
1) Create a subdirectory on the hard disk called RIXAI or another name
of your choosing.
2) Copy the contents of the floppy diskette to that newly-created
subdirectory.
Decide which version of the emulator is needed based on the amount of
video memory on your video adapter and the number of colors you wish
and proceed.
4) Type RIXAIx at the DOS prompt, where x is either 4 or 8.
5) You can now run your application software under 8514/A emulation.
Remember to load the appropriate emulation driver before running
application software that requires 8514/A. You might want to create a
simple batch file that loads the emulation driver and your software
automatically to simplify the process.

ACAD
You may need to reconfigure some software to run under an 8514/A
driver. Check the user manuals of your applications to determine if
such a driver is supported.
