miroCRYSTAL miroVIDEO 20SD/20SV/40SV Version 2.0
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
===============================================================================
Start Windows using the VGA drivers before installing the miro drivers!
Please check to make sure that the I/O adress 2E8 is not used. This address is
used for example by the serial interface COM4!
Remove all other VGA boards from your computer or, if there is an onboard
VGA on the mainboard, disable the onboard VGA.
Please enable VIDEO-ROM Shadowing modifying the BIOS of your computer or using
the ROM option of your Memory Manager (e.g. C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ROM=C000-C800).
To install the software from hard disk, copy the installation disk
to a directory and then assign the disk drive letter to this directory.
First copy the DISK miro*win 2 and then DISK miro*win 1
For example, copy the software to the C:\TMP directory and then call
SUBST A: C:\TMP.
If you are using a Windows network version, there may occur problems which
are caused by the configuration. Install the miro software for each individual
computer. The installation program needs to copy drivers, programs, and
configuration files to the local Windows directory. In addition, the
installation program needs to modify the local SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI,
and CONTROL.INI files and needs to create/rewrite the MWINTOOL.GRP group file.
Use the Monitor-Select and the miroSUPERSCREEN programs to adapt each system to
its equipment (e.g. monitor). In doing so, the OCTO.MON and the
three *.INI files mentioned above are adapted to each computer system.
For refreshrate setting in DOS, please use the S3REFRSH.EXE from DISK2.
LIMITATIONS
===============================================================================
60x480xTC TV Overscan is not possible.
miroSCREENADJUST Do not use with fixed-frequency monitors.
Do not change the image size and position
so that they differ from the default settings
too much, because doing so might damage the monitor.
