SUPER VGA DRIVER INSTALLATION
FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.0
The instructions which follow are applicable to users of
Microsoft Windows 3.0 and the SuperVGA by Boca Research. Note
that, to use 800x600 and 1024x768 modes, an ANALOG color display
capable of these high resolutions is required.
The "Super VGA Driver Disk #2" contains 256 color and high-resolution
drivers, as well as a file called SETUP.INF that replaces the files of
the same name on the Microsoft Windows 3.0 Setup "DISK 1" diskette.
Follow the instructions listed below carefully to install the drivers.
Instructions:
1. Make a DISKCOPY of the Setup "Disk 1" diskette.
Example (for systems with a single floppy and hard drive):
C:>DISKCOPY A: A:
The system will use drive A: for both the original and the
copy as the source and target diskettes are inserted
alternately for the copy.
2. After the copy is made, return the original to its jacket and
store safely.
3. Copy the file SETUP.INF from the Driver Disk #2 in the
sub-directory "WIN30" to the newly-created copy of the Setup "Disk 1"
diskette. Example (for systems with a single floppy and hard
drive):
C:>COPY A:\WIN30\SETUP.INF B:
The system will use drive A: as drive B: also. After the copy
is finished, type A: [ENTER].
4. Type SETUP [ENTER] to begin installation of Windows 3.0.
5. Review the configuration list when it is shown. If you wish to
change Display type, move the cursor (highlighted line) to the
"Display:" line and press [ENTER] to select from the available
list.
6. The program will ask you to insert the Driver Disk #2 and
suggest a prompt of "A:\". Edit this defualt to read "A:\WIN30"
and press ENTER. The program will install the drivers onto your
hard disk. After this is done, installation will continue normally.
After you complete the above steps you can begin using Windows 3.0.
Note: If you wish to change the display type after completing the
installation, click on the Windows Setup icon found in the Main
desktop window.
INSTRUCTIONS - WINDOWS 3.0 ALREADY INSTALLED
To use the Super VGA Windows 3.0 drivers you need to copy the following
files into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
VGA464.DRV
VGA474.DRV
VGA448.DRV
VGA468.DRV
VGA478.DRV
VGAMONOX.GR2
VGACOLRX.GR2
VDDTLI4.386
SETUP.INF
If you have ALREADY installed Windows 3.0, you can copy the above list of
files into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. After you copy the files, change
the display configuration from within Windows itself to one of the extended
drivers. See the Windows documentation for further information.
When you run the Windows Setup to change to a different driver Windows may
prompt you for some of the Windows Installation diskettes. The drivers use
display fonts which are contained on the standard Windows 3.0 distribution
diskettes.
As stated below, certain display resolutions require a minimum configuration
on the Super VGA to operate. Also, your monitor must be capable of supporting
these high resolutions to achieve satifactory results.
The drivers support the following:
Resolution Mode Minimum display Driver name
(HEX) memory required*
640x480x2 11h 256kb VGAMONO.DRV **
640x480x16 12h 256kb VGA.DRV **

800x600x256 30h 1 meg VGA468.DRV
1024x768x256 38h 1 meg VGA478.DRV
*Display memory means memory installed ON the Super VGA board. See your user
manual for more information.

IMPORTANT
It is important that the drivers be installed properly, replacement
grabbers (GR2 extension) and Virtual-Display-Device handler (386 extension) are
included to properly support the extended feature set of the Super VGA.
