Orchid Technology Kelvin Series
Driver Release v1.21
---------------------------------------
The file you have downloaded, !KEL.EXE contains the complete
files from the Kelvin Install/Driver disk v1.21. This readme
file contains instructions for making a Kelvin driver disk, so
you can install the drivers. You have already completed the
first step, by unpacking the !KEL.EXE file and reading this.
When you unpack !KEL.EXE you should have the following files:
DISK ID 23 06-09-94 10:00a
KELVIN 001 1207362 06-09-94 10:00a
INSTALL DAT 35005 06-08-94 10:00a
INSTALL HLP 69899 06-06-94 10:00a
KINSTALL EXE 109329 08-10-92 10:00a
AVGAGR DRV 2875 06-12-92 10:00a

Using your Kelvin Drivers
-----------------------------
1. Copy all files (listed above) to a blank high density floppy
disk.
2. Log onto your floppy drive and run the KINSTALL.EXE program
install the driver files to your hard drive. You should run
KINSTALL.EXE from DOS, not from Windows.
The KINSTALL.EXE program is menu driven, and fairly self
explanatory. The KINSTALL menu helps you install drivers for a
variety of different applications. If you have questions during
any part of the installation process, press the F1 key for
context sensitive help, or see your Kelvin manual for more
information.
Changes in this Release
-----------------------
This release should fix printing problems from Windows with
Hewlett Packard Desk Jet printers, and various model Epson
printers. The fix has not been confirmed on Canon Bubble Jet
printers.
This release fixes a problem with button faces in Lotus Organizer
for Windows.
Known Shortcomings in this Release
----------------------------------
1. All Kelvin models (except ISA as noted below) currently only
offer 43.5Hz interlaced for the 1280x1024x16 color resolution.
The 256 color option (available on 2MB boards) does support
60Hz non-interlaced.
2. The Windows "HELP" file for Kelvin 64-ISA control Panel
mentions "FONT Cache" and "800x600x16M color mode". These
options are currently not available/supported.
3. The Kelvin 64-ISA only offers 43.5Hz interlaced for the
1280x1024 16 and 256 color resolutions.
4. The Kelvin 64-ISA currently does not offer 800x600x16.7M color
mode (ETA unknown).
Troubleshooting
---------------
The most common question the Orchid Technical Support department
gets regarding installation of Windows drivers is from people who
have installed the drivers using KINSTALL, yet when they go into
the Windows Control Panel the Kelvin driver icon doesn't show up.
This problem is almost exclusively caused by memory managers
loaded in your config.sys file. If you're using QEMM or EMM386
(or a similar type of memory manager), you need to exclude the
Kelvin's RAM and ROM memory area so your memory manager doesn't
try to use that area. The syntax for EMM386 and QEMM is to add
the statement X=A000-C7FF to the EMM or QEMM setup line in your
config.sys file. If you are using QEMM's "Stealth" feature (ST:M
or ST:F), you also need to add the statement XST=C000 to your
line in config.sys. Then reboot, and look for the icon in
Windows. If you use QEMM, it may be necessary to re-run the
Optimize program after adding the Kelvin exclusions.
