-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Make sure the 62x5 OS/2 Driver disk is labeled "DISP" by using DOS
Label command (C:\DOS\LABEL A: or B:).
2. Install OS/2 v2.1 (if not already installed) and select "VGA" as the
primary display adapter during installation. Do not select "Cirrus Logic"

resolution.
