Er is een file S64WAR.TXT die zwerft op het IBM en op Fernwood BBS'en rond.
Omdat het niet zo groot is, denk ik dat het wel toegestaan is het in de echo te
plaatsen. Volgens die handleiding heb ik het gedaan. Hoewel dat over VRAM gaat,
geldt het ook voor de DRAM uitvoering.
Hier volgt de tekst:

Stealth 64 VRAM README.S3
=======================================================================
INSTALLATION NOTES:
-------------------
1. You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed in order to install this driver.
2. The OS/2 ATTRIB command is used during installation. If you elected not
to install the OS/2 System Utility Programs or you have deleted the
ATTRIB, command you must use Selective Install to restore the ATTRIB
command before continuing.
3. If you previously installed SVGA support, return to VGA resolution using
the new SETVGA procedure found at the end of this README before you
install this driver.
4. You must have run the S64MODE.EXE utility and selected a monitor
from the Stealth 64 Installation disk prior to installing these
drivers. If you have not done this, do so now. Refer to
instructions in the Stealth 64 User's Manual for running
S64MODE.EXE and selecting a monitor.
INSTALLATION:
-------------
This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1. Do not install it
over any display driver other than VGA.
1. Place the Stealth 64 VRAM OS/2 driver diskette into drive A (or any other
diskette drive).
2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.
3. Change to the OS/2 directory. Then type 'attrib -r -s -h screen0*.sys'.
4. Then switch to the floppy drive where you inserted the Stealth 64 OS/2
driver disk. Then, at
the prompt, type the following command:
S3INST A: C:
*** It is important that you do this from the floppy drive.
where: A: is the diskette drive
C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed
This command will copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive. You will be
requested to put disk #2
into the drive.
5. When S3INST has completed executing, remove the diskette from the diskette
drive, perform a shutdown,
and then restart the system.
6. Open the "OS/2 System" folder.
7. Open the "System Setup" folder.
8. Open the "Display Driver Install" (DSPINSTL) object.
When the Display Driver Install window appears, "S3" should be the
default choice. Select "OK".
When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears,
the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" option is preselected.
Select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" option, then
select "OK".
9. The Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility Location windows should
appear. For the Utility Location, type:
C:\S64\UTIL\S64MODE.EXE MONITOR
If you installed S64MODE into a different directory, modify the above
path accordingly. Select "OK".
10. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the S3
Video Accelerator Driver diskette and select Install.
DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the
SVGADATA.PMI file on the drive where the OS2 directory is located.
If the SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be
supported.
11. When the installation is complete, do the following:
a. Open "OS/2 System".
b. Open "System Setup".
c. Open the "System" object. The Screen page of the Settings
notebook lists all the supported resolutions for your
configuration.
d. Select a resolution; then, close the notebook.
12. Perform a shutdown; then, restart the system.
Note that during the installation of this driver a DISPLAY.LOG file is
created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. This file identifies the OS/2 2.1
system files that were updated and indicates whether the installation was
successful. The contents of this file might be useful if you need to report
an installation problem to Diamond Computer Systems.
