This README file contains the following sections:
1) Configuration
2) Driver version characteristics and possible board
combinations
1) Configuration
================
1) Change to the \USTATION directory.
2) Run the USCONFIG program to select the device driver
for your SPEA board.
3) Select a second adapter if needed.
Note: You will be asked whether you want to disable the virtual
graphics page. If you disable the 2nd graphics page you can
choose resolutions up to 256 colors. If you enable the 2nd
graphics page, all possible resolutions are displayed with
16 colors only.
4) Select 'Exit' and 'Save'.
Note: You must reboot your system for changes to take effect.
5) Configuration of the MicroStation device driver via the
environment variable MSPEAPM
You will find the file "MSPEAPM.BAT" in your \SPEA\GDC directory.
In the simplest case you have only to start this file and
the environment variable will be set.
If you don't need a standard configuration you must change
the file:
SET MSPEAPM=-Ccardr -Vx [-LCcardl -LVx]
-Ccardr defines the graphics board type for the single screen or
the graphics board type for the right screen
-Ccardl defines the graphic board for the left screen (only for
dual screen configuration)
cardl, cardr can be:
0: Graphiti main board (HiLite, FIRE, FGA,...)
1: Graphiti secondary board (HiLite, FIRE,...)
10: SPEA V7-board with activated VGA part
(V7-MIRAGE, V7-MERCURY, V7-MERCURY PRO with ISA-, VL- or PCI-bus)
11: SPEA V7-board with deactivated VGA part
(only V7-MERCURY ISA and V7-MERCURY PRO ISA possible)
-Vx video mode for main/left screen
-LVx video mode for right screen
The parameter "x" for SPEA Graphiti you can read in your manual or
after starting the the programs 860MODE, HIMODE, FGAMODE or GDCMODE.
If you work with S3-chip based SPEA V7-boards you can start
VMODE in your \SPEA\GDC directory you get a list of the available
modes.
Note: The driver supports olny 8 or 32 bit color dept.
Examples:
SET MSPEAPM=-C10 -V11
SPEA V7-MERCURY with video mode no. 11
SET MSPEAPM=-C0 -V0 -LC10 -LV0
SPEA FIRE for right screen, V7-MERCURY for left screen
in highest resolution
SET MSPEAPM=-C10 -V0 -LC11 -LV0
V7-MIRAGE for right screen, V7-MERCURY PRO with deactivated
VGA part for left screen in highest resolution
