OSVIMACH - INSTALL.EXE DOES NOT WORK WITH ATI MACH64 VIDEO ADAPTER
01/26/96
=======================================================================
INSTALL.EXE Does Not Work with ATI MACH64 Video Adapter
All OS/2 Releases
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
Newer MACH64 video adapters do not have electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory (EEPROM); therefore, you must use
OS2INST.EXE instead of INSTALL.EXE.
RESOLUTION
To determine if the MACH64 is one with no EEPROM, look at the chip on
the adapter. It will have a number similar to 113-26910-110. The 269
portion of the number indicates the bus architecture. If the two
numbers immediately to the right of the 269 portion are 11 or higher,
the adapter has no EEPROM, and you must use OS2INST.EXE instead of
INSTALL.EXE. (In our example, the numbers are 10, indicating the
adapter DOES have EEPROM.)
