- 1) Technical Information
- ========================
-
- The drivers run with the following boards:
-
- V7-MIRAGE P-64
- V7-MERCURY P-64
- SPEA Graphiti HiLite
- SPEA Graphiti FIRE
-
-
- 2) Installation
- ===============
- (Copy all created files onto a empty, formatted disk, in the following
- named "BigMicro Disk").
-
- 1) Put the disk with the "SPEA BigMicro" software in drive a:
- and type
- A:
- INSTALL
- Follow the installations hints.
-
- 2) Change to the \USTATION directory.
-
- 3) Run the USCONFIG program to select the device driver
- for your SPEA board.
- Select a second adapter if needed.
- Note: In the configuration menu there are offered:
- "SPEA S3 PROT. MODE DRIVER" - 2D driver for V7 boards
- "SPEA i860 DRIVER WITH 3D FUNCTIONS"- 3D driver for FIRE
- "SPEA i860 PROT. MODE DRIVER " - 2D driver for FIRE
- "SPEA TMS PROT. MODE DRIVER" - 2D driver for HiLite
-
- 4) Select 'Exit' and 'Save'.
-
- 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.
- Note: - In a DoubleScreen solution (2 * S3) MSPEAPM can be set as
- follows:"set mspeapm=-c11 -v0 -b -lc10 -lv0"
- In a DoubleScreen solution (FIRE & S3) MSPEAPM can be set as
- follows: "set mspeapm=-c0 -v0 -b -lc10 -lv0"
- - 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.
-
- 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 (FIRE)
- 1: Graphiti secondary board (FIRE)
- 10: SPEA V7-board with activated VGA part
- (MERCURY- MIRAGE serie with ISA-,VL- oder PCI-Bus)
- 11: SPEA V7-board with deactivated VGA part
-
- -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 programs 860MODE/HIMODE.
- 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
- z.B. Fire for the right screen, MERCURY for the left
- screen, each with the highest resolution.
-
- SET MSPEAPM=-C11 -V0 -LC10 -LV0
- MERCURY P-64 (PCI/VL) for the left screen,
- MERCURY P-64 (PCI/VL) with inaktiv VGA part for right screen,
- each with the highest resolution.
-
-
-
- 3) Possible board combinations
- ==============================
-
- For the Doublescreen configuration with 2 SPEA V7-cards you have
- the following possibilities:
- 2 x MERCURY P-64 PCI
- 2 x MERCURY P-64 VL
-
- For the Doublescreen configuration with 1 SPEA V7-card and the
- FIRE you have the following possibilities:
- 1. Card: SPEA V7-Karte (s.o.)
