-
- 1.) Don't try to use former miro Windows 3.xx drivers for Windows 95.
- In case you tried to use these drivers make sure that all former
- miro Windows 3.xx drivers and entries in your SYSTEM.INI file are removed.
-
- In the SYSTEM.INI you have to remove the complete entries in the section
- [928.drv], [Twin.right] and [Twin.left]. Delete in your Win95 the follo-
- wing files if available:

- Del \\WSIZER.*
- Del \\WADJUST.*
- Del \\MIROLOGO.RLE
-
- Delete the miroWINTOOL group and the includes icons
- on your Windows95 desktop too !!!
-
- 2.) In case you are using a miro monitor or a common model please install
- a new monitor file. This monitor.inf file is on this installation disk.
- Make sure that there is no older OEM*.INF monitor file in your Win95\INF
- subdirectory. This subdirectory is hidden, but you can make it visible
- by entering the DIR /a command. All INF files are ASCII files and you
- can read these files with every editor, so please make sure that you
- don't delete needed INF files. Look into the file before you delete it !!!
- If you are using the miro monitor files of the original Windows 95 CD,
- please use the miro monitor file of this disk.
-
- 3.) Everytime you install new display drivers in Windows 95 a new OEM*.INF
- file will be copied into your WIN95\INF subdirectory. Windows 95 doesn't
- remove the old *.inf files. Make sure that only the specified OEM*.INF file
- is available. This could prevent many problems!
-
- 4.) In case Windows 95 doesn't start VLB computers, you can change the base-
- address for the linear memory adressing. This decimal value should be
- dividable by 1048576(1024KB)
-
- System.ini:
- [Display]
- LinBase=<Adress>
-
- i.e. 67108864, 268435456
-
-
- 5.) Some of the older miro graphic PCI boards are not compatible to the new PCI
- standard rev. 2.0. Therefore you might get problems during the startup of
- your system. This is especially true for some later chipsets (e.g.
- Intel Triton). These chipsets and the according Plug and Play BIOS
- don't support older boards conforming to PCI rev. 1.x.
-
- 6) At the time the miro OCTO S3 Graphicadapters were developed,
- the VESA standard V.1.0 was actual. So these graphicadapters
- are compatible only to this older version of this standard.
- Newer VESA standards and included video modes won't be supported !!!
