- *** Release Notes ***
-
-
- Setup and Utilities:
- -------------------
-
- - Setup program v1.02
- Running the SETUP program to select a monitor is highly recommended,
- particularly if your monitor does not support all the resolutions that
- the board supports.
- Note that if you select a monitor through the new Windows Monitor
- Program included with PowerDesk, the selection is also valid for
- AutoCAD DOS driver, so the DOS Setup program does not need to be used.
-
- - FNT8X14.COM
- The 8x14 font has been removed from the video bios as of revision 838-3.
- This was done, as per VESA recommendations, in order to make room for
- VESA Bios features such as VBE2.0 and VBE/DDC.
- Should the removal of this font cause problems with any application
- you are running, it can be installed by running the FNT8X14.COM TSR
- program. To do this, simply type c:\mga\setup\fnt8x14.
-
-
- AutoCAD Driver v1.02:
- --------------------
-
- - AutoCAD R13 Support
- AutoCAD R13 is supported. Dynaview/3D also works with R13 with
- exception that it cannot render the newly introduced 3D solids.
-
- - DynaView/3D
- DynaView/3D is supported on the MGA Millennium family.
- Keep in mind that 3D solids in R13 are not supported by Dynaview/3D.
-
- - 3D Studio
- 3D Studio 3 and 4 are supported.
-
- - AutoCAD for Windows:
- The AutoCAD for Windows driver is available on the PowerDesk disks. It
- accelerates AutoCAD for Windows Rel 12 and 13 by directly utilizing
- the MGA hardware, and comes with a Bird's Eye / Spy Glass viewer callable
- from the Autodesk DSVIEWER command.
-
-
- - DynaView/3D for Windows:
- This application (like AutoCAD for Windows) is available on the PowerDesk
- disks. It allows real-time manipulation of 3D models created under
- AutoCAD for Windows. Note that if the current windows mode,as selected via
- the MGA control panel, is not a 3D mode then DynaView/3D will be limited
- to wireframe.
