-
- [Success]
- SYSCHK has found no known PCI compliance issues.
- Proceed with installation.
-
- [NoProblem]
- No problems were found by this test.
-
- [Failure]
- SYSCHK has found a problem which may require system modifications.
- Please correct before proceeding with installation.
-
- [NoPCIBiosFound]
- SYSCHK could not find a PCI BIOS. SYSCHK will terminate.
-
- [Compaq]
- SYSCHK has detected a Compaq Presario or Prolinea Computer with
- a BIOS date of 03/01/95 or earlier. To ensure correct PCI
- initialization, contact Compaq for a BIOS upgrade or refer to
- the EDGE 3D Installation Guide.
-
- [MrBiosFound]
- The system BIOS does not support the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator.
- Please contact your motherboard manufacturer for a BIOS upgrade
- (MR BIOS V3.22 or later).
-
- [AMI1993Found]
- SYSCHK found AMI BIOS with a date of 3/1/95.
-
- [AST104Found]
- SYSCHK found AST BIOS version 1.04.
-
- [Phoenix402Found]
- SYSCHK found Phoenix BIOS version 4.02.
-
- [MotherBoardBiosFailure]
- Please do not put the EDGE 3D card into your PC until you have
- upgraded your PCI system BIOS.
-
- [AwardFound]
- SYSCHK found Award BIOS dated January 1995 or ealier.
-
- [Phoenix10XFound]
- SYSCHK found Phoenix BIOS version 1.0x.
-
- [AutoIntNotSupported]
- This BIOS may not automatically assign interrupts or correctly enable
- the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator or other peripherals. You should
- ensure that the PCI configuration options available under the system
- BIOS setup set interrupts correctly. Press the appropriate key
- (typically F1, F2 or DEL) to enter the setup program after the memory
- test during system boot. Follow the on-screen instructions to select
- the PCI configuration menu. Set interrupts to LEVEL and assign an
- unused interrupt (typically 9, 10, or 11) to the slot containing the
- EDGE 3D PCI card.
-
- Note:
- Automatic PCI interrupt assignment, adopted as a default by system
- manufacturers, may generate conflicts between ISA and PCI interrupts.
- You should manually set ISA card interrupt values to non-conflicting
- values by observing which interrupt has been assigned to the EDGE 3D.
-
- [AriesFound]
- SYSCHK found an Intel Aries PCI bridge chip.
-
- [MercuryFound]
- SYSCHK found an Intel Mercury PCI bridge chip.
-
- [TritonFound]
- SYSCHK found an Intel Triton PCI bridge chip.
-
- [SIS496Found]

-
- [OPTI822Found]
- SYSCHK found an Opti 822 PCI bridge chip.
-
- [OPTI558Found]
- SYSCHK found an Opti 558 PCI bridge chip.
-
- [OverWriteVgaDrv]
- The default Windows 95 VGA.DRV driver could create system conflicts.
- VGA.DRV must be updated with the one on the EDGE 3D CDROM prior to
- placing the EDGE card in your computer. SYSCHK will copy a working
- VGA.DRV into your Windows system directory.
-
- [OverWriteVgaDrvOld]
- The default Windows 95 VGA.DRV driver could create system conflicts.
- Please restart the computer in MSDOS mode and copy VGA.DRV from the EDGE
- 3D CDROM into your Windows 95 system directory (e.g. /WINDOWS/SYSTEM)
- before installing the EDGE 3D card.
-
- [MultifunctionNotSupported]
- This BIOS does not support the multifunction portion of the PCI
- specification. Contact your PC or motherboard manufacturer for
- a fully compliant system BIOS upgrade before installing your
- Multimedia Accelerator.
-
- [ASUS_SP4]
- ASUS SP4 BIOS found.
-
- The system BIOS does not support multifunction cards correctly;
- therefore the EDGE 3D Multimedia card will not work in this system.
- Please contact the manufacturer of your motherboard for a BIOS
- upgrade.
-
- [OnboardIDE]
- This chipset has an onboard IDE controller, with a multiplexed
- address bus, which will cause degradation in graphics and audio
- performance. For improved performance use an ISA IDE controller
- card and disable the onboard IDE controller.
-
- [PCIToPCIFound]
- A PCI-PCI bridge was found. For best performance, the EDGE 3D Multimedia
- Accelerator card should be located on the primary PCI bus. See your hardware
- documentation to determine which slots are on the primary PCI bus.
-
- [DellP60Found]
- SYSCHK found a Dell P60.
-
- Your system BIOS may not support all interrupt configurations. We suggest
- you reserve IRQ 9 for the EDGE 3D Multimedia Accelerator, and set other
- peripherals to use other available interrupts.
-
- [CheckingSystem]
- SYSCHK will now check your system for full PCI compliance and
- compatibility with the multimedia technology contained within
- your EDGE 3D accelerator.
-
- [NVINITCopyFail]
- NVINIT.SYS copy from CDROM failed. SYSCHK will continue to setup
- CONFIG.SYS.
