Tseng ET4000 - Windows 3.0 and 3.0a Display Drivers
The instructions below apply to Windows 3.0 as supplied on 5 1/4" HD diskette
media.
INSTRUCTIONS - FIRST TIME WINDOWS 3.0 and 3.0a INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions contained in the WIN30DRV.DOC file to install the
Tseng ET4000 display drivers.
INSTRUCTIONS - WINDOWS 3.0 or 3.0a ALREADY INSTALLED
To use the Tseng ET4000 Windows drivers you need to copy the files on the
supplied ET4000 driver diskette to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
After you copy the files, change the display configuration from within Windows
itself to one of the extended drivers.
See the Windows documentation for further information.
IMPORTANT
If you have Windows 3.0, you also need to copy the SETUP.W30 file as SETUP.INF
before you run the SETUP program.
If you have Windows 3.0a, you also need to copy the SETUP.W3A file as SETUP.INF
before you run the SETUP program.
When you run the Windows Setup to change to a different driver Windows may
prompt you for some of the Windows Installation diskettes. The drivers use
display fonts which are contained on the standard Windows distribution
diskettes.
The enclosed drivers are generic and should work with most ET4000 based boards.
The drivers have various display memory requirements and of course your display
monitor must be able to support the resolution you select.
The drivers support the following:
Resolution Mode Minimum display Driver name Windows Font

** uses Windows 3.0 or 3.0a supplied VGA driver
xx requires a Sierra Semiconductor or compatible HICOLOR DAC
The 65k color drivers require a Sierra MODE2 capable DAC, if your display
board can NOT support this mode Windows will not run with these
drivers and return you to the DOS prompt after the the driver displays a
message "video driver unable to set desired mode". You can try the 65k
drivers and if your board is unable to support them, simply select another
driver running Windows Setup from the DOS prompt.
IMPORTANT
It is important that the drivers be installed properly, replacement
grabbers (GR2 extension) and Virtual-Display-Device handler (386 extension) are
included to properly support the extended feature set of the ET4000 VGA chip.
