Orchid Celsius PCAD Driver:
Resolution:
1280x1024x16 colors
1152x900 x16 colors
1280x960 x16 colors
1024x768 x16 colors
800x600 x16 colors
640x480 x16 colors
PCAD Installation:
1. Change Directory to the "\PCCARDS" directory.
2. Edit the "\PCADDRV.SYS" file, changing the display
driver path/filename so that it points to the newly
installed driver.
The driver is loaded into memory by PCAD, and so requires no
intervention on the part of the user. The CAD package will also remove
the driver from memory upon completion, thus conserving DOS memory.
This driver will default to a resolution of 640x480. To use any other
resolution mode, the OPTION line in the \PCADDRV.SYS must be used.
"display \pccards\pcadagx.drv OPTION <mode>"
Where <mode> is:
0 640 x 400
1 640 x 480
2 800 x 600
3 1024 x 768
4 1152 x 900
5 1280 x 960
6 1280 x 1024
EXAMPLE:
"display \pccards\pcadagx.drv OPTION 3" will use 1024 x 768 mode.
Please note that not all resolution modes may be available, due to
monitor in use, and VRAM available.

Installation:
This program will automatically install the Orchid Windows Drivers and
the Orchid Windows utility "CELSIUS SETUP".
Using the Orchid Windows Driver:
--------------------------------
To configure the driver to display in a different resolution, number of
colors or menu font size use "CELSIUS SETUP".
The "CELSIUS SETUP" is located inside the Control Panel.
1. Select the Celsius Setup icon within the Windows Control Panel
to open the Orchid Setup Utility.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!
If you select either 1280 x 960 or 1024 x 768 resolution in configuring
the Orchid Driver, please be sure your monitor can support these
extended modes. If your monitor does not support the above resolutions,
you will receive a scrambled display. If this happens, delete the
ORCHID.INI file from the Windows directory. Restart Windows and then
rerun the Orchid Setup Utility to select a compatible resolution. If
you are not sure if your monitor can run these resolutions, we recommend
the following actions:
1. Check your monitor's manual.
2. Contact your Dealer.
3. Contact Orchid Technical Support
