ATI Windows 3.1 Display Disk (VGA) - April 10, 1992 release
========================================================================
For: ATI VGA Wonder, Plus, Integra, XL (VGA based)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 1992, ATI Technologies Inc.
All Rights Reserved
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATI Technologies Inc. reserves all rights with respect to the programs
and drivers supplied.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY:
======================
This software is provided without charge. This software is provided "as
is". ATI makes no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, either expressed or implied. ATI (where allowed by
state, federal, or provincial law) assumes no liability, either
incidental or consequential arising from use of this product.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS - VGA based ATI products:
=====================================
Various modes require different hardware and memory. If the driver's
hardware and memory requirements are not met at load time, the driver
will exit to DOS and report an error. This error will also occur if
the card's monitor configuration is incorrect (i.e. card is configured
for a PS2 monitor and the selected resolution is higher than 640x480).
Please note that mode 65H (1024x768/16 paged type) is not supported.
Instead, mode 55H (1024x768/16 planar type) is supported. V3 VGA Wonder
do not support mode 55H. A V3 VGA Wonder card is identified by having V3
as the first two characters in the ROM version label. If this resolution
is required and you own a V3 VGA Wonder, ATI has a hardware upgrade
program in place. Please contact ATI Customer Support for details.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
============
All driver files required by Windows are in compressed format. Compressed
files are indentified by having an underscore character (_) as the last
character in the filename's extension. Setup will expand these files
automatically during the driver installation. These files can be expanded
manually by using the utility program EXPAND.EXE supplied with your
Windows 3.1 package (use the -r option). These files are copied to the
Windows SYSTEM sub-directory.
To Install ATI's Windows 3.1 Drivers:
1) Setup Windows using the Microsoft VGA display driver. Insure that
this setup is working before proceeding.
If you are upgrading from Windows 3.0 to 3.1, set the display driver
to Microsoft VGA in your current copy of Windows 3.0 before running
the upgrade installation.
2) Exit Windows.
3) Change directory (CD) to your Windows directory.
4) Place the ATI Windows 3.1 Display Driver Disk into drive A (or B).
5) Type "setup" at the DOS prompt.
6) Select Display - "Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware manufact.."
7) Select the desired screen resolution and press Enter. Setup will copy
files from the diskette into your Windows directories. Setup may ask
for some Windows diskettes. Enter "A:" (or "B:") so setup continues
to use the ATI driver disk.
8) When Setup is complete, type "win" at the MS-DOS prompt to start
Windows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes - General:
===============
The ATI driver disk is designed to copy all available drivers to your
Windows SYSTEM directory depending on which type of ATI product you
own. For example, if you select any ATI VGA driver, all ATI VGA
drivers will be copied. This method reduces the need for Setup to
reuse the ATI driver disk repeatedly for post alternate driver selections.
Notes - VGA based drivers:
=========================
The following drivers contain support for V3 VGA Wonder cards:
. 640x480/256 Small & Large font (512K)
. 800x600/16 Small Font (256K)
. 800x600/256 Small & Large font (512K)
For windowed DOS sessions, it is recommended that you select "High Graphics"
for the MSDOS and DOS application PIF files. It is required if you select
the 1024x768/16 color driver.
The following stock Microsoft drivers can be selected:
. VGA (640x480/16 color)
. SVGA (800x600/16 color) - except the V3 VGA Wonder
