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) .
