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. REQUIREMENTS - Accelerator based products: These drivers will work with either 512K or 1Mbyte of accelerator memory. With 512K, 16 colors will be displayed. On 1Mbyte boards, 256 colors are displayed. For 800x600 operation, the Graphics ULTRA/VANTAGE ROM version must be 1130111513 (v1.3) or newer. For 8514 ULTRA ROMs, the version must be 1330111330 (v1.3) or newer. Please contact ATI Customer Support for ROM upgrade details.

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. 7) 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 ULTRA driver, all ATI ULTRA drivers will be copied. This method eliminates the need for Setup to reuse the ATI driver disk repeatedly for post alternate driver selections since the required drivers will already be present on your hard drive.
