This menu allows the user to specify a directory, from which
the installations will be made.
       
The INSTALL program expects all auxiliary files to be in
their proper directories as the Distribution diskettes.
    
If you are running INSTALL from a Utilities directory, such
as "C:\COMBUTIL," you will have to enter a path name to the
source directory, that contains files the INSTALL program
may require at any time.
   
For example, to install AutoCAD drivers from the Distribution
diskette in drive A, enter 'A:\ACAD' for the source directory.
NOTE: Entering 'A:\' will also be acceptable.


20
This option sets your Graphics Adapter for a 132x25 text mode.
132 columns and 25 rows of text can now be displayed.
  
This mode is functional with all monitors.
  
NOTE: 132 column mode can only be used by software which is 
      written to support 132 columns on the screen. Check your
      software users manual or call your dealer to confirm that
      the application will run in this mode.

26
This option is used to configure the mouse port for your computer
environment. You have the choice of selecting either the Primary
Address, Secondary Address or Disabled.
   
The factory default setting for the mouse port is Disabled. To 
activate the mouse port, select the Primary Address option.
Secondary address is used only if there is an address conflict
at 23Ch - 23Fh (some serial cards may use this address).
   
If your system has cards at both port addresses 23Ch - 23Fh and
238h - 23Bh, the mouse port must then be disabled.
   
Upon selecting the mouse port address, you will be prompted to
define the IRQ (interrupt request) level to be used by the mouse.


27
Use the Up- and Down-arrow keys to scroll through the options.
    
If your monitor is not shown on this list, then select the 
'Custom' option. This option will allow you to customize the
CRT parameters to your specific monitor. 
   
By referring to the documentation supplied with your monitor
you should then have a good idea of the frequencies which your
monitor can support, and the interlacing scheme it uses; this 
information will help you to better select one of the available 
customization options.
    
The highlighted monitor selection will be written to EEPROM
only if you choose to save it.
  
Installed modes may also be sized/positioned via 'Custom...'


28
This option sets your Graphics Adapter for a 132x44 text mode.
132 columns and 44 rows of text can now be displayed.

     Type of monitor attached to the adapter
þ  Contents of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
þ  Contents of your CONFIG.SYS file
þ  Contents of the EEPROM in your Graphics Adapter


31
This option enables the user to set up a power-up
configuration for the bus mouse. 
    
You will need to select a non-conflicting port Address, as
well as the Interrupt Level in order to successfully
configure the mouse.


32
This entry should contain a complete DOS path to the
directory where you intend to store the Adapter Interface
files.  It should have the following format:
   
drive:\directory
    
Type or edit the DOS path using the keys indicated at the
bottom of your screen, then press <Enter> to accept.
   
The installation program assumes that the source files are to
be copied there from the default directory. (i.e., the drive
and directory where you initiated this installation.)
Normally this would be your floppy diskette drive A:


33
Select this option to enable the 8 bit host-to-video memory
data transfer.


34
Memory Aperture allows the video memory to be mapped into the system
memory address space. Doing so, will greatly improve the tranfer speed
of data from host to the video memory.
    
Aperture location will be set for you automatically to the highest
available address depending on the bus type. The Aperture size
will be automatically set to 1M or 4M, based on the amount of video
memory present on your video adapter.
   
On ISA machines with over 12Mb of installed system memory, the Aperture
must be disabled.
  
You may now Enable or Disable the Memory Aperture feature.


35
Available starting memory Aperture Addresses are shown as dots (ù)
in the "Address Map". If an address you select is reserved by other
hardware, for example, extended memory or peripheral card, then you
should choose another address location.  NOTE: Reserved areas
marked (R), (S) or (B) must not be selected.
   
To select a valid Aperture starting address, move the highlight to
an unused area, and the "Aperture Location" field above the map
will indicate your selected starting address.  Press <Enter> to
accept the selection.
    
The highlighted Aperture Address will be written to EEPROM only if
you elect to save it, when in the "Set Power-up Configuration" menu.


36
You will be prompted to specify the source and destination
directories, while being closely guided through the driver
installations.
    
Most of the drivers are present on disk #1, and this is the disk
which you should start off with. The installation utility will then
provide you with further instructions, asking you to insert other
diskette(s) when necessary.


37
This entry should contain a complete DOS path to the
directory where you intend to store the grayscale CRYSTAL (R)
fonts.  It should have the following format:
    
drive:\directory
    
Accept the name shown on the screen or edit the DOS path
to a directory of your choice, using keys indicated at the 
bottom of your screen, then press <Enter>.
   
The installation program assumes that the source files are to
be copied from the drive:\directory where you initiated this
installation.  Normally this would be your floppy diskette 
drive A:



38
Supply a one character entry for the drive from which your
system ordinarily boots.
  
In many cases it is drive 'C', so press <Enter> to accept
it, otherwise enter the boot drive.
    
The installation program will then reference AUTOEXEC.BAT
file and modify CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of
the boot drive.


39
This entry should contain a complete DOS path to the
directory where you intend to store the Graphics Adapter
Utilities.  It should have the following format:
    
drive:\directory
    
Accept the default path shown on the screen or edit it
to a directory of your choice, using keys indicated at the
bottom of your screen; then press <Enter>.
   
The installation program assumes that the source files are to
be copied from the drive:\directory where you initiated this
installation.  Normally this would be your floppy diskette
drive A.


40
8 or 16 bit ROM operation can be selected for your Graphics
Adapter. 
   
When the card is installed in an 8 bit slot, 8 bit operation will
automatically be selected; and when installed in a 16 bit slot,
the video RAM will always use a 16 bit RAM access, but the ROM 
(which contains the video BIOS) may be accessed with an 8 or
16 bit datapath.


41
In order to achieve high performance from your Graphics Card, 
select the 16 bit option for ROM operation.
   
The INSTALL program will perform a test for 16 bit operation 
and display a message if 16 bit operation can not be attained. 
If your system does not support 16 bit ROM access, this does 
not indicate a problem with your Graphics Adapter or your 
system - it simply means that the system manufacturer has 
chosen not to implement the IBM standard for ROM address timing
in the interest of higher performance in other areas.
   
If this is the case, select the 8 bit option and press <Enter>.


42
This option enables the user to select the Power-up Video mode of
the Graphics Adapter - i.e. the mode that the adapter will be set
to after the computer is powered up or reset.
   
The video mode setup information will be saved in the on-board 
EEPROM, thus retaining the user-selected power-up mode even after
the power is turned off.
  
Your Graphics Adapter can be set to wake up in one of the following
text modes :
  
                        þ  VGA

another menu will appear, asking for the choice of foreground color.
   
As well, a dual adapter configuration may be selected, if needed.


45
Selection of this item will start your Graphics Adapter in CGA mode.

     
Because this mode has the lowest resolution available on this card,
it is recommended that this mode is used as a default, only if
the majority of your software is CGA self-booting software.


46
Selection of this item will start your Graphics Adapter in Hercules
text mode. 
  
It is recommended that this mode is used as a default, only if
the majority of your software is monochrome.
  
If you are using a color monitor, when you select this option, you
will be required to choose a color (either white, green or amber).
   
Almost all Hercules Graphics programs use this resolution.


47
Selection of this item will start your Graphics Adapter in special
Hercules text mode. 
  
However, only a small number of programs such as PrintMaster or 
some Oriental word processing programs use this resolution. 
  
Do not use this mode unless the 720x350 Hercules mode fails to run
your Hercules compatible programs.


48
You now have the choice of choosing either the COLOR or MONO
option; if you have a Color monitor, you can :
   
        1. select the COLOR option, and then choose one of
           the available color resolutions, or
        2. select the MONO option, and then choose one of 3
           possible foreground colors.
       
If you possess a Monochrome monitor, you may select the MONO
option, resulting in a default color. Otherwise, you may
select the COLOR option, which will interpret the colors as
shades of gray.


49
This final menu allows the user to select the resolution
of the VGA Color mode.
   
Two options are available:
   
    þ  CV80 - VGA Color high resolution 80 column text mode
    þ   C80 - VGA Color low resolution 80 column text mode

This final menu allows the user to select the resolution
of the EGA Color mode.
   
Two options are available:
   
    þ  CE80 - EGA Color high resolution 80 column text mode
    þ   C80 - EGA Color low resolution 80 column text mode


51
With your Graphics Adapter being the only video card in your
system, you can choose either the COLOR or MONO option; if you
have a Color monitor, you can :
   
        1. select the COLOR option, and then choose one of
           the available color resolutions, or
        2. select the MONO option, and then choose one of 3
           possible foreground colors.
       
If you possess a Monochrome monitor, you may select the MONO 
option, resulting in a default color. Otherwise, you may 
select the COLOR option, which will interpret the colors as
shades of gray.
   
If you would like to set your video card for dual adapter 
configuration, then select the DUAL ADAPTER option.


52
You now need to decide which video card you wish to serve
as the Primary adapter.
   
Primary adapter is the start-up video adapter that becomes
active upon power-up or system reset.
   
Having selected your Primary adapter, you will be asked to
make a choice for your Secondary adapter in the menu that
follows.


53
For the Secondary adapter you have the choice of selecting
either the Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) or the Color
Graphics Adapter (CGA).
   
In the following menu you will be requested to choose the
power-up video mode for your Primary adapter.
   
NOTE: If you have selected MDA as your Secondary adapter,
      then the Primary adapter can not be configured for 
      Monochrome operation. Similarly, with CGA selected
      for the Secondary, the Primary can't be set to work
      in Color mode.


54
Enable or disable zero wait-state support for video RAM access.
    
In order to achieve higher performance from your Graphics Card, 
enable the zero-wait state feature.


55
VGA and Accelerator share the same video memory. This option
allows one to select the VGA memory size by setting the VGA 
boundary to Shared, 256Kb, 512Kb or 1024Kb.
   
In Shared mode, both the VGA and Accelerator have read/write access
to all of the video memory. The remaining options - 256Kb, 512Kb
and 1024Kb determine the size of video memory to be allocated solely
for VGA purposes. Once set, the Accelerator is prohibited from
writing to it.
   
   
Hint - The recommended settings are as follows:
   
                        Shared for 1M on board
                        512K   for 2M on board


58
The INSTALL Program needs to access some files from the
Installation diskettes. Depending on the format of these
diskettes, you should make a selection of the floppy drive
that will be used for installation.
  
Select drive A: or drive B: for your floppy drive.
   
Otherwise, if you have all your installation software residing
on a local hard drive or a network, then just type in the 
letter of your hard\network drive.
  
Supply a one character entry for the drive and press <Enter>
