This README file includes support instructions for FRAMEWORK II and
III and describes the contents of the AVGA1 Drivers/Utilities disk.

   I. Framework II requires that drivers to be installed are always in
      the root directory of DRIVE A.  Installation instructions for
      Framework II and Framework III are as follows:

      AVGA1 Drivers for FRAMEWORK II

      Several drivers are included to support many different config-
      urations with the AVGA1's extended mode capability.  There are
      drivers that support both 132 columns and 800x600 graphics
      mode in the following table:

      If this is your first time doing installation, you can follow
      the instructions in the Framework II's Getting Started Manual
      manual and select the Standard IBM EGA, VGA and PS/2 display
      drivers.  Make sure your Framework II is functioning properly
      before proceeding with the installation of any of the AVGA1
      drivers.

      Setting up Framework II:

      1.  Run the SETUP program from the Framework II "Setup" disk
	  from drive A: or from your Framework II subdirectory on
	  your hard disk.  Type:
	  ====> SETUP [ENTER]

      2.  At the "Welcome to Framework II's Setup Program" menu:
	  ====> Select option "(2):  ALL OTHER USES OF THE SETUP
		PROGRAM."

      3.  Now you need to tell the Setup Program the location of
	  the FWSETUP file that stores the current configuration.
	  ====> If you are using a floppy system, insert your
		SYSTEM DISK 2 into drive B: and select option (1).
	  ====> If you are using a hard disk system, select option
		(2), since FWSETUP should be in the Framework II
		subdirectory.

      4.  At the "Main Menu"
	  ====> Select (2) CONFIGURATION

      5.  You are now in the "Change Configuration" menu:
	  ====> Select (1) PRIMARY HARDWARE
	  ====> Select (1) SCREEN DRIVER
	  ====> Select (7) I want to enter my own driver file name.

      6.  Enter the name of the driver you would like to use from
	  Table 1.0 above and hit [ENTER].  The complete driver name
	  including the .SC extension is required.

      7.  Type "M" to return to the main menu.

      8.  At the Main Menu:
	  ====> Select (7) SAVE ALL NEW SETTINGS

      9.  You will then be prompted to insert your "Setup" disk into
	  drive A.  At this time, insert the AVGA1 Utilities/Drivers
	  disk in A: which contains the Framework II AVGA1 drivers.
	  Press the space bar when the driver disk is in drive A:.

     10.  The Setup program will now save the current configuration
	  to the FWSETUP configuration file:
	  ====> Select (1) for floppy disk system
		(2) for hard disk system
		Then strike any key.

     11.  You have now installed Framework II with the new AVGA1
	  driver.

  II. AVGA1 Drivers for FRAMEWORK III

      Several drivers are included to support many different configur-
      ations with the AVGA1's extended mode capability.  There are
      drivers that support both 132 columns and 800x600 graphics mode
      in the following table:

      Driver               Desktop Format          Zoom (F9) Format
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      AVGAFW31.SC          132x25 text             640x480 graphics
      AVGAFW32.SC          132x43 text             640x480 graphics

      If this is your first time doing installation, you can follow
      the instructions in the Framework III's "Up and Running
      Framework III" manual and select the "IBM PS/2 Model 50, 60 &
      80 drivers (VGA)" as the screen display.  Make sure your
      Framework III is functioning properly before proceeding with
      the installation of any of the AVGA1 drivers.

      Setting up Framework III:

      1.  If you have installed Framework III on your hard disk, copy
	  all the Framework III AVGA1 drivers to your Framework III
	  subdirectory.  For example, type the following:
	  ====> C:
	  ====> CD\ FW3
	  ====> Copy A:\AVGAFW3*.SC

      2.  Run the SETUPFW program from the Framework III "Setup" disk
	  from drive A: or from your Framework III subdirectory on
	  your hard disk.  Type:
	  ====> SETUPFW [ENTER]

      3.  At the "Welcome to Framework III's Setup Program" menu:
	  ====> Select option "(2):  ALL OTHER USES OF THE SETUP
	  PROGRAM."

      4.  Now you need to tell the Setup Program the location of the
	  FWSETUP file that stores the current configuration.
	  ====> If you are using a floppy system, insert your SYSTEM
	  DISK 2 into drive A: and select option (1).
	  ====> If you are using a hard disk system, select option (2),
		since FWSETUP should be in the Framework III
		subdirectory.

      5.  At the "Main Menu"
	  ====> Select (1) Configuration

      6.  You are now in the "Configuration Options" menu
	  ====> Select (1) Hardware
	  ====> Select (1) Screen driver
	  ====> Select (1) The screen driver I need isn't listed here
		[ENTER]
	  ====> Select (2) I want to enter my own driver file name
		[ENTER]

      7.  Enter the name of the driver you would like to use from
	  Table 1.0 above and hit [ENTER].  The complete driver name
	  including the .SC extension is required.

      8.  Type "M" to return to the main menu.

     10.  You will then be prompted "On which disk drive will Setup
	  find your Drivers Disk?".
	  ====> If you copied the Framework III AVGA1 driver files
		to drive C:, type C
	  ====> If you are using a floppy system, insert the AVGA1
		Utilities\Drivers disk in drive A: or B: and type A
		or B.

     11.  The Setup program will now need to write the new settings
	  to your FWSETUP file:
	  ====> If you are using a floppy system, select (1) SYSTEM
		DISK 2 (which must be in drive A:)
	  ====> If you are using a hard disk system, select (2).

     12.  You have now installed Framework III with the new AVGA1
	  driver.

		     routines to speed up video operations on access
		     to the BIOS.
      SETMODE.EXE  - provides the ability to set the standard VGA
		     and extended VGA modes of the AVGA1.

   X. WINDOWS 3.0

  XI. WINDOWS 3.1

 XII. AUTOCAD Rel. 10c2, 10c7, 10c10 and 11c2

XIII. MS OS/2 ver. 1.21

 XIV. P-CAD

  XV. Other support for the AVGA1 Card:

      1.  ORCAD at 800x600 by selecting the Paradise 800x600 driver
      from the ORCAD screen options and the VESA 800x600x16
      (VESA800.DRV) driver by typing this in as an option from the
      ORCAD screen options.

      2.  COLORIX from RIX Softworks at 800x600, 16 color graphics
      mode.  Copy the RIXVIDEO.DSC file, which can be found in the 
      \MISC directory of the AVGA1 Drivers/Utilities Diskette, to your
      COLORIX directory.  This file also includes the following line:

		 G = 58

      This will enable any RIX paint program to use the AVGA1 board
      at 800x600 resolution.  Next, run VGASETUP.EXE, select
      "Display Resolution" and select "G -- 800x600 16" for
      resolution, and "Save Configuration File".  Make sure that
      the "Clear Scratch At Start" is set to "Yes" from the
      "Initial Conditions" option in the VGASETUP program.  If this
      is set to "No", every time you change the resolution of the
      display, garbage will be displayed in the Colorix screen.

      3.  GENERIC CADD 5.0 using both Super VESA and Simple VESA
      supported modes.  Run the VESALIST program after you have
      installed GENERIC CADD 5.0 and this will display which VESA
      modes the AVGA1 card supports.  You need to then run the
      CONFIG program to install these modes.  Please see your GENERIC
      CADD 5.0 User's Guide for more details.
