64300 Wingine DGX OEM BIOS Utilities

Revision:		1.0a
Release Date:		March 28, 1994

DOS UTILITIES:
1.	SETCOL is a utility for setting the Raw and Column of screen.
1.	SETADDR (Ver. 1.0) is a utility for setting the starting address of
	the linear video memory.
2.	SETRATE (Ver. 1.1) is a utility which allows the user to set the
	vertical refresh rate for a given resolution and bits/pixel value,
	or to display the current settings and available choices.
3.	MONSETUP (Ver. 1.3) is a setup utility which allows the user to choose
	a monitor type and to manually adjust the vertical refresh rates and
	screen centering for the Super VGA video modes supported by the video
	BIOS.  It consists of four files:

	(a)	MONSETUP.EXE	Executable setup utility
	(b)	MONSETUP.INI	Setup information used by MONSETUP
	(c)	CHIPSCPL.INI	Monitor type and vertical refresh rate
				information file in the format used by the
				CHIPSCPL.EXE utility which runs under Windows
	(d)	CENTER.EXE	TSR program which initializes the vertical
				refresh rates for all modes and adjusts
				screen centering after changing modes

	To install, copy these files to a subdirectory;  then change to the
	subdirectory where you installed these files.  To run the utility,
	type MONSETUP at the DOS prompt and follow the directions given on
	the screen.

	In the initial screen, the user is prompted for the path of the
	directory in which Windows and CHIPSCPL are installed.	This CHIPSCPL
	utility comes with the 64300 display driver package and allows the
	user to select the monitor type and vertical refresh rate along with
	other parameters defining the video mode to be used within Windows.
	The MONSETUP utility will locate and use the same copy of CHIPSCPL.INI
	which is used by the CHIPSCPL utility.	Changes made in one environ-
	ment, DOS or Windows, are preserved in CHIPSCPL.INI and the same mode
	is used in the other environment.  However, the user should keep in
	mind that any change to the vertical refresh rate will require new
	screen centering information to be set (if desired) with MONSETUP.
	The path may be left blank if the CHIPSCPL utility will not be used.

	The next screen allows the user to choose a monitor type from a list
	of previously defined monitors.  MONSETUP uses the monitor type to
	choose the highest available refresh rate that the monitor will
	support for each mode.	If these settings are acceptable and no
	screen centering is needed, the user can exit the utility at this
	point.	If the user presses <ESC> in this screen or any following
	screen, a prompt will appear asking whether to save any changes made
	up to that time, before exiting to DOS.

	To continue with the setup, a screen will appear for each resolution
	and color depth category.  The monitor timing values for each available
	refresh rate are shown, and the user may adjust the selection which is
	highlighted in magenta.  The initial selection is either calculated
	from the newly selected or previously selected monitor type with
	MONSETUP or CHIPSCPL.  Press <ENTER> to confirm the selection, use
	the arrow keys to center the screen image on the monitor, and press
	<ENTER> again when the centering is complete.

	After saving changes made with MONSETUP, the user must install the
	Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) program, CENTER, in order for the
	changes to take effect.  To do this, type <CENTER ON> at the DOS
	prompt.  Once the program is installed, the user may un-install it by
	typing <CENTER OFF> at the DOS prompt.	To re-initialize the current
	settings after saving changes made with MONSETUP, the CENTER program
	must be un-installed and then re-installed to take advantage of the
	new parameters.  MONSETUP will check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the C:
	drive for the CENTER ON command and prompt the user to add this
	command to the file.
