Before you install the Hercules Dynamite 128/Video Display Driver for

   2. 8_MB of system memory
   3. 2_MB of hard disk space on your Boot Drive

                 F:\Dynamite\OS2\Dyn128\> LOADDSKF D128OS2W.DSK B:	

	
If You're Updating From An Earlier Release
------------------------------------------

You should reset to standard VGA mode in order to properly install
this driver set.  Please see the instructions below on how to do so.  



Resetting to VGA mode
---------------------

    Your system must be in "VGA" mode prior to installation.

    To restore to VGA mode:

    1. Turn on the computer. If the computer is already on, press
       Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.

    2. When the letters OS/2 and the small white box appears in the
       upper left-hand corner
       of your screen, press Alt+F1.

    3. When the Recovery Choices screen appears,
	press V if you are installing on WARP 3.0
	press F3 if you are installing on WARP 4.0



Installing the Dynamite 128/Video PM Driver
-------------------------------------------

    When the desktop appears:

    1. Open the 'OS/2 System' folder.

    2. Open the 'Command Prompts' folder.

    3. Open a 'OS/2 Full Screen' or 'OS/2 Window' session.

    4. Insert the driver diskette into the 'A' drive.

    5. Change to the 'A' drive.

    6. Type "setup [source path:] [target drive:]"

       where "source path" is the location of the SETUP.CMD file and
       "target drive" is the driver letter of the drive that contains
       OS/2.

       Examples:
               "setup a: c:" (If OS/2 is installed on the "C" drive).

               "setup a: d:" (If OS/2 is installed on the "D" drive).


    7. The setup program will copy a few files to your hard drive,
       display
       a message and ask you to reboot your machine.

    8. Exit from the 'OS/2 Window' or 'OS/2 Full Screen' session.

    9. Remove the diskette from the 'A' drive.

   10. Close the 'Command Prompts' folder.

   11. Close the 'OS/2 System' folder.

   12. Perform a 'Shut down' of your machine.


After the reboot:

    1. Click the right mouse button on the desktop to display the 
       desktop menu.

    2. Click on 'System setup' to open the 'System Setup' folder.

    3. Double click on 'Display Driver Install' icon to begin the
       second phase of the display driver installation.  (You may have
       to scroll the folder to locate the icon.)

    4. Choose 'Primary Display' from the 'Display Driver Install'
       screen and click OK.

    5. Select 'Tseng Laboratories ET6000' from the list of supported
       adapters and click OK.

    6. At the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility screen select

          * Install Using Display Adaptor Utility Program

    7. Click OK

    8. At the 'Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility Location' screen
       backspace over the "A:\" and type:

            [drive:]\os2\svga.exe on monitor

            Where [drive:] is the drive that contains OS/2

       Examples:
           "c:\os2\svga.exe on monitor"
           (If OS/2 is installed on the "C" drive).

           "d:\os2\svga.exe on monitor"
           (If OS/2 is installed on the "D" drive).

    9. Click OK.  At this point your screen will go blank as an optimum
       hardware configuration is determined.

   10. At the 'SVGA Modes and Refresh rates supported' screen type
       "AUTO" and press ENTER.  Your screen will again go blank for up
       to 30 seconds.  

   11. At the 'Source Directory' screen, Insert the driver diskette
       into the "A" drive.

   12. Click 'Install'.

   13. At the 'Display Driver Install' screen Click OK

   14. Close the 'System Setup' folder.

   15. Remove the driver disk.

   16. Shut down and reboot your system.


Changing Screen Resolutions and Refresh Rates
---------------------------------------------

    1. Click the right mouse button on the desktop to display the 
       desktop menu.

    2. Click on 'System setup' to open the 'System Setup' folder.

    3. Double click on 'System' icon.

    4. Choose the 'Screen resolution' and 'Screen Refresh rate' you
       desire.

    5. Reboot the machine to initiate the new settings.


Regenerating the SVGADATA.PMI File
----------------------------------

    If you encounter problems during installation, you may have to
regenerate your SVGADATA.PMI file after the install is complete.
To do this, either boot to real DOS or start a DOS full-screen session.
Go to the OS2 directory of your OS/2 boot partition and type:

    "SVGA ON DOS"

The screen will go black for several seconds while the utility gathers
information about the modes support by your adapter.  After it is done,
you DOS session will reappear.  At this point, rename the file
SVGADATA.DOS to SVGADATA.PMI and reboot you machine.
