                 Orchid Technology Kelvin Series 
                      Driver Release v1.21
             ---------------------------------------

The file you have downloaded, !KEL.EXE contains the complete 
files from the Kelvin Install/Driver disk v1.21.  This readme 
file contains instructions for making a Kelvin driver disk, so 
you can install the drivers.  You have already completed the 
first step, by unpacking the !KEL.EXE file and reading this.  


When you unpack !KEL.EXE you should have the following files:

Using your Kelvin Drivers
-----------------------------

1.  Copy all files (listed above) to a blank high density floppy
    disk.

2.  Log onto your floppy drive and run the KINSTALL.EXE program          
    install the driver files to your hard drive.  You should run 
    KINSTALL.EXE from DOS, not from Windows.

The KINSTALL.EXE program is menu driven, and fairly self 
explanatory.  The KINSTALL menu helps you install drivers for a 
variety of different applications.  If you have questions during 
any part of the installation process, press the F1 key for 
context sensitive help, or see your Kelvin manual for more 
information.



Changes in this Release
-----------------------
This release should fix printing problems from Windows with 
Hewlett Packard Desk Jet printers, and various model Epson 
printers.  The fix has not been confirmed on Canon Bubble Jet 
printers.

This release fixes a problem with button faces in Lotus Organizer 
for Windows.



Known Shortcomings in this Release
----------------------------------

1. All Kelvin models (except ISA as noted below) currently only 
   offer 43.5Hz interlaced for the 1280x1024x16 color resolution.
   The 256 color option (available on 2MB boards) does support 
   60Hz non-interlaced.

2. The Windows "HELP" file for Kelvin 64-ISA control Panel 
   mentions "FONT Cache" and "800x600x16M color mode".  These 
   options are currently not available/supported.

3. The Kelvin 64-ISA only offers 43.5Hz interlaced for the 
   1280x1024 16 and 256 color resolutions.  

4. The Kelvin 64-ISA currently does not offer 800x600x16.7M color 
   mode (ETA unknown).  



Troubleshooting
---------------
The most common question the Orchid Technical Support department 
gets regarding installation of Windows drivers is from people who 
have installed the drivers using KINSTALL, yet when they go into 
the Windows Control Panel the Kelvin driver icon doesn't show up.  
This problem is almost exclusively caused by memory managers 
loaded in your config.sys file.  If you're using QEMM or EMM386 
(or a similar type of memory manager),  you need to exclude the 
Kelvin's RAM and ROM memory area so your memory manager doesn't 
try to use that area.  The syntax for EMM386 and QEMM is to add 
the statement  X=A000-C7FF  to the EMM or QEMM setup line in your 
config.sys file.  If you are using QEMM's "Stealth" feature (ST:M 
or ST:F), you also need to add the statement XST=C000 to your 
line in config.sys.  Then reboot, and look for the icon in 
Windows.  If you use QEMM, it may be necessary to re-run the 
Optimize program after adding the Kelvin exclusions.
