----------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains preliminary instructions for installing the 
Kelvin 64 OS/2 2.1 drivers you have just downloaded.  You have 
already completed the first step, by unpacking the KOS221.EXE 
file and reading this.  These instructions assume you have 
downloaded the drivers from the Orchid BBS, or from CompuServe.
If you got the files another way, some instructions may be
unnecessary.
  
When you unpack KOS221.EXE you should have the following files:

CHOOSING AN INSTALLATION METHOD
-------------------------------
There are 2 methods for installing the drivers.  Method 1 is to 
create a special directory on your hard drive to install the 
drivers from.  Method 2 is to make a floppy installation disk.  
There is no singular advantage to either one.  You may take up
extra space on your hard drive by using the hard drive installation,
but then you won't have to go looking for the floppy disk if you
decide to change resolutions later.


PREPARING FOR METHOD 1, HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------
1.  Open a DOS or OS/2 command prompt session, windowed or full
    screen. 

2.  Move to the root directory of your hard drive (if you are not 
    already there).    (example)  CD \
 
3.  Use the "make directory" command (MD) to create a new directory
    on your hard drive called  DISP_1
    (example)   MD DISP_1  

4.  Use the "xcopy" command to transfer all of the Kelvin OS/2 
    driver files to the new directory.  All of the files that you 
    unpacked from the BBS file KOS221.EXE (listed above) should
    be copied over in order for the install procedure to work 
    correctly.

5.  Now you're ready to proceed to the file KELVIN.TXT for specific
    instructions for floppy disk driver installation.  Please be
    sure to read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section at the top of 
    KELVIN.TXT.


PREPARING FOR METHOD 2, FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------
1.  Open a DOS or OS/2 command prompt session, windowed or full
    screen. 

2.  Insert a blank 1.44K floppy in one of your floppy disk
    drives.
 
3.  Using the "label" command set the floppy's volume label to DISP 1
    (example)   LABEL A: DISP 1   

    (substitute the appropriate drive letter for your floppy drive.)
 
4.  Use the "xcopy" command to transfer all of the Kelvin OS/2 
    driver files to the new floppy disk.  All of the files that you 
    unpacked from the BBS file KOS221.EXE (listed above) should
    be copied over in order for the install procedure to work correctly.
    Please see your OS/2 manual if you need help with the xcopy 
    command.

5.  Now you're ready to proceed to the file KELVIN.TXT for specific
    instructions for hard disk driver installation.  Please be
    sure to read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section at the top of 
    KELVIN.TXT.
