                          SETUP 


System Setup lets you turn the sound on or off; set 
date/time accurately; modify your CMOS system setup; 
select between two system monitors or turn color on or 
off.  Please note that the Date/Time change and CMOS 
Edit features are not available for XT type systems. 


DATE / TIME 
   
   From this selection, you may set the date and time 
   used by the CMOS Clock/Calendar.  Press F2 to select 
   Time, F3 to select Date.  The Right and Left Arrow 
   keys are used to select the field (hour, minute, 
   second for time; month, day, year for date).  Type in 
   the correct values and press the Enter key to change 
   the values.  If you wish to leave the values 
   unchanged, type Esc instead of Enter when in one of 
   the fields.  After you have changed the date and time 
   to correct values, press Esc to return to the menu. 


CMOS EDIT 
   
   CMOS Edit permits you to change the information 
   stored that is used to  determine your hardware 
   configuration when the computer is booted.  A menu 
   of selections is presented. 

   DATE/TIME 
      This selection is the same as Date/Time from the 
      Setup menu. 

   HARD DISK (C or D): 
      These two selections allow you to specify what 
      type of disk(s) are attached to your computer.  
      Each refers to a physical hard disk.  If you only 
      have one actual disk drive that is partitioned 
      into more than one logical drive, use the setup 
      only for hard drive C.  If you are using a hard 
      disk driver, such as SpeedStor or DMDrvr, the 
      actual disk configuration may be determined from 
      the driver at boot time rather than from the 
      table.  In that event, see the documentation from 
      the hard disk manufacturer to determine which 
      drive type you should use.  If you use DMDrvr, it 
      will set or specify the drive type and translate.  
      Only select one of the drives listed if it matches 
      your physical disk exactly for cyls (cylinders), 
      heads, and secs (sectors/track). 
   
   FLOPPY DISK (A or B): 
      This permits you to specify which floppy disk 
      drives are attached to your computer.  The choices 
      are 5-1/4" floppy disk drives, 360K or 1.2M, and 
      3-1/2" floppy disk drives, 720K, 1.44m or 2.88m. 
   
   BASE MEMORY 
      After selecting this item, type in the amount of 
      base memory (up to 640K) your computer has.  If 
      your computer is an 80286 or 80386 and you have 
      more than 640K, specify the remainder as Extended 
      memory. E.g. if you have 1 megabyte of memory 
      (1024K), specify 640K as base memory and 384K as 
      extended memory. 
   
   EXTENDED MEMORY 
      If your computer is an 80286 or 80386, specify the 
      amount of memory in excess of 640K your computer 
      has.  See base memory above for an example.  
      QAPlus can accommodate memory settings up to 
      16 mByte. 
   
   VIDEO SELECTION 
      This will determine the default display 
      characteristics when your computer is booted.  As 
      appropriate, select Monochrome (MDA or MGA 
      adapter), Color 80 or Color 40 (CGA), or EGA/VGA. 
   
   ERROR HALT 
      This determines the action taken by your computer 
      when it discovers an error during booting.  The 
      normal selection is Halt on All Errors, which will 
      cause a message to be displayed and request an 
      action from you (normally press F1 to continue) 
      during the boot process if any error is detected. 
   
   DONE, EXIT & REBOOT 
      After you have completed editing the CMOS setup, 
      select this menu item and you will be presented 
      with a choice of Quit or Update.  If you do not 
      wish to put your new changes in effect, choose 
      Quit.  If you do wish to update the CMOS setup, 
      press Update.  Your computer will then reboot to 
      place the CMOS changes into effect. 


SOUND CHANGE 
   
   Select Sound On (beeps on error) or Sound Off. 


COLOR CHANGE 
   
   Select Color On or Color Off (Monochrome). 


MONITOR CHANGE 
   
   If you have more than one monitor attached, you may 
   select either one from this menu.  If you have only 
   one monitor,  you will receive a message to that 
   effect as no selection is possible. 


FILES EDITOR 
   
   This file editor enables you to modify configuration 
   files such as your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, 
   or the WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files within Windows.  
   This may be necessary because some programs modify 
   some or all of these files during their installation 
   process and these modifications may cause other 
   programs not to run correctly.
