Date: 20 September 1993, for drivers v1.40

Notes relative to installing OS/2 2.1 Power 9000 video display drivers.

Assumptions:
These instructions assume that normal VGA video drivers are currently
installed.  If this is not true, potential problems may result.  Please
make sure that the VGA video drivers are installed for the primary video
adapter.

Quick-start:

The files \CONFIG.SYS and \OS2\OS2.INI should be copied to a backup directory
before installation is initiated, as they will be modified.  Also, if you 
have WinOS2 support enabled, you will also need to copy 
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI to a backup directory or diskette, as it will 
also be modified for WinOS2 seamless support.

To install the Power 9000 PM and WinOS2 seamless drivers, do the following:
1.  Insert the diskette labeled Power 9000 OS/2 Installation Diskette 1
    into a diskette drive (normally drive A:).
2.  Select an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen session from the command
    prompts folder.
3.  Select the diskette drive by typing A: or B: followed by Enter.
4.  Execute DSPINSTL.EXE by typing dspinstl followed by Enter.
5.  Click on the OK button (or key Enter) on the Help not available
    dialog box.
6.  Select the Primary display check-box, then click OK.  To abort 
    installation click on Cancel.  The secondary adapter is not supported.
7.  Select the desired resolution, refresh rate and number of colors from
    the list-box, and click on OK.  Make sure that your Power 9000 adapter
    has sufficient memory for the desired resolution, and that your monitor
    supports the resolution.
8.  Change the source directory indicating the location of the installation
    diskette (if necessary), then click on Install.
9.  Files will now be copied to the appropriate directories, and the 
    configuration files will be modified accordingly.  Insert Power 9000
    OS/2 Installation Diskette 2 if requested and click on OK.
10. When installation has been completed, select Cancel.
11. You will then see a dialog box indicating that changes have been made
    to your system configuration.  Click on OK.
12. Exit the OS/2 window or full screen command prompt by keying exit 
    followed by Enter.
13. Now shut-down the system and restart OS/2. Remember to remove the
    installation diskette if it is in a bootable diskette drive.
14. You are now ready to experience the speed of the Power 9000 under OS/2!


NOTES:

Support for the secondary video adapter is not currently available.  If you
select the secondary adapter, no files will be copied, and no configuration
files will be modified.


PROBLEM DETERMINATION:

This release support OS/2 version 2.1 or better.  It requires the 32 bit
graphics engine.  Do not attempt to install these drivers on OS/2 version 2.0.

If your system hangs after installation, make sure that the statement 
DEVICE=\OS2\POWER_9K\P9000.SYS is placed before any network device driver
statements as well as the PMDD.SYS device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file.
An easy to way to ensure this is to place the statement as the first line
of the CONFIG.SYS file.

To return the system to its the standard IBM VGA display drivers, you will
need to insert the original OS/2 2.1 Power 9000 Display Driver Diskette 1
Version 1.40.  Open an OS/2 windowed session and type A:DSPINSTL.  After
seleciting primary display you should see an option for removing the P9000
drivers.  Select this option and press OK.  When the dialog box appears
informing you of successful completion, remove the driver diskette, shut
down your system and reboot.  The system should now be running the standard
VGA display driver.  If you like, you can now delete the following files 
that were copied to the following directories:

\OS2\DLL\P90DEV32.DLL
\OS2\DLL\P90DSP32.DLL
\OS2\DLL\P90OEM32.DLL
\OS2\DLL\BVHP9000.DLL
\OS2\POWER_9K\P9000.SYS
\OS2\POWER_9K\WTK_WARN.EXE
\OS2\P9000.PMI

If DOS was enabled:

\OS2\POWER_9K\VP9000.SYS
\OS2\POWER_9K\VP9VGA.SYS

If WinOS2 was enabled:

\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\INST.EXE
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\P9000RES.DAT
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\P9000RES.INI
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\P9INIT.DLL
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\SP9K_08.DRV
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\P9000_08.DRV
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\P9000_16.DRV
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\P9000_32.DRV

You can also remove the directory:

\OS2\POWER_9K
