SUMMARY
Joint Data Systems G-Host S3 Local Bus video cards require Video BIOS version 1.8 or later to be fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 3.1. The Video BIOS should be displayed as the computer is starting up or it can be determined by choosing Video in the Microsoft Diagnostics Utility (MSD.EXE) included with Windows 3.1.

To obtain a new Video BIOS, contact the computer dealer from where the computer was purchased.

MORE INFORMATION
BIOS version 1.6 has known problems that conflict with Windows 3.1 and are corrected with BIOS version 1.8. Joint Data Systems recommends you upgrade to version 1.9 for full-feature support under Windows and Windows for Workgroups 3.1.

For Video BIOS version 1.8, Joint Data System recommends the S3 display driver version 1.4. S3 display driver version 1.51 is recommended for use with Video BIOS version 1.9. The updated S3 display drivers for the G-Host S3 Local Bus video cards are available from Joint Data Systems.
