SUMMARY

  VGA Wizard/Deluxe 5.0    (ISA board) VGA Wizard              (ISA board) VGA Wizard/3270         (ISA board) VGA Enhancer Z          (MCA board) VGA Eagle               (MCA board)

MORE INFORMATION
The Ahead Systems user manuals refer you to the DRIVER.DOC file included on the utility disk for installing the appropriate driver. The procedure involves expanding your driver from your &quot;zipped&quot; (compressed) format on the utility disk to a blank formatted disk that will be a working install disk. It is important to also copy the OEMSETUP.INF file to the working install disk.

Once the working install disk has been created, it will contain the following video drivers for appropriate resolutions:

  Drivers      Resolution  Colors ---     --  --

If during the installation procedure of the video driver you receive a request for a .GRB file, then the OEMSETUP.INF was probably not copied to the working installation disk.
