The 24-bit color driver (eg. Windows 3.1) when operating
at 24-bit mode may (or may not) cause horizontal noise
lines when the cursor or an image is moving.  The noise
disappears when the movement stops.

This problem can be fixed by using one of the following
solutions:

A)  Use DMODE 2.82 and 16MCOLOR.COM.

B)  A new BIOS.

For users who have already had a 24-bit color card and
experienced the above mentioned noise,	the solution is
available now with DMODE 2.82 and 16MCOLOR.COM.

The 16MCOLOR.COM sets CRTC Register 32 value to 08H to
fix the bug.  Some other software (BIOS initial setup
routine) also directly program the CRTC Register 32.
Therefore, you must execute the 16MCOLOR.COM program
after you reboot your PC.

The DMODE 2.82 also includes an undocumented command
which allows you to set the CRTC Register 32 to 08H with
the following command: DMODE SCLK=36MHz.


Note:  1. When Register 32 is set to 08H, the ET4000 may
	  not support 132 column display if only 256K
	  Byte display memory is installed.  Since rarely
	  ET4000 cards are used with only 256KB memory,
	  we believe there will be little or no problem
	  caused by this change.

       2. Our new BIOS shipped on November will also fix
	  the problem.	Do not swap BIOS PROMS unless the
	  cards' clock chips use the same frequency
	  specifications.

       3. 16MCOLOR.COM is only compatible with DMODE
	  2.82.  Previous DMODE has a TSR program which
	  resets Register 32 whenever a mode setting
	  occures, therefore, makes 16MCOLOR.COM useless.
