TSENG ET3000 DRIVER INSTALLATION
FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.0
The instructions which follow are applicable to users of Microsoft Windows 3.0
and Tseng ET3000 VGA based adapters such as Samsung SVGA/16. Notec that, to use
800x600 and 1024x768 modes, an ANALOG color display capable of these high resolu-
tions is required.
The "Tseng ET3000 - Windows 3.0 Driver Disk" contains 256 color and high resolu-
tion drivers, as well as a file called SETUP.INF that replaces the files of the
same name on the Microsoft Windows 3.0 Setup "DISK 1" diskette. Follow the ins-
tructions listed below carefully to install the drivers.
Instructions:
1. Make a DISKCOPY of the Setup "Disk 1" diskette.
Example (for systems with a single floppy and hard drive):
C:>DISKCOPY A: A:
The system will use drive A: for both the original and the copy as the source
and target diskettes are inserted alternately for the copy.
2. After the copy is made, return the original to its jacket and store safely.
3. Copy the file SETUP.INF from the Tseng ET3000 - Windows 3.0 Driver Disk to the
newly-created copy of the Setup "Disk 1" diskette. Example (for systems with
a single floppy and hard drive):
C:>DISKCOPY A:SETUP.INF B:
The system will use drive A: as drive B: also. After the copy is finished,
type A: [ENTER].
4. Type SETUP [ENTER] to begin installation of Windows 3.0.
5. Review the configuration list when it is shown. If you wish to change Display
type, move the highlighted bar to the "Display:" line and press [ENTER] to
select from the available list.
6. The program will ask you to insert the Tseng ET3000 - Windows 3.0 Driver Disk
in order to install the drivers as required. After this is done, the install-
ation program will continue normally.
After you complete the above steps you can begin using Windows 3.0.
Note : If you wish to change the display type after completing the installation,
click on the Windows Setup icon found in the Main desktop window.
INSTRUCTIONS - FIRST TIME WINDOWS 3.0 INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions contained in the WIN30DRV.DOC file to install the Tseng
ET3000 display drivers.
INSTRUCTIONS - WINDOWS ET3000 ALREADY INSTALLED
To use the Tseng ET3000 Windows 3.0 drivers you need to copy the following files
into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
VGA364.DRV
VGA374.DRV
VGA348.DRV
VGAMONOX.GR2
VGACOLRX.GR2
VDDTLI3.386
SETUP.INF
If you have ALREADY installed Windows 3.0, you can copy the above list of files
into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. After you copy the files, change the
display configuration from within Windows itself to one of the extended drivers.
See the Windows documentation for further information.
When you run the Windows Setuo to change to a different driver Windows may prompt
you for some of the Windows Installation diskettes. The drivers use display fonts
which are contained on the standard Windows 3.0 distribution diskettes.
The enclosed drivers are generic and should work with most ET3000 based boards.
The drivers have various display memory requirements and of course your display
monitor must be able to support the resolution you select.
The drivers support the following:
Resolution Mode Minimun display Driver name
(HEX) memory required
640x480 (2 colors) 11h 256KB VGAMONO.DRV **
640x480 (16 colors) 12h 256KB VGA.DRV **
800x600 (16 colors) 29h 256KB VGA364.DRV
1024x768 (16 colors) 37h 512KB VGA374.DRV
640x480 (256 colors) 2Eh 512KB VGA348.DRV
** uses Windows 3.0 supplied VGA driver
*** IMPORTANT ***
It is important that the drivers be installed properly, replacement grabbers (GR2
extension) and Virtual-Display-Device handler (386 extension) are included to
properly support the extension feature set of the ET3000 VGA chip.
