-------------
This is v1.05 of the Stealth 64 DRAM Install/Utilities/Drivers disk set.
AutoCAD 10/11/12 Installation Notes
-----------------------------------
To install TurboDLD, run the GO.EXE program from DOS. The GO.EXE
will install the drivers into the proper AutoCAD directories. If
you have changed your directories from default you will be
prompted for the appropriate directories. A file called S64ACAD.BAT
will be created in the directory that you have chosen as your install
directory, C:\ACAD\DRV for AutoCAD 12 and C:\TURBODLD for AutoCAD 10
and 11, by default.
To select the newly installed driver run:
ACAD -r from the C:\ACAD directory.
Then select 3 to change the video driver.
You will be prompted with a list of video drivers,
select the TurboDLD Classic driver.
* If you do not have TurboDLD Classic as a listed option then
you may not have your AutoCAD enviroment variables set properly
or you are out of environment space. Please refer to your
AutoCAD manual for troubleshooting techniques.
* Your refresh mode is set by using S64DMODE. If you have not
already done so please run the DOS program C:\S64D\UTIL\S64DMODE and
configure your monitor properly.
For features and notes about TurboDLD please refer to the file
READ.ME in the appropriate AutoCAD directory on your hard disk.
DOS Installation Notes
----------------------
Use the GO.EXE file to install DOS/CAD drivers, and Utility files.
S64DMODE should be installed for all first-time operations. This program
controls the frequencies sent to the monitor and will allow the high
resolution and high color modes to synchronize correctly on your screen
(for DOS only).
Utilities
---------
S64DMODE.EXE allows selection of text modes, video emulation modes, and
monitor mode frequencies for all environments outside of Windows. Monitor
timing information is saved to the S64DMODE.EXE file and is automatically
loaded on power-up or reset.
Users with monitors not conforming to the industry preset monitors
provided can select the CUSTOM MONITOR option which allows selection
of frequencies, sync polarities, and screen centering for each video
resolution and color depth. Please consult your monitor manual for
the exact capabilities of your monitor before selecting monitor
timing. We strongly urge that selection of monitor timings in CUSTOM
be made for all resolutions and color depths.
