1. Installation Instructions

	- Insert the Driver Distribution disk into drive A:
	- Using the Windows Explorer, Run SETUP.EXE.

	  install the TCI Card in your system and reboot.
	- When Windows 95 detect the new VGA Device, you must supply the
	  VGA Driver to complete the installation.

3. Limitations

     All TCI cards:
	- All changes to the VGA display resolution require rebooting of Windows 95.
	- Look-Up Table changes will not work properly in 160 x 120 resolution.

     TCI-SE:
	- No limitation.

     TCI-ACQUISITION:
	- The MJPEG module may not work on some computers.

     TCI-VGA:
	- The card didn't work in "Single Monitor" with release 4.00.950B of Windows 95.
	- Problem may occur with the DEC VGA Drivers if you are using a TCI-VGA
	  card in "Single Monitor" with Neptune PCI Chipset computers or some others
	  computer.

     TCI-VGA ULTRA:
	- The card didn't work in "Passthrough or Dual Monitor" with release
	  4.00.950B of Windows 95.
	- System can freeze with TCi-MJPEG module.

      MJPEG and DDV Module:
	- Cannot be used with Digital or RGB Camera.
	- Work only with NTSC or PAL input.


4. Uninstallation Instructions

	- Click the unInstallShield Icon in the "TCI Driver for Windows 95" Program
	  Group;
	- In the [386Enh] Section in System.Ini File, remove the following line:
		Device=.......\odxmsg.vxd;
		Device=.......\odxmem.vxd;
		Device=.......\tcivxd.vxd;


5. What's new

Version 3.03
	New Features:
		a) The compression module now support 60 fields per second (30 frames per second).
		b) Event can be generated after an end of compression or decompression.
		c) Security check of the buffer size before the transfert of a compress buffer from 
		   the kernel fifo to the application buffer.
		d) A 10 bit normal lut for the digital can be reload after FBTYPE has been change.
		e) A new event has been define. (EVENTMODE_START_OF_GRAB).
		f) Support for RGB module rev A4 (the reference voltage of range an offset has 
		   been readjust).

	Fixes:
		a) Modification to support the dual pentium II motherboard.
		b) A Lut can now be reload after initialisation time when a call to setcam is done.
		c) The rgb interrupt is not field reversed when extrig is enable.
		d) A transfer security check is execute in the kernel while compressing with CDMZ module. 
		   (See important note below).

	Important Notes: 
		If you are using the CDMZ compression module, you need to know that a little modification was implemented 
		in the Kernel.  This is merely a security check to make sure that the copy (memcpy) of the kernel buffer to 
		the buffer memory of the application is not bigger than expected.  Because of this modification a little 
		change will have to be perform on your application.
		In the compression thread of your application you should have one variable of type JPEGDATA and one of 
		type JPEGSTATUS.  The security check is perform only if you transfer into memory.  Between the JPEGStatus 
		call and the JPEGData call you will have to set the value of the datalen member of the JPEGDATA varible 
		to the datalen member of the JPEGSTATUS variable.  If you don't want the security check to be perform 
		than you can set the datalen member of your JPEGDATA variable to 0.  If an error is detected in the 
		kernel than the transfer will not be execute and JPEGData will return -1 or 0xffffffff.

Version 3.01
	New Features:
		a) Change default Range/Offset values for the RGB-SE rev A2.

Version 3.00
	New Features:
		a)  Support for AGP Vga Card as Primary Vga.
		b)  New Upgrade Option in installation program.
		c)  Multi-Board support.
		d)  Add 72Hz and 75Hz Refresh Rate(640x480 and 800x600) and 70Hz Refresh Rate(1024x768)
		    for TCI-VGA ULTRA or ULTRA II in Passthrough Mode.
		e)  Program Folder was changed to "Coreco TCI Driver".
		f)  Add Boards Location(Bus and Slot) in Configuration Program.
		g) Add support for the GX chipset (Pentium Pro motherboard).
		
	Fixes:
		a)  Correction for 8 bit monochrome lookup table with Digital module
		    or DIGITAL-SE.
		b)  Minor modification to Configuration Program (Frame Buffer Tab).
		c)  Monochrome 16 bit Host Frame Buffer memory calculation.
		d)  Host Frame Buffer memory calculation. (After update to this version
		    you must run the configuration program and save the new configuration).
		e)  Installation problem with OEM Version of Windows 95.
		f)  Removed modification to Refresh Rate when using TCI-VGA ULTRA II
		    or TCI-VGA ULTRA Rev C in Passthrough Mode with Display set
		    to 1024x768 and secondary set in True Color.
		g)  Modification to correctly support Kodak 1.6 10 bit Megaplus
		    Single Channel 10 bits Camera.
		h)  Modification to RGB Acquisition.
		i)  Modification to Configuration Program( Option/Info Tab).
		j)  Modification in the reading process of the pic16c84 eeprom
		k)  When there is many frames inside a single buffer, two or more lines
		    of frames can exist.  The line changing process has been change in order
		    to fixe a position in memory problem.

	Limitation:
		a)  ULTRA II cannot be used in Dual Overlay Mode with an AGP Vga Card.
		b)  System can freeze with TCI-VGA ULTRA or ULTRA II (Dual Monitor or
		    Passthrough) with LX Chipset (Pentium II).
		c)  System can freeze if the Primary VGA Card has an S3 Vga Chip with
		    LX Chipset (Pentium II).
		d)  High color (15 bits) and True color (32 bits) Overlay are not supported
		    in Dual Overlay Mode with 640x484 30Hz NTSC Output.
		e)  Red color cannot be drawn in true color overlay due to an hardware limitation.
		    Use 0xFF0001 or 0xFF0100 instead of 0xFF0000 to bypass limitation.

	Known bug
		a) Some value can't be use with the parameter Horizontal Start in the Sequential Grab Setup dialog box.
		   This parameter should not be Dword aligned (with some value the computer may freeze).
