----------------------------------------------------------------------
!      Since the miroHISCORE and miroHISCORE² installations are 
!      nearly identical, we are naming them both miroHISCORE²
!      in the following chapters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


II. Installation under Windows 95 (OSR 2) and Windows 98
--------------------------------------------------------

II.1 If you never had a 3Dfx Voodoo or Voodoo² board installed in
     your system, switch directly to II.2 .

      Start your miroHISCORE² installation CD via autorun or launch
      Autorun.exe from the CD before installing the hardware. First
      use the menu entry "Check driver!" to delete all old Voodoo stuff
      (drivers, inf files and registry entries) from your system, which
      would cause problems with the installation of the new miroHISCORE²
      drivers. Reboot your machine now.
      
II.2 After starting Windows 9x (with your installed miroHISCORE² board)
     the automatic hardware detection will find a new PCI multimedia
     device and shows you the 'Update driver wizard' dialog.

II.3 Insert your miroHISCORE² 3D installation CD into your CDROM
     drive and click on the button [next].

     Windows 98: Choose again [next].
                 Mark the CDROM option and go on with [next].

II.4 Windows starts now to search for drivers on the local drives of
     your system and shows a miroHISCORE² 3D driver on your CDROM.
     Select the [Finish] button.
   
II.5 You are asked to insert the disk named 'Drivers for miroHISCORE &
     miroHISCORE² 3D Accelerator'.
     Confirm with [OK].
     Windows tells you that it failed to find a neccessary file (3dfx.dll).
     Select the [Browse...] button and go into the "Win95" directory under
     the drive letter of your miroHISCORE² 3D installation CD.
     Confirm with [OK].

II.6 Windows copies all driver files to the harddisk.
     Finally you have to restart Windows.

 
III. miroHISCORE² drivers for NT 4.0 (Voodoo² runtime drivers)
--------------------------------------------------------------

III.1 Log in as a local administrator of your Windows NT system.

III.2 Insert the miroHISCORE² 3D installation CD in your CDROM drive
      and wait for the appearing CD installation window -or- directly
      launch Autorun.exe from CD.

III.3 miroHISCORE² 3D:
      Choose "Install miroHISCORE² 3D Glide driver" in order to copy
      the Voodoo2 driver files to your Windows NT system.

      miroHISCORE 3D:
      Choose "Install miroHISCORE 3D Glide driver".

      Follow the instructions of the 3Dfx installation program.     

III.4 miroHISCORE² 3D only:
      In order to install the configuration software (utilities)
      choose option 2 : "Install miroHISCORE² 3D Utilities".

      You are able to save several presets for several games with this
      software (e.g. gamma correction, refresh rate, memory clock, etc.)


IV. Important hints on the installation of the files from the 
    Patches directory which is included on the miroHISCORE² 3D CD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

    These game patches are special extensions,  which improve the 
    image quality and the graphics performance of the games.
    If there is a special handling required for installing a
    patch, you will find a readme.txt file in the apropriate 
    directory.
   
    These patches were provided by the game manufacturers. 
    For this reason we cannot offer any support, if problems arise.


V.  Known problems:
--------------------

V.1 Combining S3 boards of the 868/968 generation and 3Dfx boards
    may cause address conflicts. This problem occurs with all 
    S3 Vision 868/968 graphics boards. A patch on this CD will solve
    this problem.

V.2 Although the miroPINBOARD shows only one installed 
    miroHISCORE board in the information page under NT, SLI mode 
    is supported under NT with two miroHISCORE² boards.



VI. Simultanious use of miroHISCORE and one or two miroHISCORE² boards
----------------------------------------------------------------------

With this 2.0 drivers, you may use both hardware components at once
in your system. You have to reinstall simply both drivers (Voodoo1 & 2)
from this CD for that.
After that you are able to switch between this two boards with the
miroPINBOARD. Select the HISCORE / HISCORE² property page and select
the "change Voodoo1 and Voodoo2" option.
This provides you the 100% Voodoo1 compability..

Scanline interleaving (SLI) is not possible with a mixed system (Voodoo1
and Voodoo2), but you are able to use SLI with two Voodoo2 boards and
add another Voodoo1 board into the system.


VII.	Hardware tuning
-----------------------

You are able to chage the memoryclock of your hardware on the fly in your
miroPINBOARD with the "Change on the fly" option. If you encounter some kind
of grizzling pixes ont he display, you can try to eliminate this with the
"finetuning" option. If this will not change anything, you shoud reduce the
clock.

ATTENTION: If you choose a too high frequency, the system may crash.
