Connecting the TView Gold Card to an
IBM Compatible Portable Computer

This section describes the steps to connect your TView Gold Card to

a television or VCR. The following sections describe how to connect

to Portable IBM PC's.

Notes: 1.  Before performing the steps to connect the TView

Gold Card to a portable computer, you must turn on the

external video connector. This is accomplished by using

a particular key sequence on the keyboard (for example,

FN + F11) or through the BIOS setup program. Refer to

your computer's owner's manual to determine how the

external video connector is turned on.

Perform the following steps to connect and install the TView

Gold Card to a Portable PC:

1.

 

 Slide the TView Gold card into an available PC card slot.
Windows will recognize the TView Gold Card as a new

hardware device and start the Hardware install wizard.

Note: Using the top PC card slot will enable you to connect an

additional PC card device in the lower slot.

2.

 

Insert the installer disk into the floppy drive.  When the Update

Device Driver Wizard appears, click next.

Note: If the Device Driver Wizard does not locate the installer

diskette, click on the "Back" button and try again.
