GETVIDEO.EXE
Purpose
This support command captures the video BIOS settings from the EEPROM. The
video BIOS uses these settings to support various flat panel displays.
Syntax
GETVIDEO
Parameters
None
Example
GETVIDEO
Press n or enter at the prompt to save the settings to gx1vga.dat.
Remarks
The current settings for the video BIOS are written to a file. This file can then be
used by pgmvideo to update the video BIOS settings. This is a useful command to
copy the video BIOS from one CPU card to another or to confirm the current video
BIOS settings.
I17HNDLR.EXE
Purpose
This support command is an alternate way to use the INT 17h functions when the
extended BIOS area is disabled (i.e., the jumper at the “X” position is removed at
W1). Also, use this support command to reprogram the extended BIOS area with
another BIOS.
Syntax
I17HNDLR
Remarks
This command is used if the extended BIOS area (D8000–DFFFF) is not used. The
I17HNDLR allows the system to use the INT 17h functions.
