Appendix E: Drivers and Utilities
E.1 Introduction
This appendix describes the operation and installation of the software
drivers and utility programs supplied on the software driver disks that
are shipped with your Basic VGA adapter (product code VGA006). The
purpose of the enclosed software drivers is to take advantage of the
extended features of the Basic VGA board. These capabilities include:
• 16-bit data path to video memory and hardware registers
• 800 x 600 resolution in graphics mode with 16 colors
• 132 column text in 16 colors
If you intend to use your VGA adapter in standard VGA modes only,
you don’t need to install any of these drivers. Because the Basic VGA
is 100% compatible with the IBM standard, it doesn’t require any
special drivers to operate in standard VGA modes. Your software
drivers and utilities support the following software applications and
environments and appear in this appendix as follows.
Also refer to the README.TXT file for information on installing
drivers for these other popular applications: Lotus 1-2-3, Ventura,
GEM, and WordPerfect 5.1. An extended VGA Modes chart is also
provided. You can inspect the file by bringing it into your word
processor/editor by typing the command: TYPE README.TXT at the
A: or B: drive, depending on where you’ve placed the Boca diskette.
