  PRELIMINARY STEPS
  _________________

  The following steps prepare your computer for the
  Weitek 9000/9100 device driver:

  1.  You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed in order
      to install this driver.
  2.  The OS/2 ATTRIB command is used during
      installation of the device driver.  If you
      elected not to install the OS/2 Optional System


                                           Page 5


      Utilities or you have deleted the ATTRIB command,
      use Selective Install and select Change File
      Attributes to restore the ATTRIB command before
      continuing.
  3.  If you previously installed SVGA support, return
      to VGA resolution using the procedures in
      "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" later in this
      README before you install this driver.


  INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE
  __________________________

  To install the Weitek 9000/9100 device driver from
  diskette, do the following:

  1.  Insert the Weitek 9000/9100 diskette into drive A
      (or any other diskette drive).
  2.  Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.
  3.  At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following
      command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2
      drive:

             A:SETUP A: C:

      (where A: is the diskette drive, and C: is the
      drive where OS/2 is installed.)

      Then press Enter.


                                           Page 6


  4.  When prompted to do so, remove the diskette from
      drive A, perform a shutdown, and then restart
      your computer.
  5.  Open the OS/2 System folder.
  6.  Open the System Setup folder.
  7.  Open the Display Driver Install object.

      When the Display Driver Install window appears,
      "Weitek Power 9000" or "Weitek Power 9100" should
      be the default choice.  If not, select it.  Then
      select OK.
  8.  When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility
      window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for
      Monitor Type" choice is preselected.  You can
      accept this choice or select "Install Using
      Display Adapter Utility Program" to choose a
      different refresh rate.  Then select OK.

      If you select the "Install Using Display Adapter
      Utility Program" choice, you must have a DOS
      monitor utility that came with your display
      adapter.  Contact the display adapter
      manufacturer's technical support for information
      on how to use the monitor utility under OS/2.

      NOTE:  At this point, DSPINSTL determines the
             hardware configuration by creating the
             \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file.  If the


                                           Page 7


             \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been
             created, the adapter will not be
             supported.

  9.  When the Source Directory pop-up window appears,
      insert the Weitek 9000/9100 diskette into drive
      A.  Then select Install.
  10. When the installation is complete, do the
      following:
      a.  Open the OS/2 System folder.
      b.  Open the System Setup folder.
      c.  Open the System object.
      d.  When the Settings notebook appears, select
          the Screen tab.
      e.  Select a resolution.  Then close the
          notebook.
      f.  Perform a shutdown and restart your computer.

  Note that during the installation of this driver,
  DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the
  OS2\INSTALL directory.  These files identify the OS/2
  system files that were updated and indicate whether
  the installation was successful.  The contents of
  these files might be useful if you need to report an
  installation problem to IBM.


                                           Page 8


  NOTE:  If in the future you want to upgrade or
         downgrade your display, you must perform steps
         7 through 10 listed above.


  INSTALLATION IN A CID ENVIRONMENT
  _________________________________

  NOTES:

  1.  The server must contain a directory named W9_DRVS
      on the same drive where the OS/2 diskettes
      reside.  The W9_DRVS directory must contain all
      of the files from the Weitek 9000/9100 device
      driver diskette.
  2.  OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the
      client using the CID (Configuration Installation
      Distribution) method.

  To install the Weitek 9000/9100 device driver using
  CID, use the following information to modify your LCU
  command file.

  NOTE:  The following information is meant as a guide.
         Your LCU command file might be different.

    /*****************************************************/

  Following is an explanation of the line that is
  executed in the LCU command file:

    C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPINSTL /PK:SVGA /SK:NONE /S:X:\
    /T:C: /MC:10 /res:640x480x256

       /PK:SVGA where SVGA is the primary adapter key.
       /SK:NONE where NONE is the secondary adapter key.
       /S:X:\ where X:\ is the redirected source path.
       /T:C: where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed.
       /MC:10 is the manufacturing code that distinguishes Weitek.
       /res:640x480x256 is a resolution/color depth from the
         list of "Supported Resolutions" that appears earlier in
         this README.

  NOTES:

  1.  Be sure you have the stated video memory
      required, as listed in "Supported Resolutions"
      earlier in this README.  A safe choice is
      640x480x256.  Any of the listed resolutions can
      be selected, but your display might be damaged if
      you select a resolution that your display does
      not support.


                                          Page 13


  2.  After the Weitek 9000/9100 device driver has been
      successfully installed on the client machine
      using the CID method and the client machine is
      restarted, the resolution will be as specified by
      command line argument.

                                          Page 16


          (In /T:C:, C: is the drive where OS/2 is
          installed.  In /S:A:, A: is the diskette
          drive you use to install OS/2.)

          Then press Enter.

  o   If you are installing this driver on OS/2 2.1,
      2.11, or OS/2 for Windows, and you installed from
      CD-ROM or a LAN, do the following:

      1.  Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL
          directory.  If it is, go to step 2.  If it is
          not, unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following
          command:

              C:\OS2\UNPACK E:\DISK_8\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE
