  3.0  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.  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.


  4.0  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).
      Note: This diskette should have a volume label
      of "WP9X00 1". To verify, use "Label A:".
  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.

  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,
      select Primary Display Driver and then select OK.
  8.  When the Display Driver Select window appears,
      select "Weitek Power 9000 (IBM BBS)" or
      "Weitek Power 9100 (IBM BBS)"
      to install the BBS video driver.
  9.  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 the 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.

  10. When the Source Directory pop-up window appears,
      insert the Weitek 9000/9100 diskette into drive
      A.  Then select Install.
  11. 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.


  5.0 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.

    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.
  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.


  6.0  FUNCTIONAL RESTRICTIONS
  ____________________________

  o   After Dark** for Windows** images that move from
      left to right do not perform properly at
      640x480x16M resolution.
  o   To avoid a general protection fault while loading
      Ventura Publisher** for Windows, be sure it is in
      one of the 256-color resolutions.
  o   To avoid a trap in Lotus** 1-2-3** for OS/2, do
      not attempt to run the program at 16.7 million
      colors.
  o   WordPerfect** Versions 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows
      produce a general protection fault when the
