1. General Information
----------------------
There are two ways to install this update: installation from harddisk
(requires default directory structure) and installation using floppies.


2. Preparing the Installation
-----------------------------
All drivers and components of this FIRE GL x000 update are provided in a 
compressed form as a self-extracting package.
All files will be decompressed by starting or running this *.EXE package. 

When decompressing this package a directory structure with all installation 
files will be created on your harddisk in the default directory 
C:\DIAMOND\UPDATE\ or in the directory you entered during the decompressing 
process. 
In the root of this directory you find the following programs amongst others:
- Program START.EXE for installation from harddisk (see 3.) and 
- Program MAKEDISK.EXE to create installation disks (see 4.).

Before the new drives may be installed, the old drivers and components have to 
be removed: 

- In your DIAMOND folder start the program "DIAMOND Display Components Setup" 
  and select "Removing Installed Drivers". All drivers and components will 
  now be removed, the system will be reconfigured to Standard VGA mode.

- Now please restart your system.

3. Installation from Harddisk
-----------------------------
- Change to the directory where the driver update has been decompressed (see 2.)
	C:\DIAMOND\UPDATE\ or the directory you entered.

- Run START.EXE and follow the installation routine.

- Please also note the separate README files for the installed drivers.

4. Creating Installation Disks
------------------------------
If you need installation disks, to install this update onto another system, 
please proceed as follows: 

- Change to the directory where the driver update has been decompressed (see 2.)
	C:\DIAMOND\UPDATE\ or the directory you entered.

- Run MAKEDISK.EXE and follow the installation routine to create disks.

- To install from these disks run INSTALL.EXE from disk "Install".

- Please also note the separate README files for the installed drivers.

- Note: Also when installing from floppy the old drivers have to be removed 
  from the responding system as described in 2.
