DOS CONTROL PANEL

KvPanel is the DOS version of the Orchid Setup Display utility. KvPanel  allows you to try all the modes available without exiting and reentering the program. Once the values have been defined, you can test the values and center the display.

Because it is a DOS-based utility, do not run KvPanel from inside other programs, such as Windows. From the DOS prompt type:

C:\CD\KELV64

then

C:\KVPANEL

KvPanel displays a list of video resolutions. The refresh rates available are selectable from the drop-down menu of each resolution. The Configure buttons allow you to display and test the selected mode.


ORCHID SETUP CONTROL PANEL

The Orchid Setup control panel is easy to use and allows you to configure your Windows 3.1x video display driver, enable power management, center the display and set your preferences. In addition, you can view the Kelvin Video64's current configuration from any menu option.
