- These 2 BGI drivers , EVRX16.BGI and EVRX256.BGI, support the Everex Extended
- graphics modes on the Everex EVGA (EV-673) and Viewpoint (EV-678) card.
- The driver EVRX16.BGI can be used with Everex Micro-Enhancer and Micro-Enhancer
- Deluxe. Note that in order to use the 800x600 16 color mode on the EV-657-01 and
- EV-659-01, you must perform an InitGraph call with the driver value for VGA.
- Otherwise the graphics library will assume that there are only two resolutions,
- 640x480 and 752x410. These drivers can be used with Turbo Pascal 5.0 and 5.5,
- and Turbo C 2.0.
-
- WARNING : This is purely a beta driver and some internal testing has been done, but
- some 'REAL LIFE' testing may be needed. EVEREX Systems isn't responsible
- for any losses due to this driver.
- If you find any incompatibilities or bugs in these drivers, please leave
- a message for me on the Everex Graphics BBS (415) 683-2924.

- Files included:
- EVRX16.BGI - 16 color BGI driver for Turbo Pascal 5.0 and 5.5,
- and Turbo C 2.0
- EVRX256.BGI - 256 color BGI driver for Turbo Pascal 5.0 and 5.5,

- EVRX16.BGI:
- Turbo Modes (EV-657/B/01, EV-659/A/01, and EV-673):
- 00h : 640 x 480 16 color on multi-frequency or PS/2 monitor
- 01h : 752 x 410 16 color on multi-frequency monitor
- 02h : 800 x 600 16 color on multi-frequency monitor
-
- Turbo Modes (EV-678):
- 00h : 640 x 480 16 color on multi-frequency or PS/2 monitor
- 01h : 800 x 600 16 color on multi-frequency monitor
- 02h : 1024 x 768 16 color on multi-frequency monitor (512K on EV-678)
-
- Usage:
- To use EVRX16.BGI with Turbo Pascal or Turbo C, either
- rename it to the file name EGAVGA.BGI (Make sure to keep
- a backup of the original Borland EGAVGA.BGI) or rewrite
- your code to load in the driver and register it using
- RegisterBGIDriver.
-
- EVRX256.BGI:
- Turbo Modes (EV-673):
- 00h : 640 x 350 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital)
- 01h : 640 x 400 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital)
- 02h : 512 x 480 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital)
-
- Turbo Modes (EV-678):
- 00h : 640 x 350 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital)
- 01h : 640 x 400 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital)
- 02h : 640 x 480 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital) (512K on EV-678 only)
- 03h : 800 x 600 256 color on multi-frequency monitor (64 on digital) (512K on EV-678 only)
-
- Constraints:
- 2) SetBkColor, SetPalette, and SetAllPalette are not supported
- because the EGA compatible palette is not active in 256 color
- mode. Changing the palette must be done by using SETRGBPALETTE
- or modifying the color lookup table in the Digital-to-Analog
- Converter (DAC). Get the Everex Technical Reference Manual
- for more information.
-
- Usage:
- To use EVRX256.BGI with Turbo Pascal or Turbo C, either
- rename it to the file name EGAVGA.BGI (Make sure to keep
- a backup of the original Borland EGAVGA.BGI) or rewrite
- your code to load in the driver and register it using
- RegisterBGIDriver.
