V7-MERCURY P-64
SPEA Graphiti HiLite
SPEA Graphiti FIRE
2) Installation
===============
(Copy all created files onto a empty, formatted disk, in the following
named "BigMicro Disk").
1) Put the disk with the "SPEA BigMicro" software in drive a:
and type
A:
INSTALL
Follow the installations hints.
2) Change to the \USTATION directory.
3) Run the USCONFIG program to select the device driver
for your SPEA board.
Select a second adapter if needed.
Note: In the configuration menu there are offered:
"SPEA S3 PROT. MODE DRIVER" - 2D driver for V7 boards
"SPEA i860 DRIVER WITH 3D FUNCTIONS"- 3D driver for FIRE
"SPEA i860 PROT. MODE DRIVER " - 2D driver for FIRE
"SPEA TMS PROT. MODE DRIVER" - 2D driver for HiLite
4) Select 'Exit' and 'Save'.
5) Configuration of the MicroStation device driver via the
environment variable MSPEAPM
You will find the file "MSPEAPM.BAT" in your \SPEA\GDC directory.
In the simplest case you have only to start this file and
the environment variable will be set.
Note: - In a DoubleScreen solution (2 * S3) MSPEAPM can be set as
follows:"set mspeapm=-c11 -v0 -b -lc10 -lv0"
In a DoubleScreen solution (FIRE & S3) MSPEAPM can be set as
follows: "set mspeapm=-c0 -v0 -b -lc10 -lv0"
- You will be asked whether you want to disable the virtual
graphics page. If you disable the 2nd graphics page you can
choose resolutions up to 256 colors. If you enable the 2nd
graphics page, all possible resolutions are displayed with
16 colors only.
If you don't need a standard configuration you must change
the file:
SET MSPEAPM=-Ccardr -Vx [-LCcardl -LVx]
-Ccardr defines the graphics board type for the single screen or
the graphics board type for the right screen
-Ccardl defines the graphic board for the left screen (only for
dual screen configuration)
cardl, cardr can be:
0: Graphiti main board (FIRE)
1: Graphiti secondary board (FIRE)
10: SPEA V7-board with activated VGA part
(MERCURY- MIRAGE serie with ISA-,VL- oder PCI-Bus)
11: SPEA V7-board with deactivated VGA part
-Vx video mode for main/left screen
-LVx video mode for right screen
The parameter "x" for SPEA Graphiti you can read in your manual or
after starting the programs 860MODE/HIMODE.
If you work with S3-chip based SPEA V7-boards you can start
VMODE in your \SPEA\GDC directory you get a list of the available
modes.
Note: The driver supports olny 8 or 32 bit color dept.
Examples:
SET MSPEAPM=-C10 -V11
SPEA V7 MERCURY with video mode no. 11
SET MSPEAPM=-C0 -V0 -LC10 -LV0
z.B. Fire for the right screen, MERCURY for the left
screen, each with the highest resolution.
SET MSPEAPM=-C11 -V0 -LC10 -LV0
MERCURY P-64 (PCI/VL) for the left screen,
MERCURY P-64 (PCI/VL) with inaktiv VGA part for right screen,
each with the highest resolution.
3) Possible board combinations
==============================
For the Doublescreen configuration with 2 SPEA V7-cards you have
the following possibilities:
2 x MERCURY P-64 PCI
2 x MERCURY P-64 VL
For the Doublescreen configuration with 1 SPEA V7-card and the
FIRE you have the following possibilities:
1. Card: SPEA V7-Karte (s.o.)
2. Card: FIRE
Note: For the Doublescreen configuration with SPEA V7-Karten
SPEA will offer a 'SPEA DoubleScreen' package in the future.

and the necessary software for this combination under
MicroStation/DOS.
Before using the 'SPEA DoubleScreen' package you have to
install the Dual Screen Disk.
SPEA offers also the '3D WORLD' package, which contains
