Installation of miro drivers for Windows95:
Attention: Please don't try to install the miro drivers by running the

your control panel. Further informations below.
This miro Windows 95 drivers are useable for the following miro graphic
adapters only:
miroCRYSTAL 8S
miroCRYSTAL 10SD

miroMAGIC S4/RAINBOW Win
Generally dual screen solutions (Twinface) in combination with a
miroCRYSTAL 8S, a miroCRYSTAL 16Si or other combinations
won't be supported !!!
To install the miro drivers, proceed as follows:
* If you have not done so already, start your computer and Windows95
* Open the Control Panel
* Click on Display
* Click the Settings folder
* Select Change Display Type... .The Change Display Type windows appears.
Here you can change the graphics board and the monitor type.
* To select another graphics board, click on the "Change" button.
* Click "Have Disk..." To specify the disk drive from which you install
the drivers: default is drive a:\.
Now there will be displayed the following model either
"miro S3 OCTO Graphicadapter/PCI", or
"miro S3 OCTO Graphicadapter/(VLB,ISA,EISA)".
In case both options will be displayed, please select the model which
is corresponding to your miro graphics adapter and click "apply".
The computer is restarted. After the restart the new resolutions are
available.
In case of problems please watch the following hints:
1.) Don't try to use former miro Windows 3.xx drivers for Windows 95.
In case you tried to use these drivers make sure that all former
miro Windows 3.xx drivers and entries in your SYSTEM.INI file are removed.
In the SYSTEM.INI you have to remove the complete entries in the section
[928.drv], [Twin.right] and [Twin.left]. Delete in your Win95 the follo-
wing files if available:
Del \\OEMMAGS4.*
Del \\OEMRAIN.*
Del \\OEMCR32S.*
Del \\OEMCR24S.*
Del \\OEMCR16S.*
Del \\OEMC16SI.*
Del \\OEMCR8S.*
Del \\OEMC10SD.*

Del \\TWIN*.*

Del \\MSIZE*.*
Del \\WSIZER.*
Del \\WADJUST.*
Del \\MIROLOGO.RLE
Delete the miroWINTOOL group and the includes icons
on your Windows95 desktop too !!!
2.) In case you are using a miro monitor or a common model please install
a new monitor file. This monitor.inf file is on this installation disk.
Make sure that there is no older OEM*.INF monitor file in your Win95\INF
subdirectory. This subdirectory is hidden, but you can make it visible
by entering the DIR /a command. All INF files are ASCII files and you
can read these files with every editor, so please make sure that you
don't delete needed INF files. Look into the file before you delete it !!!
If you are using the miro monitor files of the original Windows 95 CD,
please use the miro monitor file of this disk.
3.) Everytime you install new display drivers in Windows 95 a new OEM*.INF
file will be copied into your WIN95\INF subdirectory. Windows 95 doesn't
remove the old *.inf files. Make sure that only the specified OEM*.INF file
is available. This could prevent many problems!
4.) In case Windows 95 doesn't start VLB computers, you can change the base-
address for the linear memory adressing. This decimal value should be
dividable by 1048576(1024KB)
System.ini:
[Display]
LinBase=<Adress>
i.e. 67108864, 268435456
5.) Some of the older miro graphic PCI boards are not compatible to the new PCI
standard rev. 2.0. Therefore you might get problems during the startup of
your system. This is especially true for some later chipsets (e.g.
Intel Triton). These chipsets and the according Plug and Play BIOS
don't support older boards conforming to PCI rev. 1.x.
6) At the time the miro OCTO S3 Graphicadapters were developed,
the VESA standard V.1.0 was actual. So these graphicadapters
are compatible only to this older version of this standard.
Newer VESA standards and included video modes won't be supported !!!
