mclk093b.zip 05/04/97 (unofficial release)
In this release (v0.93) ...
*Ok, I'm a bit short on time - I apologize for not documenting all the
*changes, minor and major, that I've made over the past few revisions.
*
*0.93b does not include any additional chipset support. My primary goal
* was the patching of ET-6000 MCLK code to work with more vendors'
* adapters. 093A did not work with all ET-6000 boards.
*
*
* COMING SOON - MATROX MYSTIQUE SUPPORT
*
The following chipsets should be recognized and supported...
Cirrus Logic GD-5420/2/4/6/8/9, GD-5430/4/6, GD-5440, GD-5446
S3 864/866/868 with S3-SDAC RAMDAC, Trio32/Trio64/Trio64V+
S3 Virge, S3 Virge/VX, S3 Virge DX/GX (MCLK's timing-report may be
wrong)
Trident 9440/96XX
Tseng Labs ET-6000
The following chipsets should be recognized, but are NOT supported
S3 911/924/928, S3 Trio64UV+, some of the Trident chipsets
The following chipsets work with (but cannot be detected by) MCLK
Cirrus Logic GD-7543 (programmable as GD-542x, use "/F" switch)
S3 Trio64V2 ( programmable as Trio64V+, use "/F" switch )
MCLK re-reprogrammability support for
Cirrus GD-542x/543x/544x ( GD-5434 NOT supported, due to BIOS)
Cirrus GD-7543 (must use "/F" switch)
*(does not work)Cirrus GD-5462, GD-5464
S3 Trio32/Trio64/Trio64V+
S3 Trio64V2 (programmable as Trio64V+, use "/F" switch)
S3 Virge, VirgeVX (untested VirgeDX, VirgeGX)
S3 SDAC (86C716 RAMDAC -- found on some S3-864/866/868 boards)
Trident 9440/96xx
* Tseng Labs ET-6000
Revision history
--------------------------------------
0.93b 05/04/97... modified Tseng ET-6000 code
0.93a 03/21/97... added Tseng ET-6000, Cirrus Logic GD-546X code
... added pci-detect routine (required for GD-546X, ET6000)
... pci-detected : 9440/96xx, VirgeDX/GX, ET6000, GD5462/64
... (MCLK's new code will prefix the reported chipset type
with the letters "PCI", eg. "PCI Virge (325)")
0.92 12/30/96... some cosmetic change, no new code
... fixed S3 Virge and Virge/VX timing-mode report
... (wouldn't report 1-cycle EDO timing properly)
... added S3 Aurora64V+ and S3 Trio64UV+ detection
0.91 07/31/96... MCLK programmability for Trident 9440/96xx chipsets
... thanks to Finn Thogerson's VGADOC4B and an
... anonymous techie at Trident Microsystems
0.90 07/28/96... cosmetic changes to S3 code (improved Trio64V+ detection)
... cosmetic changes to MCLK code (eliminated redundant text
... that was present during multiple-command execution )
0.89 06/21/96... added Cirrus Logic GD-5446 detection.
0.88 05/10/96... added S3 Virge and Virge/VX detection,
... MCLK programmability for the S3-Virge (not Virge/VX)
0.87 03/12/96... fixed the S3-SDAC code (again), so it no longer causes
... lockups with non-SDAC S3 cards
0.86 12/22/95... Corrupt screen fixed for Trident cards
... Trident MCLK routine not yet functional
... Fixed S3-SDAC detection routine
0.85 12/11/95... Included Trident 9440/96xx detection, (MCLK doesn't work)
... added user-option to override auto-detection ( "/F" )
... source file changes (replaced sprintf with ostrstream)
... (this alone attributes to the +10k size increase)
... W32p code has returned, but only accesible with "/F"
0.84 10/21/95... added CPU-write and MEM-write 2/3MCLK control for S3Trio
... CPU-write and MEM-write apply only if MCLK < 57MHz
... fixed S3 init code to unlock extended SEQ registers
0.83 10/13/95... notes about the Cirrus Logic GD-5434 BIOS
+If you have an S3-86x/Trio/96x, MCLK should display the installed
video memory type (EDO/burst/FPM RAM)
+Newer S3 chips (Trio/868/968) have a common ID byte + 2nd IDbyte...
+proper Trio64V+ chipset detection
0.82 06/30/95... still need to beta-test a lot of the code
+MCLK.EXE now accepts multiple commands per execution, no need to
run MCLK 5 times to set all those parameters!
0.81 06/22/95... still need to beta-test a lot of the code
+Added S3 Vision964/968 ( I realized most settings are same as S3-864 )
+Added MCLK programmability for the S3 SDAC (86C716 RAMDAC)
(program should autodetect S3 SDAC)
Fixed bug where 5th choice was never recognized
Fixed a few bugs with Cirrus and S3 code
( Choices for "2items" sometimes didn't scan both parameters)
( Cirrus GD-543x -- MCLK reprogamming is now done through BIOS)
( S3 -- fixed register-unlock...before some functions
couldn't overwrite protected registers ! )
-Removed ET4000/W32p from chips.lib/chips.prj
"moved" MCLK choice, so that it's always choice #0 (SDAC/Trio/Cirrus)
0.80 06/16/95
First public release
Support for Cirrus Logic GD542x/543x, S3 80x/86x/Trio
MCLK reprogrammability for S3Trio, Cirrus GD-542x/3x
