      From: ohland@charter.net              Two versions of @80ec.ADF exist. The significant difference is the       presence of a Z-Buffer Item in ver 0.02, and what seems to be disabling       the Z-Buffer in ver 1.00 under "Fixed Resources"              "Matrox MGA Video Adapter (V0.02)"       "Matrox MGA Video Adapter (V1.00)"              AdapterId 80ECh "Matrox MGA Video Adapter (V0.02)"              NumBytes 2              NOTE: No "Fixed Resources" for ver 0.02              AdapterId 80ECh "Matrox MGA Video Adapter (V1.00)"              NumBytes 2              FixedResources        pos[1]=XX0XXXXXb              NOTE: This masks the Zbuffer enable bit to "Disabled". Also, the       "Zbuffer" item is removed from ver 1.00              Enable/Disable Adapter        " Adapter Enabled " pos[0]=XXXXXXX1b        Adapter Disabled pos[0]=XXXXXXX0b              NOTE: Same for 0.02 and 1.00 (duh!)              Help Enabled (normal use). Disabled if you are not using the adapter and       enabling it causes a conflict with another device.              Memory Mapping        " Map2 C8000 " pos[1]=XXXXX010b mem 0c8000h-0cbfffh        Map3 CC000 pos[1]=XXXXX011b mem 0cc000h-0cffffh        Map4 D0000 pos[1]=XXXXX100b mem 0d0000h-0d3fffh        Map5 D4000 pos[1]=XXXXX101b mem 0d4000h-0d7fffh        Map6 D8000 pos[1]=XXXXX110b mem 0d8000h-0dbfffh        Map7 DC000 pos[1]=XXXXX111b mem 0dc000h-0dffffh        Map1 AC000 pos[1]=XXXXX000b              Help There are 7 16K windows where you can map the MGA.       Note: Use Map1 only if the on-board VGA is enabled.              NOTE: ver 1.00 removes Map1 (AC000), only 6 16k windows (duh!)              MGA on-board VGA        " VGA Enabled " pos[1]=XXXX0XXXb mem 0c0000h-0c7fffh        VGA Disabled pos[1]=XXXX1XXXb              Help Select 'VGA Enabled' if you want a single screen solution.       This enables the VGA bios at C0000h (on the MGA adapter).              NOTE: Same for 0.02 and 1.00              Composite SYNC        " CSYNC Disabled " pos[1]=XXX0XXXXb        CSYNC Enabled pos[1]=XXX1XXXXb              Help Select 'CSYNC Enabled' if you are using a composite sync monitor.              NOTE: Same for 0.02 and 1.00              Zbuffer        " Zbuffer Absent " pos[1]=XX0XXXXXb        Zbuffer Present pos[1]=XX1XXXXXb              Help 'Zbuffer Present' if your MGA has it's ZIP memory installed       on the sockets placed on the lower left area of the adapter. Default is       'Zbuffer Absent'.              NOTE: 1.00 removes the "Zbuffer" item -AND- adds a "Fixed Resources"       line to mask the Zbuffer enable bit to "Disable"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
