   Section Ten - IBM Model Microchannel Configuration   
      
   ImageAccel Microchannel display adapters include a VGA Terminator   
   and an IBM PS/2-XGA BOOT DISK for ImageAccel that are required   
   to get ImageAccel running without using a separate XGA or   
   multisync display.   
      
   The IBM Boot disk for ImageAccel is used ONCE, to get the   
   Model 77 to recognize and boot ImageAccel. The VGA Terminator   
   is required at BOOT TIME, to change the XGA adapter into VGA   
   mode, so ImageAccel can run OS/2 properly.   
      
   CAUTION: You must leave the VGA Terminator attached to the XGA   
   display port at BOOT TIME. If you don't, then PMShell full   
   screen prompts will paint your screen black (type ALT + HOME   
   to remedy this temporarily, changing the Full screen mode to   
   a Prompt window).   
      
      
   IBM Model 77 Setup   
   -------------------   
   NOTE: Leave the XGA card in the proprietary IBM primary video slot.   
      
   Step 1: Install the ImageAccel Display adapter into the IBM   
   PS/2 Microchannel video slot (2).   
      
   * NOTE: If you add or remove any other adapter cards to your   
   system, you have to keep the VGA Terminator   
   installed on the XGA card, and boot using the boot   
   disk to re-run the configuration program again.   
      
   Step 2: Put the diskette labeled "IBM PS/2-XGA BOOT DISK for   
   ImageAccel" into the A: drive. (Contact Cornerstone   
   Technical Support for information on obtaining this   
   diskette).   
      
   Step 3: Place the VGA Terminator (3012682-002) onto the XGA   
   display adapter port. (Contact Cornerstone Technical   
   Support for information on obtaining the VGA Terminator).   
      
   Step 4: Boot the PC with the IBM PS-2 Boot disk for ImageAccel   
   and VGA TERMINATOR installed. (Note: The Boot disk is   
   not a DOS diskette - its not readable by DOS).
