 Quick Start Information 

- If you want to use your mouse while installing the program then load
  your mouse driver by typing MOUSE (or sometimes LMOUSE).

- Switch to the floppy drive that contains Maximum Overdrive! (A: or
  B:) and type: MAX

- Click on the INSTALL button and follow the on-screen instructions.

- After the installation is done, remove the Maximum Overdrive!
  diskette and re-boot your computer.

- Insert the Maximum Overdrive! diskette again and type MAXBEST.  Click
  on the MORE INFO button and read what it says and follow the
  instructions.

For more detailed information you can choose HELP from the MAX main
menu.

That's it, your done installing Maximum Overdrive!  We hope that you
enjoy the added speed that you now have!



 An Important Note About Cache 

Disable Hard Drive Cache!

Cache may affect the performance testing that Maximum Overdrive! does to
determine the best settings for your hard drive(s).

If your system uses a hard drive cache program such as SmartDrive(TM),
SpeedCache(TM), Super PC-Kwik(R), etc. disable it before running the
Maximum Overdrive! installation program (MAX) or MAXBEST.


 Late Breaking News 

- Using VGA Mono
  VGA monochrome shows up best if you type "MODE CO80" before running MAX.

- The QEMM Optimize Program
  If you are using QEMM Optimize by Quarterdeck Office Systems then please
  note the following:  After the completion of step 1 Optimize re-boots
  your computer.  Before doing so it sends commands to the hard drive to
  flush any cache programs that may be in use.  When it does this with
  Maximum Overdrive! installed the computer will sometimes hang for a
  while (up to 2 minutes) instead of it rebooting instantly.  Please be
  patient and wait for it instead of forcing a reboot with CTRL-ALT-DEL.
  Optimize will continue normally from that point on and is completely
  compatible with Maximum Overdrive! in all other respects.
  One final note: If you have Optimize version 7.02 or greator you can
  use the /NOFLUSH switch to alleviate this problem.
