***Welcome to Version 1.0 of the MMCD***
--------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this readme.txt file is to update you on the latest
additions or enhancements to the MMCD. On this version we would like
to bring your attention to the following subjects ;
Section 1 Windows 95 & Windows NT installation drivers
Section 2 Printing Product manuals
Section 3 FUN.EXE - 99 Games
Section 4 Languages
Section 5 ESS938 3D Driver Installation
Section 6 DOS Driver Installation
Section 7 Windows NT Version 4.0 Installation drivers
Section 8 Trident 9685VGA Dos Utility Driver Install
Section 9 OPTi931 DOS Only driver
---------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 1 - WINDOWS 95 & WINDOWS NT INSTALLATION DRIVERS
---------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the MMCD product gallery and product pages you will see
buttons for the various installation drivers for DOS/Windows 3.1x/
Windows 95 and Windows NT. Installation drivers for DOS and
Windows 3.1x programs are either "Install.exe" or "Setup.exe"
programs. These are self-running applications which will appear on
your screen when the relevant button is clicked with the mouse.
However, Windows 95 & Windows NT installation drivers are Information
files or ".inf" files. The Windows program itself acts as the
application and searches for these information files. To give
Windows 95 & Windows NT the location of these information files
we have added these locations to the manual which accompanies this
MMCD package. Alternatively you can look to the Plug 'n' Play page or
go to the product page and click on either "Windows 95 Driver" or
"Windows NT Driver", whereby a text screen will appear showing you
the exact location.
------------------------------------
SECTION 2 - PRINTING PRODUCT MANUALS
-------------------------------------
On a later version of the MMCD we will add a function button called
"PRINT MANUAL". However, before this we are working on the process
of adding different languages of manual. In the meantime you can
either read the manual directly from the MMCD, or should you require
a hard copy then you have three alternatives.
1 - First using Microsoft Word, open up & print the relevant product
manual (the file name uses the product chipset number) from the
directory called "Manual" (i.e. D:\manual\eng\1868v4.doc =
English ESS1868 manual). The manuals contained on this version of
the MMCD are as follows........
("D" here represents the letter of your CD-ROM drive - change
as necessary)
Directory & file name Description
--------------------- ----------------
- ENGLISH LANGUAGE MANUALS -
D:\manual\eng\1868cs.doc ESS1868 Cost Saver Sound Card
D:\manual\eng\1868v4.doc ESS1868/938 Sound Card
D:\manual\eng\931v3.doc OPTi 931 Sound Card
D:\manual\eng\931cs.doc OPTi 931 Cost Saver Sound Card
D:\manual\eng\9685vga.doc MegaVision 3D Trident9685 VGA Card
D:\manual\eng\ikit.doc Internet Phone Kit
D:\manual\eng\launch.doc Willowpond Media Launcher
D:\manual\eng\mrack.doc Willowpond Media Rack
D:\manual\eng\presto.doc Willowpond Presto Arranger
D:\manual\eng\waveed.doc Willowpond Wave Shaper
D:\manual\eng\winchime.doc Willowpond Win Chime
- GERMAN LANGUAGE MANUALS -
D:\manual\ger\1868ger.doc ESS1868/938 Sound Card
D:\manual\ger\mr_deu.doc Willowpond Media Rack
D:\manual\ger\pa_deu.doc Willowpond Presto Arranger
D:\manual\ger\ws_deu.doc Willowpond Wave Shaper
(Note : For the Willowpond utilities there are only English versions
of the manuals for Media Launcher & Win Chime applications)
2 - Secondly, you can use Microsoft Explorer (or possibly your own
existing Web Browser)to view and print the manuals.These manuals
have been converted to HTML format for this CD-ROM so you can read
& print them in their entire form with screen dumps and pictures.
For example, install and run Microsoft Explorer. Then go to FILE
and then choose OPEN. Type the directory of your CD-ROM drive and
then ENTER. You will then see a screen with all the contents of
the MMCD on. Here you can open and print the following manuals
from these locations.....(please note that if the manual continues
over separate HTML files it's OK because at the end of the first
file you will be presented with options to go to "NEXT PAGE" or
"PREVIOUS PAGE" to view and print the manual in its entire form).

as necessary)

------------------------------
SECTION 3 - FUN.EXE - 99 GAMES
------------------------------
We suggest that when you activate FUN.EXE that you first turn off the
MUSIC by clicking on the SOUND button and then MUSIC until a cross
appears which MUTES the sound. This is because most of the games
included in FUN.EXE also include sound tracks.
The FUN.EXE file is an MSDOS based application which brings up a DOS
based screen allowing you to access the 99 Games. Because the setup
of this application may vary according to your particular system
configuration you may experience some problems accessing the MSDOS
screen...If you cannot access the list of games then please exit to
DOS and at your CD-ROM drive prompt type FUN. This will activate
the FUN.EXE application and allow you to run the games in MSDOS mode.
(TIPS FOR WINDOWS ’95 USER’s)
Ideally when you click the Fun.exe button the MS.DOS window with a
list of games will appear within the MMCD window. From here you can
run the games and then exit back to the MMCD/Windows environment when
you’ve finished playing. However, if when you click the Fun.exe
button, your computer exits Windows ’95 completely and goes to DOS,
then this is not very user-friendly - as the MMCD program will also
have been closed. But there is a solution. Close the MMCD and run
MY COMPUTER. Open the directory associated with your CD-ROM drive
and look for the application file named FUN (it will be a white box
with a blue border). Click once on this file and then go to File..
and then choose Properties... Then choose Program and then Advanced...
Mark/check the box called "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary".
Then click on OK to finish. If, after this, you are still having
problems - then once you’ve finished with MMCD, exit to DOS and go
to your CD-ROM drive prompt and type FUN
(Note : These games are freeware or shareware - As such, we do not
guarantee the quality or compatibility of any game - We also reserve
the right to with-hold any particular game due to it not being suitable
for children, or it containing material which may be deemed disturbing
to some audiences)
---------------------
SECTION 4 - LANGUAGES
---------------------
Our aim for the MMCD is to translate everything in to as many languages
as possible. This obviously takes time & money, so in the meantime
we've started with a few pages transated in German and Russian,
and we hope you appreciate the efforts we've made so far. We further
hope YOUR particular native language appears later on following versions
of MMCD.
-----------------------------------------
SECTION 5 - ESS938 3D DRIVER INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------
The ESS938 chipset supplies the 3D Spatializer technology to the
ESS1868/ESS938 Sound Card. This chipset includes some software to add
more control over the depth of the 3D effect as well as Treble and Bass
control. On the MMCD there are buttons for the ESS938 3D Effect
Software Control. There are separate buttons for Windows 3.1 and
Windows '95. Clicking on these buttons will activate a program which
will create directories and shortcuts on your system to add the
application files "tonectrl.exe" (Win3.1) or "ctrl938.exe" (win95)to
your desktop or taskbar.
For the DOS application please exit to MSDOS mode and follow these
instructions...
ES938 DOS Driver Installation
(only for the 3D model # 2306 - ES1868+ES938)
1. Create a directory "938DOS" on your hard disk.
2. Insert the MMCD in to your CD-ROM drive. Locate the file
es938ctl.exe in the directory app\product\2\ess938\938dos\
on the MMCD and copy it to the hard disk directory "938DOS".
DOS ES938 Control
1. Boot up the hard disk and log into the "938DOS" directory.
2. Type "ES938CTL / parameter" at the DOS prompt. The
parameter is the optional functions of the ES938
3D-Sound Effect control. The syntax of the complete command is
described as below :
ES1868 + ES938CTL </S:[0-3]></B:[0-7]></T:[0-7]>
/S - Set Spatializer Level 0-Off, 1-Low, 2-Medium, 3-High
/B - Set Bass Level (0 thru 7)
/T - Set Treble Level (0 thru 7)
e.g. "ES1868 + ES938CTL /S:3" means enable the highest
3D-Sound Effect.
-----------------------------------
SECTION 6 - DOS DRIVER INSTALLATION
------------------------------------
For DOS only user's please refer to the file called "locate.txt" on
this CD-ROM for location of the DOS only drivers & utilities.
------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - WINDOWS NT V4.0 INSTALLATION DRIVERS
------------------------------------------------
At the time of production of this version of the MMCD the majority
of installation drivers for Windows NT 4.0 were still being
developed or evaluated (apart from Trident 9685 VGA which is
included). We suggest that if you require Windows NT 4.0 drivers
then you contact your local sales representative or check out the
web sites listed on the manual included with this package for
release updates.
------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - TRIDENT 9685VGA DOS UTILITIES INSTALLATION
------------------------------------------------------
Because the Trident ProVidia 9685 (MegaVision 3D) DOS Utilities
are installed with a .bat file, please exit the MMCD and go to DOS
prompt. From here go the the following directory on your CD...
D:\app\product\7\9685vga\dosutl\
("D" represents your CD-ROM drive letter - change as necessary)
Then type 'readme' and the DOS utility installation program
will begin.
------------------------------------
SECTION 9 - OPTi 931 DOS ONLY DRIVER
------------------------------------
If you're using DOS only then we've managed to write a DOS only based
driver for the OPTi931 & OPTi Cost Saver sound cards. Please refer to
the file called "locate.txt" for driver location.
That's it for now. Enjoy MMCD and the products which accompany it..
Thank you
