Go to disk drive that has Cadkey or Datacad. Don't worry, it will figure out which is present. 2. Place the driver install disk in drive A:. 3. Type "A:INSTALL" . 4. Run CONFIG program when prompted, selecting this driver. Manual installation (Cadkey) 1. Go to disk drive that has Cadkey. 2. Place the driver install disk in drive A:. 3. Change to the "\CADKEY" directory. 4. Copy "A:\CK_AGX.EXE" to the current directory. 5. Rename the file "GRDEV.DAT" to "GRDEV.BAK". 6. Enter the following command: "COPY GRDEV.BAK+A:\GRDEV.DAT GRDEV.DAT" 7. Run CONFIG program, making the following selections: 7.a Select "Set graphics options". 7.b Select "Select graphics device" option. 7.c Select "XTEC AGX". 7.d Select the appropriate resolution option, depending upon the monitor you have. 7.e Select the rest of the graphics options, depending upon personal preference. 7.f Exit, saving the new configuration. Manual installation (DataCAD) 1. Go to disk drive that has Datacad. 2. Place the driver install disk in drive A:. 3. Change to the "\MTEC\DRV" directory. 4. Copy "A:\CK_AGX.EXE" to the current directory. 5. Rename the file "DRIVERS.GD2" to "DRIVERS2.BAK". 6. Enter the following command: "COPY GRAPHICS2.BAK+A:\DRIVERS.GD2 GRAPHICS.GD2" 7. Change to the "\MTEC" directory. 8. Run CONFIG program, selecting the "XTEC AGX" driver. Driver Un-Install (Cadkey) 1. Change to the "\CADKEY" directory. 2. Enter the following command. "COPY GRDEV.BAK GRDEV.DAT" 3. Delete the file "CK_911.EXE" 4. Run the Config program, selecting a new device driver. Driver Un-Install (DataCAD) 1. Change to the "\MTEC\DRV" directory. 2. Enter the following commands: "COPY DRIVERS2.BAK DRIVERS.GD2" "COPY DRIVERS4.BAK DRIVERS.GD4" 3. Delete the file "CK_AGX.EXE". 4. Change to the "\MTEC" directory. 5. Run the CONFIG program, selecting a new video driver. D R I V E R U S E ------------------- The driver is a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) driver that must be invoked before Cadkey (or Datacad) will run. The driver will accept certain command line options that will change the behaviour of the driver. These options will allow you to: remove a previous copy of the driver from memory, or to install the driver at a different interupt. To remove a previous copy of the driver, use the '-r' option. This driver will install itself on interupt 60h by default. To install it at some other interupt, use the '-f##' option. Where '##' is replaced by a number between 60 and 67. Examples: 'ck_agx' will install the driver at interupt 60h 'ck_agx -f62' will install the driver at interupt 62h 'ck_agx -r' will remove the last installation of the driver. T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G ----------------------------- Driver won't install in memory. Couldn't find an AGX based board Install graphics card, and re-run device driver. No interupt vector may be open. The driver scans all the interupt vectors between 60h and 67h before installing itself. It all of these appear to be in use, the driver will not install. Try forcing the driver to each vector, until one is found that won't hang your machine. P E R F O R M A N C E T I P S ------------------------------- High loading To conserve DOS memory, this driver may be loaded into high memory. This can be accomplished by using a 386 memory manager such as QEMM or 386max. QEMM Example: "c:\qemm\loadhi c:\cadkey\ck_agx" 386MAX Example: "c:\386max\386load envfree prog=c:\cadkey\ck_agx" Unloading high loaded drivers QEMM Example: "c:\qemm\loadhi /nope c:\cadkey\ck_agx -r" 386MAX Example: "c:\386max\386load quiet prog=c:\cadkey\ck_agx -r"
