CHAPTER 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction 1
Description The PCA-6653 is based on the CHIPS VGA flat panel/CRT controller and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a large set of extended functions and higher resolutions, and it supports simultaneous functioning. Since the PCA-6653 VGA adapter is fully compatible, you do not require any special drivers to operate in standard modes.

Driver Support The software driver provides: Microsoft Windows 3.XX MS DOS AutoCAD Release 12 Lotus 1-2-3 Lotus Symphony VESA Microsoft Word WordPerfect 132 Column Text Mode (only usable in WordPerfect and Wordstar) The PCA-6653 provides 16.7M colors with a CRT output frequency of 65 MHz. Video BIOS The standard BIOS chip supports four kinds of flat panel displays: TFT LCD: Toshiba LTM09C016 DSTN LCD: Sharp LM64183P MONO LCD: Sharp LM64C142 EL: Planar EL640.
Simultaneous Display Mode The PCA-6653 supports simultaneous display to a CRT monitor and a flat panel display. The flat panel may be TFT, mono, DSTN, or EL. If you use a DSTN LCD in this mode, the display must be under 16/ 256 colors or the CRT and flat panel screens will tremble. You must add a frame buffer with 512K RAM and update the BIOS setup. Call us for assistance.

CHAPTER 3 Software Drivers and Utilities Chapter 3 Software Drivers and Utilities 15
This chapter describes the installation and operation of the software drivers on the included Display Driver diskette. Simultaneous Display Mode The 65545 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and noninterlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported.
Software Support The drivers support the following applications using the filenames and resolutions listed: Application Windows 3.1 Filename LINEAR4.DRV LINEAR8.DRV AutoCAD R12 LINEAR15.DRV LINEAR16.DRV LINEAR24.DRV RCTURBOC.EXP Resolution 640x480 800x600 1024x768 640x480 800x600 1024x768 640x480 640x480 640x480 640x480 800x600 1024x768 640x480 800x600 1024x768 640x480 640x480 640x480 Lotus 1-2-3 2.0 and Lotus Symphony 1.0,1.1 V132X25.DRV 132x25 (Text) V132X50.DRV 132x50 (Text) VESA 1.2 VESA.

Windows Setup These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1. You may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS. Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display. Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly. Step 2: Place the Display Driver diskette in drive A. In Windows Program Manager, choose File from the Options Menu. Then from the pull-down menu, choose Run . . . . At the command line prompt, type A:\WINSETUP.
DOS Setup Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display. Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly. Then exit Windows.

For example, if you installed the 132 column by 25 line driver, you could name this driver 132X25.SET, or if you installed the 80 by 50 driver, you may want to call the file 80X50.SET. Step 7: The installation of your Lotus 1-2-3 driver is now complete.
VESA The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has created a standard for a Super VGA BIOS Extension (VBE). This defines a standard software interface to allow application programs to set and control extended video modes, such as 800x600 graphics, on video adapters from different manufacturers. The VESA driver adds this Super VGA BIOS Extension to the VGA BIOS. Any application program which supports the VESA standard driver interface can be used with this driver.
