Release Notes
-------------
This is v1.09 of the Stealth 64 Video VRAM Install/Utilities/Drivers
disk set.


DOS Installation Notes
----------------------

We have added a new installation program called GO'95.  This still functions
the same as our old installer GO.EXE.  Run INSTALL.EXE from a DOS prompt.
You cannot run this application from inside Windows DOS Shell.  Once you
have run INSTALL.EXE the GO'95 executables will be on the hard drive (C:).
Please do not discard this diskette.  If you have a problem with your
system you may need this diskette.

Please configure your monitor using the "Monitor" option in the main window
of GO'95.  This program controls the frequencies sent to the monitor and
will allow the high resolution and high color modes to synchronize correctly
on your screen (for DOS only).

GO'95
-----
GO'95 allows selection of text modes, video emulation modes, and monitor
mode frequencies for all environments outside of Windows.  Monitor
timing information is saved and is automatically loaded on power-up or reset.

Users with monitors not conforming to the industry preset monitors
provided can select the "User Defined" option which allows selection
of frequencies, sync polarities, and screen centering for each video
resolution and color depth.  Please consult your monitor manual for
the exact capabilities of your monitor before selecting monitor
timing.  We strongly urge that selection of monitor timings in
"User Defined" be made for all resolutions and color depths.

In other Operating Systems, i.e. OS/2, WARP, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, etc.,
GO'95 will disable mouse support, diagnostics, monitor centering, and
DPMS.
  

    Known Limitations
    -----------------

    With a mouse driver installed, GO'95 causes intermittent mouse
    freezes during useage.  Press any key to restore mouse movement.

    DPMS does not support any protected mode programs. These
    include programs such as AutoCad, Microstation, and games
    such as Links 386, Doom, etc.

    You must have Windows NT installed with the Standard VGA driver
    (640x480x16) before you install the Diamond Stealth 64 Video
    VRAM NT drivers.  If you are running a different graphics mode
    please re-configure for Standard VGA.

    Confirm the source path.
    
    You need to restart Windows NT 3.5 for the changes to take place.
   
    Note that the default resolution that installed is 640x480x8 60Hz.
    
    From this point on, you can change your resolution/color depth by
    using the Display Icon in the Control Panel.  Select the
    "List All Modes" button.  This will display all resolutions and
