Section Ten - IBM Model Microchannel Configuration
ImageAccel Microchannel display adapters include a VGA Terminator
and an IBM PS/2-XGA BOOT DISK for ImageAccel that are required
to get ImageAccel running without using a separate XGA or
multisync display.
The IBM Boot disk for ImageAccel is used ONCE, to get the
Model 77 to recognize and boot ImageAccel. The VGA Terminator
is required at BOOT TIME, to change the XGA adapter into VGA
mode, so ImageAccel can run OS/2 properly.
CAUTION: You must leave the VGA Terminator attached to the XGA
display port at BOOT TIME. If you don't, then PMShell full
screen prompts will paint your screen black (type ALT + HOME
to remedy this temporarily, changing the Full screen mode to
a Prompt window).
IBM Model 77 Setup
-------------------
NOTE: Leave the XGA card in the proprietary IBM primary video slot.
Step 1: Install the ImageAccel Display adapter into the IBM
PS/2 Microchannel video slot (2).
* NOTE: If you add or remove any other adapter cards to your
system, you have to keep the VGA Terminator
installed on the XGA card, and boot using the boot
disk to re-run the configuration program again.
Step 2: Put the diskette labeled "IBM PS/2-XGA BOOT DISK for
ImageAccel" into the A: drive. (Contact Cornerstone
Technical Support for information on obtaining this
diskette).
Step 3: Place the VGA Terminator (3012682-002) onto the XGA
display adapter port. (Contact Cornerstone Technical
Support for information on obtaining the VGA Terminator).
Step 4: Boot the PC with the IBM PS-2 Boot disk for ImageAccel
and VGA TERMINATOR installed. (Note: The Boot disk is
not a DOS diskette - its not readable by DOS).
