                      8514/A AI EMULATION

 
  ============================
  DIRECTORY: \RIXAI
  This File: \RIXAI\README.TXT
  ============================


  This directory contains emulation drivers for 8514/A AI.
  This driver can be used with software applications that
  run on an 8514/A graphics adapter.


  Overview
  --------
  The instructions that follow explain how to install the 
  appropriate 8514/A emulation driver for your needs. In this 
  directory are the following files:

    RIXAI4.EXE
    RIXAI8.EXE
    STAN0715.FNT
    STAN0814.FNT
    STAN1220.FNT
    README.TXT (this file)

  Two emulators are provided. Choose either emulator depending 
  on your video memory configuration and number of colors 
  desired. The following table illustrates the resolutions 
  available for each display driver: 
                                 
    Resolution  Colors   Mode (hex)     Driver
    ----------  ------   ----------     ------
     640x480     16         25          RIXAI4
    1024x768     16         37          RIXAI4
     640x480    256         2E          RIXAI8
    1024x768    256         38          RIXAI8


  NOTE: Hercules Dynamite has 1MB memory installed and can run 
  all display resolutions listed above.




  Installation
  ------------
   1) Create a subdirectory on the hard disk called RIXAI or 
      another name of your choosing.

   2) Copy the contents of the \RIXAI directory of the Hercules
      Dynamite Supplemental Drivers Diskette to that newly-
      created subdirectory.

      Decide which version of the emulator is needed based on the 
      number of colors you wish and proceed.

   4) Type "RIXAIx" [Enter] at the DOS prompt, where "x" is 
      either 4 or 8.

   5) You can now run your application software under 8514/A 
      emulation.

  Remember to load the appropriate emulation driver before running
  application software that requires 8514/A. You might want to 
  create a simple batch file that loads the emulation driver and 
  your software automatically to simplify the process.

    EXAMPLE: (acadai.bat)

              RIXAI8
              ACAD

  You may need to reconfigure some software to run under an 
  8514/A driver. Check the user manuals of your applications 
  to determine if such a driver is supported.
