     Installation Instructions
     S3 OS/2 Driver version 2.5x (For OS/2 2.1, 2.11, and 3.0 for Windows)



     Installation Considerations

     1.  The installation process assumes that the user knows the
         maximum vertical refresh rate as well as the maximum
         resolution of the monitor.

     2.  When installing the S3 driver over a non-S3 driver
         (e.g., SVGA), the standard IBM VGA driver must be
         installed first.  This is not required if an S3 driver
         is already installed.

     3.  The driver diskettes must be labeled "S3 DRV1"(disk 2) and
         "S3 DRV2" (disk 3).  If it is not labeled installation will fail.

     4.  The S3 driver will not install unless an S3 chip-based
         card is installed in the machine at the time of driver
         installation.


     Installation Instructions


     1.  Make sure you have all open data files saved before
         continuing the S3 driver installation.

     2.  Make sure Win-OS/2 session and all Seamless Windows
         applications are closed. (Seamless applications are
         windows applications that run on top of the PM Desktop.)

     3.  Open an OS/2 command prompt (windowed or full screen).

     4.  Insert driver diskette into the floppy drive.

     5.  Change to the floppy drive (A: or B:) into which you have
         inserted driver disk #1.  Verify that the diskette
         is labeled "S3 DRV1" (do the same for disk #2).  If it is not
         labeled then type "label S3 DRV1" or "label S3 DRV2".

     6.  Type S3INST A: C: and press "Enter".  ("A" is the floppy
         drive; "C" is the drive OS/2 is installed).

         Note: You may see an error message stating could not locate files.
         Please ignore this message.

     7.  When prompted, insert Disk #2.  It must be label "S3 DRV2".

     8.  When prompted, exit the OS/2 command prompt, remove floppy
         disk from drive, and shutdown and reboot system.

         modified by the OEM.

         THE SCREEN WILL TEMPORARILY FLASH AND GO BLACK.  PLEASE
         WAIT FOR THE SOURCE DIRECTORY DIALOG TO APPEAR.
