color
mode,
or
vice versa, the program will
remind
you to
check
if
you have
the

the
ATI
Graphics Solution. It is
important that you follow
the
directions carefully; otherwise,
damage
could
result to
your
monitor
that is
not
covered by

warranty.
If
you
are switching to a 132-column
mode
and are planning
to
run
an application program in this
mode
you
must
make sure that
the
application program itself
supports
132-column mode.
Mer

0.3.3 Special Note For Using the Monochrome
Graphics Mode
If
you
plan
to
use your
AT!
Graphics Solution in
the
Monochrome
Graphics mode, a utility program
must
be
run
to
allocate 1
or
2
pages
of
memory for graphics. This utility,
which
must
be
used in
order
to perform graphics, is included with
the
mode
switching
software. It loads automatically.
Possible keywords are:
MT
-This
disables graphics making
the
video function identical
to
the
IBM
Monochrome Display Adapter.
MGI-Allocates
memory for single page graphics. This allows
the
presence
or
use
of
another
video adapter
such
as
the
IBM
Color/
Graphics Adapter.
MG2-This
command allocates 2 pages
of
memory
to
graphics.
This is
the
option you
must
use
to
run
Lotus and most
monochrome
graphics programs. If you
run
Lotus you must also configure
the
Lotus video driver for
the
Hercules board.
0.3.4 Configuring Your Application Software
This section is designed
to
help you to configure
your
application
software
(such
as Lotus 1-2-
3)
for
the
video
mode
you
are using.
Emulation
Mode
If
your
software has a Plantronics driver
(such
as Lotus Symphony),
install that driver
when
operating
under
the
emulation mode.
Otherwise, install
the
Color/Graphics driver.
