Page(s): 1 of 2
This bulletin announces the availability of Wingine-enhanced display drivers for the
Epson Progression and Progression 4 computers. These drivers replace the VGA
Utilities 1 and 2 diskettes that originally shipped with these computers.
The changes from the previous release are:
- Removed support for Windows 3.0
- Added Wingine support for AutoCAD Release 12
- Added support for the TI RAMDAC (used in the NX models) for Windows 3.1
- Added support for 1024 x 768 x 32K colors and 1280 x 1024 x 256 colors,
interlaced
These drivers can be downloaded from the Epson Bulletin Board System (BBS) that
can be reached at (310) 782-4531. They are located in two self-extracting files
(WINGINE1.EXE and WINGINE2.EXE) in file library DRIVERS. These contain VGA
Utilities 1 and 2, respectively. Once downloaded, extract the files to a high-density
diskette (1.44MB) by entering the command:
WINGINE1 -d A: or WINGINE1 -d B:
and
WINGINE2 -d A: or WINGINE2 -d B:
depending on which disk drive is being used. Then, follow the instructions in the
VGA Utilities Guide to correctly upgrade any existing drivers or install new ones. For
AutoCAD Release 12, please refer to PSB S-0156, Progression/Progression 4
AutoCAD Release 12 Display Driver Upgrade.
DESCRIPTION
WINGINE1.EXE contains the Chips and Technologies SETUP utility, RAMDAC.COM
(which determines whether the Brooktree or TI RAMDAC is installed) and a batch file
(SETUP.BAT) that calls RAMDAC, copies the correct OEMSETUP.INF file for the
installed RAMDAC and then calls the C&T SETUP program. It also contains all of
the Windows drivers. This diskette should not be write-protected, and is all that is
needed to install (or upgrade) Windows drivers.
