	740 SG4/SD8 driver.
        Please see to it that you have prepared the following items for
        installation:

                Win95 OSR2.1

                In order to make sure your system is running a OSR2.1, find
                the subkey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\

        NOTE: A reminder before you install the Windows NT 4.0 driver, be
              sure that your system version number is Windows NT 4.00.1381.

        If you get a new version of the driver diskette, it contains a new
        version of the BIOS file.

        1. From the diskette or "SuperO Software Pack CD", copy the A:\FLASH
           or "D:\740\FLASH" to your hard disk drive.
                        Example: Copy A:\flash\*.* C:\ or

                Enter name of ROM data file to open (default=vb.dat),
                        Example: c:\type xxxx.bat (where c represent your
                                 local drive and xxx signifies your file name)

        3. The screen will then go blank for 8 second, return back to Windows
           95 and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

        WARNING: Please be aware that when the screen goes blank, do not close
                 the computer.  This move will cause the card to malfunction.


IV. Troubleshooting

        Q. When I restart the computer after installing the driver, an error
           message is displayed on the screen indicating the driver is not
           applicable.

        A. It is of vital important that you should install all the three
           requirement for AGP Total Solution in installing an AGP card as
           stated in Section I of this readme file.



        Q. There are flicker on the following mode:
                1024x768  24 bits ---- 100Hz or above
                1280x1024 16 bits ---- 85Hz or above
                1280x1024 24 bits
                1600x1200 16 bits

        A. Please refer to your motherboard manual then check your AGP bus
           clock if the clock is adjusted to 60MHz.  This problem will only
           be resolve if the clock rate is adjusted to 66MHz.  Because
           SuperO 740 SG4/SD8 can get a better memory bandwidth when AGP clock
           is adjusted to 66MHZ.



        Q. When applying the TV Output function, I am not able to select the
           "Enabled" button even all the peripherals are properly connected.

        A. The "Enabled" button can only be selected when the resolution is in
           640x480 and 800x600.
