1.      Overview

	This disk contains the drivers and tools for the Windows
	multi-screen dispatcher MULTIman and the ELSA WINNER Windows
	drivers required for this operating mode.

	These drivers allow the Windows desktop to be spread over two
	or more monitors on systems equipped with two or more ELSA
	graphics boards, providing the advantage of a considerably
	larger workspace.

	Please note that only special combinations of ELSA WINNER
	graphic boards are allowed.
	The MULTIman driver supports the following combinations of ELSA
	graphics boards:

	first board:
		WINNER 1000ISA [1|2] MB

	second board:
		WINNER 2000PRO | PRO/X [PCI] [2|4|8] MB

	or

	first board:
		WINNER 2000PRO | PRO/X [VL,PCI] [2,4,8] MB

	all other boards:
		WINNER 2000PRO | PRO/X [VL|PCI] [2|4|8] MB

	or

	first board:
		WINNER 3000-M  | 3000-L

	all other boards:
		WINNER 3000-M  | 3000-L

	Combinations with VL and PCI boards are not supported.
        You can use only boards with the same VIDEO RAM.
        With the WINNER 1000ISA only WINNER 2000PRO|PRO/X-PCI
        boards can be used. The PRO and the PRO/X boards should not
        be used	together, too.

	No additional VGA-graphics boards can be operated in the
	computer.

	Up to four boards are supported. With four boards there is the
	possibilty to choose a quadratic (2x2) monitor placement.

	The board with the smallest memory equipment determines the
	highest vertical or horizontal resolution.

3.      Installation

	Requirements:

	It is required that Windows runs on each of the boards (in
	one-screen mode) with the ELSA drivers version 3.31 or newer.
	The ELSA WINNER Windows drivers must already be installed before
	you install MULTIman.

	About 3 Mbytes of disk space must be available on the harddisk
	on which Windows is installed.

	The automatic installation and the following instructions
	assume that your secondary and all following boards are
	WINNER 2000PROs or WINNER 2000PRO/Xs respectivly that only
	3000-M boards or only 3000-L boards are installed.

	Installation Procedure from WINNERware CD:

	First start Windows in your normal configuration. This should
	be on the first board.

	Start the program "SETUP" from the WIN31 directory of your board.
        (e.g.: WINNER\2000PROX\WIN31\SETUP.EXE)
	First the program will ask you to install newer Windows drivers.
	You can do this. After that the SETUP program opens a new
	dialog box where you can choose to install MULTIman or
	the ELSA Utilities. Please choose the "MULTIman" installation
	now. The program will ask you to insert the ELSA disk
	"MULTIman". Now MULTIman will be installed on your harddisk.
	But it won't be configured.

	MULTIman configuration:

	Terminate the SETUP program and start the WINman utility from
	group "ELSAware". Please choose the resolution of the first
	Windows screen.
	Then you can click the button "Change MULTIman". In the
	following dialog box you can choose the number of your WINNER
	screens. After that please entry the virtual resolution for the
	first screen and the physical and virtual resolution for the
	other screens. At the end you have to entry a refresh rate for
	each screen.

	ATTENTION:      Please pay attention to the specifications of
                        your monitors, to avoid damages. Look into
                        your monitors documentations.

	Confirm the dialog box with "OK" and save the graphics mode.
	Please shut down all DOS-applcations, because a restart of
	Windows is necessary now.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.      Switching to "One-screen" Windows

	The installation of MULTIman modifies your Windows display
	configuration in the SYSTEM.INI file. To switch back to the
	normal one-screen configuration, proceed as follows:

	Start the WINman utility from the group ELSAware again and
	choose the button "Change MULTIman". There you can switch to
	"One-screen" Windows. Save this grafikmode and after the next
	restart you are able to work with the "One-screen" mode again.
