╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
There are two possibilities how to install the Windows drivers:
1) Using the SPEA V7SETUP (quick installation, update)
2) Using the Windows SETUP program (standard installation)
1) Via the SPEA V7SETUP (Quick Installation, Updating an older
SPEA BigWin Driver)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Start Windows and choose at the Program Manager:
PROGRAM-RUN
and type A:\V7SETUP.
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
2) Via the Windows SETUP Program (Standard Installation)
--------------------------------------------------------
Exit Windows and start the program SETUP from the windows directory,
choose at DISPLAY "Others", insert the new disk in the corresponding
drive and press RETURN. Now follow the instructions given by the
Windows SETUP program.
Note: Updating any existing drivers via SPEA V7SETUP the icon SPEAview
===== will not installed automatically if you kill the SPEA/V7 group.
Please refer the MicroSoft Windows documentation about information
how to integrate this program into the program manager.
Note: The BigWin driver uses VESA in some resolutions modes as well.
===== So, if VESA support is required, a small memory resident program
should be executed.
Copy from this disk the program V7MIRVBE.EXE on your harddisk and
insert the program call in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Note:
===== V7SETUP adds new line in SYSTEM.INI under title [CAD1K.DRV],
BASEADDRESS=0, required for BigWin. Only if system has more
than 32 MB RAM, SYSTEM.INI should be edited and this value
be changed to 1.

║ SPEA V7SETUP: Tips / Known Restrictions ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
1) During first installation the driver will be installed with the
lowest possible refresh rate at the chosen resolution.
If you use a high-class multi-sync monitor and you choose a
resolution 1024x768 and above, synchronisation problems may occur.
To prevent this, please choose at first the resolution
640x480. Afterwards you can change to the preferred resolution and
refresh rate with the utility V7SETUP, witch appears automatically
after starting Windows.
2) Installing graphical drivers for Windows and Virus Check Programs
Virus check programs, such as the DOS 6.0 internal one, which search
for changes at *.exe and *.com files, detect changes at the file
win.com after installing the SPEA V7 BigWin driver. This is not a
virus, because while installing the driver, driver supplements will
be saved in this file.
3) If you have a MIRAGE with BIOS 3.05 and you use RAMBIOS version
3.07 the frequenzes are not shown correctly by V7SETUP.

║ SPEA V7 BigWin Driver : Known Limitations ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
1) The SPEA V7 BigWin Driver may not be used in 80286 based
systems.
2) VDD limitation: Cannot execute any VGA graphics modes in a
windowed mode. The XGA driver supplied by Microsoft has a similiar
limitation.
3) True Color:
If you use more than 15 icons in one program group, a message will
tell you that not all symbols are converted correctly. These symbols
will be displayed in black. This is caused by a Microsoft Program
Manager limitation.
4) If you use resolutions with 16 colors and you open a DOS Box
you have problems with colors.
