           DESCRIPTION
           USER PRODUCTIVITY
           ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND SCREEN FLICKER:  Today's widespread move to
           applications based on graphical user interfaces and higher screen
           resolutions places greater demands on the ergonomic design of visual
           subsystems.  High resolution graphics modes and white screen
           backgrounds can promote more noticeable screen flicker, a condition
           that may affect user productivity.  Flicker, however, can be reduced
           by increasing the screen refresh rate--the number of times per second
           that the screen image is redrawn.  Flicker can also be reduced by
           non-interlaced scanning--or drawing the whole screen image in one
           pass.  Reducing screen flicker can improve user productivity.
                  The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports higher refresh
           rates up to 75Hz for use with appropriate monitors.  Also, the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A now supports non-interlaced scanning in 1024 x 768
           mode.  Higher refresh rates and non-interlaced scanning combine to
           enhance ergonomic benefits to the customer in the form of enhanced
           usability and potential productivity gains.
           PERFORMANCE:  The IBM PS/2 XGA Display Adapter/A set a new standard
           for high performance video subsystems, providing the high-performance
           graphics and high screen content demanded by graphical user
           interfaces in Operating System/2 (R) (OS/2 (R)) Presentation Manager
           (R), Microsoft Windows, AIX (R) and other environments.  Optimized
           for windowing and high resolution performance, XGA features:
           o   Faster VGA
           o   Dual-port video memory (VRAM)
           o   Bus mastering
           o   Drawing acceleration (coprocessor)
           o   Hardware cursor (sprite)
           o   Application device drivers.
                  The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A further enhances the performance
           benefits of several of the key features.  Performance of the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A advanced function modes is over twice the
           performance at the application level, due to faster VRAMs, memory
           controller redesign, improved busmastering, more efficient
           coprocessor polling, and significant tuning of the device drivers.
           Also, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides full coprocessor support for
           direct color mode, allowing customers the benefit of 640 x 480
           resolution with 65,536 colors at a performance level comparable to
           XGA 640 x 480 with 256 colors.

              Corporation.
           CLARITY AND READABILITY:  The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
           provides improved 132 column text support.  While the adapter still
           supports the 8-pixel character resolutions of XGA Display Adapter/A,
           it also provide a 9-pixel character resolutions of 1188 x 200, 1188 x
           350, and 1188 x 400.  This will further improve the clarity and
           readability of the text.
           GROWTH ENABLEMENT
           COLOR ENHANCEMENTS:  The announcement of XGA Display Adapter/A
           enabled customers to take advantage of an increasing number of
           applications with graphical user interfaces, higher screen content,
           and more colors.  XGA Display Adapter/A was upgradeable to 640 x 480
           with 65,536 colors and 1024 x 768 with 256 colors by means of an
           extra-charge memory feature, the PS/2 Video Memory Expansion Option.
           Displaying up to 65,536 colors at once (16-bit color mode) can yield
           a high-color, lifelike display of scanned or captured color images.
           The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides the same capabilities with 1MB
           of VRAM on the standard adapter for no additional charge.  And 16-bit
           color mode is now supported by OS/2 and Windows device drivers.
                  The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also features 8-bit
           digital-to-analog converters (DACs), versus the 6-bit DACs used by
           XGA Display Adapter.  With 8-bit DACs, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
           now supports a palette of 16.7 million possible color combinations of
           which 256 can be displayed at any one time.  (the XGA Display Adapter
           allows 256 of a possible 262,144 colors.)  Similarly, the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A provides 256 possible shades of grey, compared with
           XGA Display Adapter's 64 shades.
           ERGONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS -- STANDARDS:  With the
           XGA-2 Display Adapter/A, customers have a growth path to current and
           new applications that use enhanced-color modes.  The XGA-2 Display
           Adapter/A and the new 95XX family of monitors are designed to meet
           stringent ergonomic and environmental requirements of emerging
           international standards, such as the International Standards
           Organization (ISO).  The new adapter card and monitors provide
           customers the means of meeting governmental requirements where
           applicable, as well as deriving the benefits of front-of-screen
           usability features such as...
           o   Stable screen image
           o   ISO conforming fonts
           o   ISO conforming software support
           o   Quality system design.
                  The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A can also be used with non-IBM
           monitors conforming with Video Electronics Standards Association
           (VESA) specifications for...
           o   VGA (640 x 480) mode at 72Hz non-interlaced
           o   SVGA (800 x 600) mode at 72Hz non-interlaced
           o   XGA (1024 x 768) mode at 70Hz non-interlaced.
                  To enable customers to take advantage of the XGA-2 enhanced
           features, new versions of video device drivers are provided,
           including IBM OS/2 1.3 and 2.0, IBM AIX PS/2 1.3, IBM DOS, Microsoft

           INVESTMENT PROTECTION
           As an extension to the XGA architecture, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
           provides all the function and support provided by the existing XGA
           Display Adapter/A for monitor products.  In addition, the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A supports other industry resolutions, such as, the
           VESA standard of 800 x 600 with 64K colors.  Customers, therefore,
           are assured of continued use of existing 85XX monitors and
           applications as well as benefit from the enhanced features of the
           XGA-2 Display Adapter/A and new 95XX monitors.  Refer to the
           Specified Operating Environment section for complete information on
           monitor support.
                  All applications that were supported on the XGA Display
           Adapter/A run unchanged on XGA-2 Display Adapter/A (assuming the
           applications followed the XGA technical Reference Guidelines and the
           customer is using an 85XX monitor).  This includes applications
           written to the application program interface (API) of DOS, OS/2 PM,
           Microsoft Windows, and AutoCAD.  A variety of XGA-compatible
           applications provided by vendors also support the XGA-2 Display
           Adapter/A.  Refer to the Specified Operating Environment section for
           more information on application support.
                  Significant performance improvements have been made to the
           device drivers provided for the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A.  These
           drivers have been designed to maintain downward compatibility with
           the XGA Display Adapter/A.  This will allow existing customers to
           enjoy some of the performance improvements provided for the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A.
           SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
           The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A has been designed to reduced the
           complexity and therefore cost of systems management.
                  The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A has a programmable PEL clock
           generator, and as such it does not have any fixed resolutions or
           modes.  The resolutions available are depend on the display attached
           rather than a function of the adapter card.  The XGA-2 Display
           Adapter/A is also easier to configure.  The EPROM is now relocatable
           and the 1MB aperture can be disabled.  In addition, the device
           drivers are modified to support Display Mode Query and Set (DMQS), a
           comprehensive new method for identifying monitors and display adapter
           characteristics.
                  The combinations of these features provide a new flexibility
           for system configuration and inventory management of displays and
           graphics adapter cards.
           PRODUCT POSITIONING
           The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides a superset of function
           and more than twice the performance of the existing IBM XGA Display
           Adapter/A at a reduced price.  New higher screen refresh rate (75Hz)
           and noninterlaced scanning enhance ergonomic benefits to the customer
           in the form of reduced flicker at high resolution (1024 X 768).
           XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also offers enhanced color features, support
           for new 95XX monitors, and conforms with new industry and government
           standards.  The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is intended to replace the
           XGA Display Adapter/A.

                  The software supplied with the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
           automatically exploits IBM 85XX and 95XX monitors at the best
           resolution and refresh rate possible for the monitor attached.
                  Supported resolutions detailed above that are not available on
           IBM displays, are available with some non-IBM (OEM) displays.  These
           displays range in capability from low cost/low function to high
           cost/high function.  Most of these displays respond as an IBM 8514
           display when queried by the software supplied with the XGA-2
           subsystem.  As a result, IBM 8514 resolutions and refresh rates are
           used as default.
                  The software supplied with the IBM XGA-2 Display Adapter/A,
           allows the user to override the default screen resolution.

           capability of the attached display, can yield unpredictable results.
           WARNING:  Some multi frequency displays may appear to function
           correctly, however damage may occur over time.
           o   The user must only select resolutions which are suitable for the
               display attached to the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A.
           o   The use of the resolution override should be avoided if the
               display attached to the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is to be changed
               frequently with displays of varying characteristics.
                  The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A along with certain IBM
           displays, computers and some software has been certified to meet the
           International Standards Organization (ISO) standard 9241/3.  IBM
           cannot guarantee that all OEM and 63XX displays attached to the XGA-2
           Display Adapter/A will provide acceptable front of screen
           characteristics or meet the ISO 9241/3 standard.
                  Refer to the PS/2 Hardware Interface Technical Reference --
           Video Subsystem (S42G-2193), for more details on resolution and
           monitor support.

           COMPATIBILITY:
                  Hardware Compatibility -- While providing additional
           capabilities, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is fully compatible with
           the XGA Display Adapter/A.  (Refer to the PS/2 Hardware Interface
           Technical Reference -- Video Subsystem, S42G-2193-00, for additional
           information.)
                  In VGA mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is fully compatible with
           XGA Display Adapter/A.  No application modifications are required.
                  In 132 column text mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports the
           same 8-pixel characters and resolutions (1056x200, 1056x350,
           1056x400) as XGA.  In addition, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides
           9-pixel characters with resolutions of 1188x200, 1188x350, and
           1188x400.  132 column text mode can be displayed with either ISO or
           non-ISO refresh rates, but should be invoked only when the attached
           monitor can accept the appropriate video rates.  Refer to the Display
           Units Supported section for details on video rates.
                  IBM recommends that applications developers use the BIOS mode
           14h call to invoke 132 column text mode to ensure future
           compatibility.  Applications written to XGA hardware for 132 column
           support (1056 PELS) will also get 1056 PELS with XGA-2 hardware.
           Applications written to BIOS mode 14h will get 1056 PEL on XGA
           hardware and 1188 PELS on XGA-2 hardware.
                  In extended graphics mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports
           all the same functions as the XGA Display Adapter/A and provides the
           following additional capabilities:
           o   Enhanced coprocessor support for 16-bit direct color mode.
           o   Enhanced DACs for expanded color selection.
                  Application modifications may be required depending on the
           type of monitor attached (refer to the Software Compatibility
           section).

                  The following XGA device drivers will provide XGA function
           when used with XGA-2 Display Adapter/A and existing PS/2 85XX
           monitors:
           o   OS/2 1.3 Presentation Manager XGA device driver (requires
               installation of CSD # XR05100 for OS/2 SE v1.3 or CSD # WR05100
               for OS/2 EE v1.3)
           o   OS/2 2.00 Presentation Manager XGA device driver
           o   Microsoft Windows 3.0 XGA device driver
           o   AutoCAD release 10 XGA device driver.
                  No application or driver modifications are required for
           extended graphics mode on existing PS/2 monitors.  Support of new
           95XX monitors, however, requires modification to applications and
           device drivers to implement Display Mode Query and Set (DMQS), a
           comprehensive new method for identifying monitor and display adapter
           characteristics.  DMQS better enables applications and drivers to
           maintain compatibility with changes in adapter and monitor products.
           (Refer to the PS/2 Video Subsystem Technical Reference, S42G-2193-00,
           for additional information.)
                  IBM recommends that XGA-2 applications be written to the API's
           of O/S 2 Presentation Manager and Microsoft Windows rather than to
           the XGA-2 hardware registers or the XGA-2 DOS AI.  If writing to the
           hardware registers, consult the PS/2 XGA Adapter Interface Technical
           Reference, S15F-2154-00, to ensure XGA/XGA-2 register compatibility.
           The XGA-2 DOS AI does not support 132 column text mode or direct
           color mode.
