GEM/3 video driver for the ACT Apricot PC/Xi
============================================

  This archive contains a video driver for the ACT Apricot PC / Xi series,
allowing GEM or FreeGEM to be used in the 800x400 graphics mode.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Because the Apricot PC is not IBM-compatible, the installation method I 
recommend is to install GEM on a real PC (using the EGA mono 640x350 driver), 
and then copy the resulting program directories onto the Apricot. Then edit
the resulting system as follows:

  For GEM/1 or GEM/2: 

1. Copy SDAXI9.EGA to \GEMSYS\SDAXI9.SYS
2. Edit ASSIGN.SYS and edit the line starting 01. Replace the existing
  driver name with SDAXI9. For example, change:

	01 IBMEHFP5 
to
	01 SDAXI9

  For GEM/3 or FreeGEM: 

1. Delete any SD* files in \GEMAPPS\GEMSYS. 
2. Copy SDAXI9.EGA to \GEMAPPS\GEMSYS\SDAXI9.EGA

In use
~~~~~~

  It's a GEM driver - in theory, you should just be able to use any GEM 
program with it as normal.

- If you want mouse support, load the Microsoft mouse driver (MOUSE.SYS) in
 your CONFIG.SYS file.

- The MicroScreen keys 1-5 are mapped to the 10 function keys that GEM 
expects: key 1 to F1/F2, key 2 to F3/F4, and so on. Use Shift to select the
even-numbered function key.

- MicroScreen key 6 toggles the keyboard mouse on or off. If keyboard mouse
 is on, use the cursor keys to move the pointer, HOME as the left mouse
 button, CLEAR as the right mouse button. Key 1 on the numeric keypad starts
 a mouse drag operation.

- Since there is no ALT key, CTRL+SHIFT+letter should have the same effect.

Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* There is no keyboard repeat, which makes the keyboard mouse somewhat
 trying to use. Sorry.

* I don't actually know whether Caps Lock works, since I never use it.

* Although the driver contains codepage support, all the versions of Apricot
 MS-DOS I've seen are 2.x, so it isn't actually possible to use a codepage
 other than the default GEM one.
