Copy menu.prg, menu.bib and sta_vdi.prg to the autofolder. Create some
decent resolutions with the Nova VMG-program, and copy the library you
saved it to to the auto-folder and rename it to sta_vdi.bib.

Hold down the hotkeys while booting to display the menu. You can then
select resolution etc.

Delete or rename the NVDI screen-drivers (nvdidrv?.sys) so NVDI
doesn't find them. NVDI must run after sta_vdi.prg. Use the enclosed
program (sorry for the binary guys, but it's only 5K...) to
automatically do this, run it after sta_vdi and before NVDI. It will
then automatically enable/disable the NVDI screen-drivers, depending
on whether Nova VDI is installed or not.

In the Nova accessory or CPX.

Load the VMG-program and start experimenting... That's how I did it
:-)

If you want to write games for the Nova I have some example source
here. But if you want to run existing games on the Nova; forget it.
Use the Videl instead. A monitor-switch or two monitors is
definelately a must with a Nova.

Very easy, look above :-)
Good luck with the graphics-card!
