Vibrant problem

Copy from the letter addressed to YOST before I see you:
Hallo Chuck,
the new IPAS #6 + #7 disks are arrived.
🙂
But I can't admire them cause I have some problems with the new VIBRANT driver.
🙁 I have installed a BOCA SVGA with a cirrus chip GD-5422 VESA BIOS
1.02 that workes well, but it has not the stable frequency for high
resolution eye-spare [hope you understand]. Secondary I have
installed a SPEA HiLite (Super res./freq. in all) ADIREND.EXP V3.12
(10.14.93) P386 ADI. That's my working environment. Everytime I
install RCPADI at the VIBRANT installation prompt into the new VIB.
driver I get an
Abnormal program termination: Memory protection fault
CS:EIP = 0008h:00001860h
after starting 3DS.EXE (doesn't matter if it's the old or the
"APPDATA"-patched version of 3DS.EXE). The CS:EIP-Address will vary
with the position of the RCPADI (Main-Display,Material-Disp. or
Render-Displ). So I found out the old VIBRAND works well in this
configuration (RCPADI) but I think the fast-shading viewport of
DISPLACE etc. will not work. Now, what problem do I have? Is it the
new VIBRANT driver? Is it the combination in the VIB. config mix it
with RCPADI. Or is it a SPEA eg. RCPADI problem?
To be honest, I am a little confused by your problem description…
Ok. What is the device set for Display, Materials, and Render? If you have
cleared RCPADI and RDPADI, and just select VIBRANT, does it work? The Spea
HiLite is a TIGA board, correct? If so, you can use the TIGA selection of
Vibrant without using the RCPADI/RDPADI driver.
The latest version should be 1.0.3.P1 (pretty much the same as 1.0.3.C2).
Please try to use the all VIBRANT version to see if it works. If so, and you
still need the RCPADI driver, try it. If it doesn't work, send me your
3DS.SET, autoexec.bat, and config.sys via e-mail.
