#Targa+ Board
5 messages in this thread
Has anyone else had any trouble getting their targa+ board running w/ 3DS4. I
just upgraded from R3 where it worked fine. The other machines in the office
haven't had a problem witht he upgrade. Any ideas would be helpful.

What types of problems have youy been having? My transfer from r3 to r4
went without a hitch. Did you change anything else (config.sys file, etc.)?
Are your Targa driver(s) in the 3ds4\drivers directory? Have you tried using
both the Vibrant Targa+ drivers and the RDPADI option in 3ds vibcfg? Does the
board still work with any Targa apps that it shipped with?

The board still works perfectly w/ R3. I'm actually loading the RDPADI from R4
and it's still only working from R3. I was however, unaware of a vibrant driver
for the Targa+. I'll go ahead and try that.

Your not having a "can't find protected mode ADI driver" problem are you??? If
you are, let me know how it turns out, I have the same problem. If you know
anyone who may be able to help, let me know.
thanks

I've come across the same error message after reloading 3DS, and doing
other mucking around with hardware/software. Every time it came down to some
simple thing I've overlooked. Have you and Steve:
1.) Copyied the Targa+ drivers into the 3DS4\drivers subdirectory?
2.) Used the correct SET statement for the RDPADI device/driver in the
autoexec.bat?
Mine reads: "SET RDPADI=c:\3ds4\drivers\rdtplus.exp
3.) Set the correct memory exclusion statement for the Targa+ in your
config.sys file?
Mine reads: "[memory manager here] X=E000-EFFF"
4.) Initialized the Targa+ board in your config.sys?
Mine reads: "DEVICE=c:\tplus\targap.sys b0 i230 me r1 w1
I also have the statement "c:\tplus\tmode 11 6" in my autoexec.bat, which
sets the Targa+ to 512 x 486 interlaced, and I'm ready to go!
