IBM replaced the Graphics PCI adapter for the E-30. The new
board is called GXT110P and is compatible with the old one, except for the software
drivers that need to be installed. The attached file describes the installation procedure.
Note: There is a certain incompatability between your
previous adapter and the new adapter with regard to the software driver and you may not be
able to use the Brisque terminal to perform the software installation.
The installation can be performed either by remote contact
via Telnet from another station, or by opening a Ripro Terminal on the Mac.
