Figure 7-11: Matrox G400 Configuration Properties

The BIOS ROM File input field gives you the ability to load different Matrox G400 BIOS ROMs into the device. This is in particular useful if Matrox releases a new BIOS ROM file which has improvements or bug fixes.

To check for new Matrox BIOS ROM releases go to http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/bios/.

The Matrox G400 ROM has a maximum size of 32-Kbytes, and is assigned to ISA bus address 0x000C0000 - 0x000C7FFF, which is the industry-standard location.

The Configuration tab lets you choose from six different Matrox G400 graphics adapters. For instance, if you prefer to use a Matrox Millennium G400, SingleHead, 16 Mbytes of SDRAM, with a 300 MHz RAMDAC, instead of the default adapter then select this adapter from the Millennium G400 Adapters list. To apply the new configuration, click on the „Ok‟ button.

Note if you make any changes in the Configuration tab you must restart or reset your simulation before the new configuration will take effect!

Difference from Real Hardware

The Matrox G400 graphics device is a faithful simulation of the software-visible portion of a Matrox G400 adapter; it is not a model of the specific Matrox G400 hardware. Because of this, the graphics device is not equivalent in certain areas. Any issues related
