P70.EXE
This disables the P70 plasma display and places an installed XGA adapter
into VGA mode if the XGA card has a display connected. The utility will not
switch to the XGA card if the system board XGA has a display connected.
/u (undo) return to the plasma display.
/h or /? for help.
P75.EXE
This selects the P75 plasma display as the primary VGA display and disables
the VGA output on the Micro Channel installed XGA adapter.
/u (undo) return VGA output to the XGA adapter.
/h or the /? option for help.
XGAOPT.exe (zipped image)
Installs the updated (as of '92) SC.EXE, XGA/2, and SCSI, SCSI w/cache ADFs,
plus updated *.dgs. For 5565, 5657, 70486, 7080, 7677, 90, 95, P70, P75. For
any system with refdisks after 92/93, these files are probably redundant.
Limits of SC.EXE (for Model 70/80 and like systems)
WBST Clarke:
As initially created, the Model 70/80 Reference & Diagnostics
Diskette v1.12 only has SC.EXE (System Configuration utility) v2.1, which needs
updating to at least v2.2.

XGA-2 Install Attempt Failing After Copy of ADF Files
Compliments of Jim Shorney:
You need to boot on the XGA option disk and select the menu item
to 'Update Model 70/80 Reference Diskette'.
:help id='Update Model 70/80 Reference Diskette ' langid=enu. This selection
copies Set Configuration (SC.EXE), associated system and option configuration
files to your backup copy of the Model 70/80 Reference diskette. When prompted
for the target drive, enter the diskette drive letter that contains your backup
copy of the reference diskette.
The new Set Configuration program and associated files allow users to take
advantage of the newest features and functions.
This update requires reference diskette version 1.10 or greater. Any
previous version will not work properly with this update.
Compliments of Al Savage:
The problem was: with only an XGA-2 card installed, the memory
would count up, then a "165" error occurred. Running a fresh refdisk v1.12,
containing the appropriate two adf files (@8fda.adf & c8fda.adf) and
allowing Auto Configuration would produce this error:
[in a red text box]
Error
An error occurred while reading the option adapter file for the adapter
in slot X.
and the "165" error would reoccur after next reboot.
The solution: The v1.12 refdisk contains files whose modification dates are
all 1990, and does not accomodate XGA-2.
To use the XGA-2 with an 8580, the v1.12 refdisk *must* be modified using
the file XGA2ADP.EXE; almost file dates are 1993.
Running XGA2ADP.exe creates a diskette. You then boot this diskette, it
creates a RAMdisk, copies files to the RAMDISK, and a menu batch file is
invoked. The menu presents several choices of refdisks to update:
55/56
56/57
70/80
70-486
76/77
90
95
P70
P75
You choose a model, and are prompted for a drive letter to update. I chose
A:, and was prompted to insert the refdisk diskette. The refdisk modification
process took about three minutes. Rebooting with the modified refdisk -- and an
XGA-2 card installed -- yielded an Autoconfig with no errors, and the following
reboot showed no 165 error.
