+How to patch NVDI 5.x to run on the FireBee
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This patch was successfully applied to NVDI versions 5.00, 5.01 and 5.03.
+Your FireTOS has to be from 27th of July 2011 or newer - all new FireBees
+has newer TOS-versions already.
+
+1. Start up your FireBee into FireTOS
+
+2. Install NVDI 5.x. If you install it using the installation program you
+   must first use an other computer to copy all files *except* NEXTDISK 
+   from both NVDI floppies to a SD-card/CF-card or USB-stick.
+   If you have an other computer with NVDI 5.x installed, you can also copy
+   this installation directly to your FireBee CF-card. If you do this, make
+   sure that you're not including any third-party graphics card drivers!
+
+3. Rename all NVDI*.SYS Files to NVDI*.SYX. This means you have to go to the
+   folder C:/GEMSYS/ and rename the following files:
+   * NVDIDRV1.SYS
+   * NVDIDRV2.SYS
+   * NVDIDRV4.SYS
+   * NVDIDRV8.SYS
+   * NVDIDRVH.SYS
+
+4. Start the patch-program NVDIPTCH.TTP. The desktop will now ask for
+   parameters - don't enter any (NVDIPTCH.TTP expects the following directories; 
+   C:\AUTO\NVDI.PRG and C:\GEMSYS\OFF*.NOD ) except in the case where 
+   your bootpartition isn't C:. If this is the case, enter the name of the
+   partition (e.g. "d:"). 
+   When you press ENTER, you will be asked to confirm each file to be
+   patched. Answer "Yes" ("y" -> "enter") to all of these (normally 14 files).
+
+   Now your patch is applied and you can leave the patch-program, the
+   patching itself is now finished.
+
+5. Now use ColdBoot (SBOOT.PRG in the autofolder) to move nvdi.prg *before*
+   mint.prg. You can also sort the AUTO-folder manually. In any case NVDI
+   has to be before MiNT and after ColdBoot.
+
+Now you can reboot and enjoy the power of NVDI on your FireBee :)
