 WHAT IT IS

     When Microsoft shipped the original Windows 3.0, it could only be run
     in the REAL (and rarely the STANDARD) mode on systems with an InBoard
     386/PC. Intel responded to customer requests and hired a programmer to
     port Windows 3.0 into Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC.

     Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC will run in ENHANCED, STANDARD, or
     REAL modes right out of the box. This gives the customer the perfect
     environment for running Windows 3.0 compatible software.

     Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC has under gone extensive testing on
     IBM PCs and XTs, Compaq Portables and Portable Plus, Tandy 1200HDs, and
     Leading Edge Model Ds. Final testing showed any problems existing with
     Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC also exist with Windows 3.0 running
     on a true 386 machine.

     Technical support for this will be provided by Microsoft, Ph: (206)
     454-2030.

 WHERE CAN I GET IT?

     NOTE:   This product was no longer available through retail channels
             after March 31, 1992.  Versions of Windows greater than 3.0
             will not be ported to the InBoard 386/PC.

     Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC is currently on available WHILE
     SUPPLIES LAST from the Intel Order Department. The cost for this
     version of Windows 3.0 is $79 and is available only in the United
     States and Canada.

     Ordering information is available from the FaxBACK document 9012.

 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

     1.  MEMORY:  A system with an InBoard 386/PC and no piggy will run
         Windows for the InBoard 386/PC in REAL mode. Windows for the
         InBoard 386/PC follows Microsoft specifications and requires 384K
         Extended memory for the STANDARD mode and as much Extended memory
         as possible for the ENHANCED mode. To get the maximum performance,
         a piggy with at least 1Mb should be added. 2 or 4Mb is better.

     2.  VGA: is almost a must. The screens look better and it is easier on
         the eyes. CGA has the most difficult to look at display. A name
         brand video card is also highly recommended. Clone video cards can
         cause problems.

     3.  MOUSE: A Mouse is almost a requirement. Moving through Windows
         without a Mouse is inconvenient at best, maddening at worst.

     4.  HARD DISK:  Hard Disk capacity is critical. Windows 3.0
         applications are Hard Disk pigs. Windows 3.0 for the InBoard 386/PC
         can run just fine on a 10Mb drive, but more memory is very
         desirable.

     5.  HIGH DENSITY DRIVE:  A High Density Drive is going to become very
         important. Nearly all Windows 3.0 applications ship on 1.2M
         floppies. Some High Density Floppy Controllers have a BIOS on them
         that conflicts with the InBoard 386/PC.

     NOTE:
         Try to integrate the Hard Drive and Floppy Drive Controllers. This
         will save a slot and cut down on the number of vendors supplying
         control equipment. Check under High Density Controllers in an XT.
