Field reports indicate the disk controller and BIOS are incompatible and must be replaced. JAMECO will supply Phoenix ROM BIOS version 2.05 for users wanting to use Inboard 386/PC. JDR MICRODEVICES SYSTEM BOARD (Field report) Multiple field reports indicate this system board works with the Inboard 386/PC, but Intel has not tested it. Using this system board would be an alternative if you already have an Inboard 386/PC and an incompatible computer. Contact JDR to determine which system board you need. JDR's number is (800) 538-5000. KAYPRO PC (Field report) The Inboard 386/PC is reported to work in only the 4.77-MHz version of this computer. The Inboard 386/PC cable is difficult to install and must be twisted. Some users report Inboard 386/PC software problems and floppy disk access problems. Other reports indicate some versions of the Kaypro BIOS use a nonstandard method to set up the DMA memory access range. Replacing the BIOS could solve the problem. To disable conventional memory to 256K bytes in the Kaypro, you must set the following switches on switch block 1 of the Combo-Controller Card: switch 2 on and switches 3 and 4 off. LEADING EDGE MODEL D - GENERAL NOTES Leading Edge Model Ds use a variety of system boards and BIOS configurations. The Inboard 386/PC works in only the following configurations: þ Two-speed ASIC computer with BIOS 3.0 þ Two-speed ASIC computer with BIOS 2.13 þ Two-speed non-ASIC computer with BIOS 3.0 þ Two-speed non-ASIC computer with BIOS 2.13 þ One-speed non-ASIC computer with BIOS 2.13 If you're unsure which BIOS version you have, restart your computer (by pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys), and note the BIOS version number the computer displays. If you're still unsure which computer you have, examine the back panel of the computer and match the configuration to the ones described in the following sections. THE ONE-SPEED COMPUTER The following switches and cable connections are located across the bottom of the back panel, from left to right (when facing the back panel): þ Monochrome monitor cable connection port þ Toggle switch to select monochrome or color monitor þ Color Graphics Adapter cable connection port þ Serial cable connection port þ Parallel cable connection port You may receive a ROM Checksum error on warm boot in this computer. To ignore the error, press F1. To eliminate the error, include the NOCACHE parameter on the INBRDPC.SYS command in the CONFIG.SYS file. THE TWO-SPEED COMPUTER The following switches and cable connections are located across the bottom of the back panel, from left to right (when facing the back panel): þ Monochrome monitor cable connection port þ Toggle switch to select monochrome or color monitor þ Color Graphics Adapter cable connection port þ Serial cable connection port þ Toggle switch to select 7.16-MHz or 4.77-MHz operation þ Parallel cable connection port THE TWO-SPEED ALTERNATE VERSION The following switches and cable connections are located across the bottom of the back panel, from left to right (when facing the back panel): þ Toggle switch to select monochrome or color monitor þ Video cable connection port þ Serial cable connection port þ Toggle switch to select 7.16-MHz or 4.77-MHz operation þ Parallel cable connection port LEADING EDGE INCOMPATIBLE TWO-SPEED VERSION The Inboard 386/PC is incompatible with the latest version of the Model D because the computer uses the Intel Wildcard as the CPU. The 8088 is permanently attached to the board. This is the only Leading Edge that uses BIOS version 3.10. The back of this computer has only one video connector and no speed switch. The Wildcard CPU stands upright between the power supply and first bus slot. This computer began shipping in December, 1988. LEADING EDGE MODEL M This computer is incompatible with Inboard 386/PC. The 8088 is usually soldered to the system board, and memory overlap problems occur with the Inboard 386/PC.
