Desqview provides true multitasking of applications by using the virtual mode capabilities of the i386 microprocessor. PARADOX 386 The Inboard 386/PC is compatible with Paradox 386 in some computers. It is incompatible in these computers: IBM PC2s and older COMPAQ Portables. Apparently, Paradox 386 reads the computer's "signature" and then uses the appropriate commands. Paradox can't cope with an 80386 chip in the older COMPAQ 8088-based computers. If you try to load Paradox in this type of computer, an interrupt error (interrupt 00, 06, or 0D) occurs, the contents of certain registers are displayed on the screen, and the computer locks up. If the computer is on a network, a network error may be displayed. Occasionally the computer may lock up without displaying error messages. ILIM386 and Paradox 386 are incompatible in any computer. PC-MOS 386 Software Link (manufacturer of PC-MOS 386) reports that Release 4.0 of PC-MOS 386 is compatible with both Inboard 386 and Inboard 386/PC. Earlier versions of this operating system were incompatible with Inboard 386/PC. If you have an earlier version of PC-MOS 386 and you want to use Inboard 386/PC, contact Software Link for an upgrade (main switchboard number: (404) 448-5465; technical support number: (404) 263-8676). For compatibility with Inboard 386/PC, you must get special drivers and software from Software Link. This software corrects a conflict between PC-MOS and the PC BIOS. There are also drivers that replace the INBRDPC.SYS driver extended memory handling functions and speed switching. These files are available on the Software Link BBS at (404) 263-8772. VM/386 This 386 Control Program is not compatible with the InBoard 386/PC. It requires a 16 bit data bus and therefore only works in IBM PC ATs and compatibles. CONCURRENT DOS 386 Digital Research (DRI) reports CONCURRENT DOS 386 and the Inboard 386/PC are incompatible. DR DOS We have customer reports of compatibility with Digital Research's DOS 6.x and the Inboard 386/pc. Digital Research phone number (408) 647-6675. INBOARD 386/PC DOS COMPATIBILITY The InBoard 386/PC is compatible with DOS Versions 3.0 and higher. The Inboard 386/PC's ISPEEDPC software requires DOS 3.1 or higher. IBM PC-DOS 4.0 AND 4.01 IBM did not follow the EMS specification when designing PC-DOS 4.0 and 4.01, so they do not use expanded memory correctly. If you want to use a DOS 4.x operating system, try Microsoft's MS-DOS 4.01. It uses EMS memory correctly. DOS 4.xx will allow disk partitions larger than 32MB. Intel's ICACHE disk caching program supports partitions of up 32MB. If your disk partitions are larger than 32MB, do not use ICACHE. OS/2 The Inboard 386/PC is incompatible with OS/2. OS/2 was not designed to function on an 8-bit system and the Inboard 386/PC CANNOT mask the 8-bit system board from OS/2. UNIX/XENIX Both Unix and Xenix are incompatible with the Inboard 386/PC. These operating systems require more IBM PC AT-type hardware (such as high- density floppy and hard disks, AT ROM BIOS, additional DMA channels, and a large amount of extended memory) than Inboard 386/PC alone can provide. WINDOWS 386 Microsoft has two versions of Windows 386: Windows 386 and Windows 386 for the Inboard 386/PC. "Windows 386" is written specifically for IBM PC ATs and compatibles and won't run on the Inboard 386/PC. "Windows 386 for the Inboard 386/PC", however, is designed specifically for Inboard 386/PC and can be used ONLY with the Inboard 386/PC. Windows 386 support:You can get technical support for Windows 386 for the Inboard 386/PC from Microsoft at (206) 882-8089.
