MEMORY BOARDS - GENERAL NOTES

  Any memory board in a system with an InBoard 386 should be set for
  Extended memory. Any memory installed on the InBoard 386 must be addressed
  first and will begin supplying Extended memory at either the 1Meg or
  1.5Meg starting address. Setting memory boards to provide Extended memory
  and then using an 80386 specific memory manager (like Quarterdeck's
  QEMM386, Qualitas' 386ToTheMAX, or Intel's ILIM386 which came with the
  InBoard 386) will maximize the properties of the 80386 CPU provided by the
  InBoard 386.

  If the InBoard 386 has memory installed, that memory can be used to
  provide fast, 32 bit Conventional memory from 256K to 640K. This will
  result in a speed increase of about 33% over providing all Conventional
  memory on the motherboard or on a standard memory card.

FAX BOARDS - GENERAL NOTES

  Adding an InBoard 386/PC to a system with a fax board, or adding a fax
  board to a system with an InBoard 386/PC should cause no problems. If
  problems occur and ICACHE.COM is being used to cache the hard drive,
  remove ICACHE.COM from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

INTEL CONNECTION COPROCESSOR

  Intel has tested the Connection Coprocessor with the Inboard 386/PC, and
  they are compatible.

INTEL SATISFAXTION

  Intel has tested the SATISFAXTION with the Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.

I/O BOARDS - GENERAL NOTES

  Adding an I/O board to a system with an InBoard 386/PC or adding a InBoard
  386/PC to a system with an I/O board should cause no problems.

  It may be necessary to slow the InBoard 386/PC to 4.77MHz during the boot
  process (add SPEED=1 to the INBRDPC.SYS command line in the CONFIG.SYS
  file) and then speed the InBoard 386/PC back up to 16MHz once everything
  has had a chance to be properly initialized (add the line ISPEEDPC 4 to
  the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

AST MINI I/O

  Intel has received mixed customer reports of compatibility between this
  board and Inboard 386/PC.  One user tried three Mini I/O boards
  unsuccessfully, other users had no problems.

PERSYST I/O BOARD

  The clock driver for this board must be loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
  with the Inboard set to speed 1.  Modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:

  1.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 1
  2.   Load the clock driver
  3.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 4

KEYBOARDS - GENERAL NOTES

  Most "enhanced" keyboards for PC type systems have non-standard decoding
  of the enhanced keys. The problems a user might run into can range from
  the standard left <ALT> key working while the 'enhanced' right <ALT> key
  does nothing to the 'enhanced' function keys (<F11> and <F12>) either not
  working or behaving erratically.

KEYTRONICS TOUCHPAD AND WINDOWS

  Customers report computers with an Inboard 386/PC locking up when exiting
  Windows if a Keytronics Touchpad Keyboard is used.

WANG KEYBOARD

  This keyboard is incompatible with Inboard 386/PC.  The computer will not
  boot.

MICE - GENERAL NOTES

  Adding a mouse to a system with an InBoard 386/PC or adding an InBoard
  386/PC to a system with a mouse should cause no problems. It may be
  necessary to slow the InBoard 386/PC to 4.77MHz during the boot process
  (add SPEED=1 to the INBRDPC.SYS command line in the CONFIG.SYS file) and
  then speed the InBoard 386/PC back up to 16MHz once everything has had a
  chance to be properly initialized (add the line ISPEEDPC 4 to the end of
  the AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

  NOTE: In PC systems, IRQ5 must be reserved for the hard disk
        controller. Additionally, there are several VGA cards that
        will use IRQ2. It is important to configure the mouse so it
        does not use an IRQ that conflicts with another component of
        the system.

ATI MOUSE

  Intel has tested this product with Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.

LOGITECH MOUSE

  Intel has tested this product with Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.

MICROSOFT MOUSE

  compatible.

SCANNERS - GENERAL NOTES

  Adding a scanner to a system with an InBoard 386/PC or adding an InBoard
  386/PC to a system with a scanner should cause no problems.

  It may be necessary to slow the InBoard 386/PC to 4.77MHz during the boot
  process (add SPEED=1 to the INBRDPC.SYS command line in the CONFIG.SYS
  file) and then speed the InBoard 386/PC back up to 16MHz once everything
  has had a chance to be properly initialized (add the line ISPEEDPC 4 to
  the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

  NOTE: In PC systems, IRQ5 must be reserved for the hard disk
        controller. Additionally, there are several VGA cards that
        will use IRQ2. It is important to configure the scanner so it
        does not use an IRQ that conflicts with another component of
        the system.

TAPE BACKUP - GENERAL NOTES

  Adding a tape backup board to a system with an InBoard 386/PC or adding an
  InBoard 386/PC to a system with a tape backup board should cause no
  problems. It may be necessary to slow the InBoard 386/PC to 4.77MHz during
  the boot process (add SPEED=1 to the INBRDPC.SYS command line in the
  CONFIG.SYS file) and then speed the InBoard 386/PC back up to 16MHz once
  everything has had a chance to be properly initialized (add the line
  ISPEEDPC 4 to the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

ALLOY FTFA 60

  Customers report that this system is incompatible with the Inboard 386/PC.
  Inboard 386/PC apparently works with all functions of this tape backup
  system except the tape formatting functions.

IRWIN 110

  (Field report)  Reports indicate the Irwin 110 is compatible with Inboard
  386/PC.  One user reported having to switch the Inboard 386/PC to a slow
  speed to format a tape.

EVEREX TAPE BACKUP

  Intel has tested this product with Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.

MAYNARD QIC-02 MAYNSTREAM

  Intel has tested this product with the Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.  Intel performed hard disk back-up as well as floppy disk
  back-up in image mode.

SYSGEN TAPE SUBSYSTEM 5500A, REV D

  Intel has tested this product with the Inboard 386/PC, and they are
  compatible.  Intel performed hard disk back-up (using FBACK) as well as
  floppy disk back-up (using IBACK) in image mode.

CLOCKS - GENERAL NOTES

  The Inboard 386/PC can cause any add-in clock/calendar to not initialize
  properly when booting.  To correct this problem, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT
  file as follows:

  1.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 1
  2.   Load the clock driver
  3.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 4

  If you boot into Windows 386, you may receive an "Unsupported DOS version"
  message.  This results from using ISPEEDPC 1 in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  If
  you have this problem, add the SPEED=1 parameter to the INBRDPC.SYS driver
  in the CONFIG.SYS file, and then use the ISPEEDPC 4 command after the
  clock initialization command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

CLOCK-ON-A-CHIP

  The Inboard 386/PC can cause the clock to disappear when installed in a
  computer with D-Clock or No-Slot-Clock.  These are chips that plug into
  either the processor socket or a ROM socket.  To correct this problem,
  modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:

  1.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 1
  2.   Load the clock driver
  3.   Set Inboard 386/PC to ISPEEDPC 4

  If you boot into Windows 386, you may receive an "Unsupported DOS version"
  message.  This results from using ISPEEDPC 1 in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  If
  you have this problem, add the SPEED=1 parameter to the INBRDPC.SYS driver
  in the CONFIG.SYS file, and then use the ISPEEDPC 4 command after the
  GETIME command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

  Neither QEMM nor 386TTM can cache the ROM the clock is sitting under.
  Otherwise the clock will not be read.

COPYIIPC OPTION BOARD

  Customers report this board is compatible with Inboard 386/PC, but you
  can't duplicate diskettes with ILIM386 installed.

  Duplicating diskettes with ILIM386 installed causes the computer to lock
  up.  Make sure the ILIM386 line is not in your CONFIG.SYS file if doing
  disk copying using the COPYIIPC option board installed.  Removing the
  COPYIIPC Option board also eliminates the problem.

D-CLOCK II

  Customers report this clock is compatible with Inboard 386/PC.  You don't
  need to boot the Inboard 386/PC at low speed to load this clock's driver.
  This product is made by Microsync, Inc., 2107 W. Euless Blvd., Euless, TX
  76040.  Their phone number is (817) 540-0938.

IBM DATA ACQUISITION BOARD

  Customers report that this analog-to-digital converter board is
  incompatible with the Inboard 386/PC.

NEC 8800 SPINWRITER

  One customer installed an Inboard 386/PC into an IBM PC XT, and afterwards
  an attached NEC 8800 Spinwriter printer printed correctly only in speed 1.
  This customer then installed a print spooler program called Softbytes
  (from Microtek), and the printer worked fine at all speeds.
