HARDCARD IIXL AND WINDOWS 3.0 

TECHNICAL BULLETIN

When a Hardcard IIXL is installed in a 386 system and Windows 3.0 is 
used, non windows applications can not be run in the 386 enhanced 
mode.  One of the following symptoms indicates a problem:

      1) When starting the non Windows application, the screen 
         goes blank and after the following message is received: 
         "Not ready error reading drive X: Abort, Retry, Fail?".
         Press A for Abort.

      2) When starting the non Windows application, the system 
         locks up at the non Windows application screen.  There 
         is no keyboard response and a warm boot is required to 
         restart the system.

Plus has successfully resolved the problem with the release of 
Version 1.70 of the Plus ATDOSXL.SYS device driver.

To check the version of ATDOSXL that you are currently using, turn on 
or reboot your system and watch your monitor for the Hardcard IIXL 
DOS device driver sign on message.  If the version number is below 1.70, 
you may obtain the upgrade by:

                    (408) 434-6900  extension 5233.
