The same version of DOS must be used throughout all phases

the specifications and maximum drive capacity of the disc
drive. Refer to the BIOS configuration section of this manual

fied in your system BIOS.

Before installing any new software, scan
the installation diskettes for viruses. After the software has

Symptoms of viruses can include intermittent system lock-
ups, reboots and drive errors.
