MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If you attempt to run Word on a Macintosh system using the 80286 DOS 2.00 coprocessor board, problems may occur. The 80286 DOS 2.00 coprocessor board is designed to allow you to run DOS-based applications and Macintosh-based applications on the same system. It allows you to create a DOS 2.00 partition on a Macintosh hard disk. Some reported problems are as follows:


 * 1) When saving a document to the directory that contains the Word program files, the system locks up and requires a system reboot.
 * 2) When printing a document to an Apple LaserWriter using the POSTSCRP.PRD driver, the system locks up and requires a system reboot.

Microsoft has not tested Word with the 80286 DOS 2.00 coprocessor board and therefore cannot guarantee the results.
