Notes:

1. All video configurations were tested with PC DOS 2.00, 2.10, Compaq DOS 2.11, and PC DOS 3.10. PC DOS 3.30 was used in testing the PS/2 machines.
2. Unless otherwise specified, EGA video configurations refers to both 64K and 256K EGA boards tested in both 25- and 43-line modes.
3. EGA monochrome refers to an EGA board with switches set to emulate monochrome output, hooked up to a monochrome monitor.
4. Hercules includes the following: GB101, GB 102, GB112, and the Hercules In-Color GB222.
5. Genius Display was tested. It worked properly on 25-line mode only. It does not support 66-line display.
6. Configuration tests included mouse testing with Bus, Inport, and Serial mice. Mouse Driver Version 6.11 (MOUSE.SYS) was tested and shipped with PC Works.
7. Portables have built-in graphics and are not listed separately.
8. These machines exhibited severe compatibility problems and were removed from the list of machines to test. In the case of the 3270s, the decision not to support the machines was based on nonstandard 3270 graphics.
9. These machines were not in service and could not be replaced in time for configuration tests.
