SUMMARY
IBM has confirmed that the PCJr will not operate properly with Microsoft MS- DOS 5.0 or later.
MORE INFORMATION
A symptom of above incompatibility is the following error message that may be displayed during the MS-DOS 5.00 setup routine:
Due to the architecture of the IBM PCjr, only MS-DOS versions 2.1 through MS-DOS 3.3 are considered compatible with the IBM PCjr series of computers.
Note: The IBM PCjr can only access a maximum of 640K. To use as much of the 640K as possible, IBM suggests you not use any version of MS-DOS later than 3.3.
The product included here, the IBM PCjr, is manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
