Explanation of Compatibility Testing 
NEXTSTEP Compatible systems are tested by third parties using a test procedure developed by NeXT. NeXT approves the use of the "NEXTSTEP Compatible" designation for these systems based on the completeness of the test results submitted by these NeXT-trained 3rd parties.
 
For more detailed information on the NICE program, please refer to NeXTanswers document 1903_Compatible_Systems_Tested_With_NEXTSTEP.rtf

Note:	NeXT accepts no support responsibilities or liability whatsoever for any system authorized to use the "NEXTSTEP Compatible" designation, nor does NeXT represent that their test procedures or training--even if followed exactly by the 3rd party performing the test work--are in any way complete or exhaustive. Known or unknown errors may be present in configurations which are designated as "NEXTSTEP Compatible" which could adversely affect the operation of these systems. Support for compatible systems may be provided by the PC vendor or System integrator.

Special installation instructions:
You will need the EIDE/ATAPI driver, 
1838_EIDE_Driver.pkg.compressed
available from NeXTanswers or NeXT support

You will need the Generic S3 driver, 
1736_S3_Generic_Display_Driver.pkg.compressed
available from NeXTanswers or NeXT support, if using the Diamond Stealth video card.

Driver settings:
Use Configure.app to load and configure the following drivers:
Display 
	DiamondStealthDisplayDriver
	or
	S3 Generic Display Driver
Network 
	DECchip21040NetworkDriver
SCSI
	none
Audio
	System Beep
Pointing Device
	PS2Mouse
Other
	SerialPorts
	Floppy Disk
	PS2Keyboard
	PCIBus
	EISABus
	EIDE/ATAPI Controller

Known Problems
1. Cannot startup in Graphics mode. Set Configure.app, Expert..., Bootup Graphics to "No" to force bootup in verbose mode. 

2. Sometimes front-panel soft power-off does not work (in this case, use rear panel hard power-off).

3. Install ATAPI CD-ROM drive as Slave to Harddisk on primary IDE channel. Do not install as sole Master on secondary IDE as suggested in NextAnswers #1838.
