    DOS COMPATIBILITY

    
       DOS 5.0 or higher is required for the DOS Intel Smart Video Recorder
    
       Installation Program.
    
    
    
       The Intel Smart Video Recorder does NOT use any DOS device drivers or
    
       terminate-and-stay resident software (TSR).  All Intel Smart Video
    
       Recorder Drivers are Windows 3.1 drivers.
    
    
    
       The following table provides a list of DOS versions and their
    
       compatibility with the Intel Smart Video Recorder.
    
    
    
       DOS Version                            Compatibility Status
    
    
    
       MS/PC-DOS 2.x, 3.x and 4.x             Incompatible
    
       MS/PC-DOS 5.0                          Compatible
    
       MS-DOS 6.0                             Compatible
    
       DR-DOS 6.0                             Conditionally Compatible
    
    
    
       MS/PC-DOS 2.x, 3.x and 4.x
    
    
    
            Microsoft (MS) & PC-DOS 2.x, 3.x and 4.x are incompatible with the
    
            Intel Smart Video Recorder.  DOS 5.0 or higher is required by the
    
            DOS Intel Smart Video Recorder Installation Program, all previous
    
            version are incompatible.
    
    
    
       DR-DOS 6.0
    
    
    
            DR-DOS is conditionally compatible with the Intel Smart Video
    
            Recorder.
    
    
    
            DR-DOS 6.0 reports a DOS v3.31 to any DOS application that checks
    
            the DOS version.  The Intel Smart Video Recorder INSTALL.EXE
    
            program checks for the DOS version and requires MS-DOS 5.0 or
    
            higher to install.  Once you are in Windows, however, the Intel
    
            Smart Video Recorder and DR-DOS 6.0 appear to be compatible.
    
    
    
    

    NETWORK SOFTWARE - GENERAL NOTES

    
       The Intel Smart Video Recorder and the Indeo video technology drivers
    
       have shown no problems during compatibility testing to date.
    
    
    
    

    NOVELL NETWARE

    
       Novell makes LAN software which works with several different types of
    
       network hardware.  Novell NetWare is compatible with the Intel Smart
    
       Video Recorder with the following exception:
    
    
    
       The Intel Smart Video Recorder will not work in a machine used as a
    
       dedicated file server.  The Intel Smart Video Recorder must be installed
    
       in a workstation on the network and cannot be shared.  The Intel Smart
    
       Video Recorder can be installed in a non-dedicated file-server (using
    
       machine as both fileserver and workstation). 
    
    
    
       Note:     I/O address or interrupt conflicts between network hardware,
    
       the Intel Smart Video Recorder, and other boards may occur.  For
    
       information on troubleshooting hardware conflicts see document 8062.
    
    
    
    

    OS/2 V 2.0

    
       OS/2 v2.0 is not compatible with the Intel Smart Video Recorder because
    
       it emulates Windows 3.0.  The Windows drivers for the Intel Smart Video
    
       Recorder require Microsoft Windows v3.1 or higher.
    
    
    
    

    OS/2 V 2.1

    
       CUSTOMER REPORT
    
       Customers have reported that OS/2 v2.1 is compatible with the Intel
    
       Smart Video Recorder when the operating system is in the Windows 3.1
    
       emulation mode.
    
    
    
       Intel has not tested this configuration.
