INTEL CUSTOMER SUPPORT DATABASE
───────────────────────────────
This catalog lists all our currently available information organized by
product line. Each document title is followed by a four digit DOCUMENT
NUMBER used to order that information. Most documents are from 1 to 4 pages
long, though som are longer.
FaxBack documents are grouped under Troubleshooting, Installation
Instructions, Hardware Compatibility, Software Compatibility, and Technical
Information sections. Each section list the available documents in
alphabetical order.
To access these documents from the BBS is very simple. As you are reading
through the directory (this document), you can do one of two things.
(1) You can wait until you come to the end of the directory, and you will
see "Type Selection or L for list, <CR> to exit:", where you can type in the
four digit code corresponding to the article you wish to read.
(2) Or, when you see the description of an article of interest, you can hit
the "S" key, which will immediately prompt you as shown in step (1) above,
where you can enter the document number you wish to read.
If you wish to retain this information, you may want to turn on a print
spooler, prior to starting the reading of the document, or you may want to
capture the incoming information in a buffer to be stored to your disk
drive. Consult your communications software manual for information about
how to do that.
PROBLEM HOTLIST
Here are the most common Intel Math CoProcessor questions and the order
numbers for the FaxBack documents that help solve these problems.
■ 386 XENIX/UNIX LOCKS UP
If you're running 386-based XENIX/UNIX in a computer containing an
387DX chip and your computer is locking up, order document 3054.
■ WHICH MATH COPROCESSOR DO I NEED?
If you need to know which Intel Math CoProcessor is recommended for
your computer order documents 3020 or 3022 (Intel Math CoProcessor
Compatibility List: A-IBM, and I-Z respectively).
■ TECH NOTES
If you have questions about how math coprocessors work or the types of
programs which benefit from them, order documents 3000 or 3002.
