3.0COMPATIBILITY
The next two sections on AM-137 hardware and software compatibility are important
and should be carefully read before proceeding with your installation.
3.1Software Compatibility
To be AM-137 board compatible, your AMOS operating system can be no earlier than
AMOS PR8/94 1.4C or AMOS PR8/94 2.2C. Also, for all AMOS operating systems prior
to PR2/95 (i.e., PR8/94 or PR11/94 AMOS operating systems), you will need to
download some additional AM-137 support files.
The additional support software can be downloaded from AMTEC+ or it can be ordered
separately from Alpha Micro. Part number PSB-04057-44 (Super I/O PSK 2.2C)
contains the AM-137 support and Super I/O software for AMOS 2.2C; Part number
PSB-04047-44 (Eagle I/O PSK 1.4C) contains the AM-137 support software for AMOS
1.4C.
3.2Hardware Compatibility
The following components are not compatible with your AM-137 upgrade:
Your old CPU board and real panel I/O adapter plate
Memory SIMM or SIMMs from your old CPU board
Your old CPU board’s optional math coprocessor
AM-121 VPC (Virtual Personal Computer)
AM-214 floppy controller
If you have multiple AM-314 boards, only one AM-314 can be used in your
new configuration.
All other equipment (i.e., peripherals, power supply, cables, etc.) are compatible with
your upgraded configuration.
