Last reviewed: November 21, 1994
Article ID: Q72006

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

The AST Premium 286 is noted with an asterisk in the "Windows Version 3.0 Hardware Compatibility List," indicating that it needs special handling during the installation process. This computer does not need special handling; the "MS-DOS and PC-DOS machines" entry should be chosen.

When the "All 80386 and 80486 based AST machines" entry is chosen, an EMMExclude statement is added to the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. This statement is unnecessary for 80286 machines.
