Platform Restrictions

If Using a 386/DX33 or Higher Platform

These platforms operate with no restrictions.

If Using a Platform Lower Than 386/DX33

Some restrictions may apply when operating at these platforms depending on the
communication driver you use and its associated baud rate.

When operating at 19200 with an Allen-Bradley T47 or T60, a 386SX, or a similar
computer, the use of EMM386 may slightly degrade network communications, and
may degrade the reliability of APS communications to a network node. For
enhanced communications performance on these computers, we recommend you
remove EMM386 from the CONFIG.SYS file.

For restrictions on other drivers, see the table that follows.
