Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Kingston MCMaster. This guide will take you through the basic steps of physically installing MCMaster into your PS/2 system and configuring the system. For most installations, this is all you need to do. Even battle-hardened PS/2 veterans should at least read over the installation directions before proceeding.

The Appendices contain more detailed information, along with troubleshooting suggestions in case you run into problems. They also contain some background technical information, if you're just plain curious.

If any of these circumstances apply to you:

Windows 3.0 or 3.1 previously installed in a 286-based PS/2 system; Windows 3.0 or 3.1 and a busmaster SCSI disk controller;

OS/2 1.2 or 1.3 and a busmaster SCSI disk controller; OS/2 2.0;

OS/2 2.1,

Any third-party memory adapter; IBM's 386 Enhanced Memory Adapter; QEMM386 memory manager;

IBM's AIX operating system

Please read the appropriate sections in the Appendices which you will find in the back of this Installation Guide.
