If you are installing another operating system, such as MS OS/2 or UNIX, see the manual that comes with that system for instructions.

The instructions in this manual assume that you are using MS-DOS with your computer-either version 3.3 or 4.01. If you install another operating system, see the manual that came with it for instructions on how the operating system works with your computer.
