                            SOFTWARE

     The  following is just a partial list of software  programs,
networking  packages,  and operating systems which ARE compatible
with the Perstor 8 bit controllers: 

Double DOS           Wordstar              First Publisher
Concurrent DOS       Word Perfect          Crosstalk
Norton Utilities     Microsoft Word        10 Net
Mace Utilities       Deskview              PC Slave
Fastback             RBase                 Novell Netware 86
Xtree                Fastcopy              3COM
SNAP                 V-Opt                 Gateway 
V-Cache              Armour Systems        ARCnet 
Copy II PC           Lotus 1-2-3           Direct Access
PKXARC               Harvard Graphics      DBASE3 and DBASE3 Plus
 
 
     At present,  however, there are a few software packages that
pose some problems when used with the Perstor 8 bit  controllers. 
The  following  are  details and possible remedies  for  software
incompatibilities we have encountered:

1.  MS-DOS has a partition bug.  You should use PC-DOS for parti-
    tioning and then continue with MS-DOS 3.2

2.  MS-DOS  3.31  allows you to make the entire  drive  bootable.
    However  it  enlarges the sector size,  so the software  that
    checks the file allocation table will fail.

3.  Some  software  programs that access the standard  ports  1F0
    through 1F7 directly, programs that check the C-MOS for drive
    types,  and programs which do not go through a BIOS call  are
    not  compatible with the PS180 8 bit  Controller.  Generally,
    however,  these software packages do have the ability to work
    if a software switch is used.

4.  With PC-MOS you must specify in the CONFIG.SYS file the exact
    area of memory available.  You must make sure that the state
    ment does not interfere with any other addressed cards.

5.  The  Sperry IT (AT compatible) with the PS180-8AT  Controller
    installed  will  not format floppy diskettes with the  Sperry
    software.   We  suggest PC TOOLS or other software to  format
    floppy diskettes.

6.  The  PS2WP  program  on the Perstor diskette will  clear  all
    partitions from the drive.   It is a good idea to use this on
    all drives before low-level formatting (PS2FMT).

7.  If you are using PC-DOS 3.3,  we recommend that you scan  the
    drive for defects two times. 

8.  Spinwrite software by Gibson Research works with the XT9-1.05
    or AT9-1.07 BIOS only.

9.  If  you are using the Amiga 2000 operating system,  you  will
    need to install an Amiga 2088 Bridgeboard for the PS180 8 bit
    Controller  to  work.   The PS180 should be installed on  the
    "IBM  compatible"  side  of  the  Bridgeboard.    Follow  the
    instructions in both the Perstor Owner's Manual and the Amiga
    2088 Bridgeboard manual.

     In  addition,   the  following  software  programs  are  NOT
compatible  with the Perstor 8 bit controllers at this  time  but
are under evaluation:

    Unix Operating System           Novell Netware 286
    Xenix Operating System          Concurrent DOS version 1
    Pick Operating System           OS/2
