[comp.sys.ibm.pc] NEC MultiSpeed compatibility

todd@uhccux.UUCP (02/16/87)

Hi, I got my NEC MultiSpeed lap portable a few weeks ago and want to compare
compatibility notes with other MultiSpeed owners.

Here is my list of programs tested so far on the MultiSpeed.

Works ok
--------
ARC
Arity Prolog Interpreter
Kermit 2.29
Mouse Systems Mouse programs
muLISP
Norton Utilities
PC/InterComm
RightWriter
StarFlight
STSC APL*PLUS/PC
VP Planner
WordPerfect 4.2

The utilities I've written in Microsoft C 4.0 (all are well behaved programs)
also work just fine.


Does not work on NEC
--------------------
Microsoft Word 3.0
Microsoft Windows
	The problem with the Microsoft products seems to lie in their
	Mouse driver
Norton Commander

Please let me know if you have tested other products on your Multispeed

thanks...todd

Try starting this program in the slow speed (4.77 Mhz).
I found that this won't run on my xt clone if it's
started at the fast speed.  After I start the program
I can switch to the "turbo" mode.
