[net.micro] 8087 patch for AT&T PC6300

pc6300@houxt.UUCP (P.CABCD) (04/29/85)

          NOTE: To 8087-2 users working with Microsoft Compilers

          An incompatibility  with the  non-maskable interrupt handler will
          cause the machine to hang when running programs  that detect 8087
          exceptions,  e.g. Divide  by  Zero,  Square  Root  of  a negative
          number.  Entering the following code in the Debugger  will remedy
          the problem.   You will be notified of a more permanent fix, when
          available, if you return the card below.

               Enter the following commands:

                    DEBUG <CR>
                    Oa0,80 <CR>
                    Q <CR>

               This command must be re-entered  each  time  the  PC 6300 is
               booted, or  when the  reset button  has been pushed.  A soft
               re-boot, CNTL-ALT-DEL,  will NOT  require the  command to be
               re-entered.

                    <CR> means to press the RETURN key.

          The  DEBUG  program  may  be  found  on  the  MS-DOS Supplemental
          Programs Diskette supplied with the MS-DOS Users Guide.
