SUMMARY
=======

The Orange 386 is a Nubus card that allows Apple Macintosh you to run MS-DOS and
Windows-based applications on a second "computer" inside the Macintosh. This
board allows the Macintosh to emulate an IBM-compatible computer. After you
install this board, you can install Microsoft MS-DOS and then Microsoft
Windows.

NOTE: Microsoft has not tested the Orange 386, and therefore cannot guarantee its
results.


MORE INFORMATION
================

To install Windows on a Macintosh, you may need to add additional memory. When
the Macintosh's monitor is used, a CGA video driver must be used; however, most
Macintosh users can install a VGA board and attach a VGA monitor.

If you encounter problems running Microsoft Windows on a Macintosh with an Orange
386, please contact Orange Micro, Inc.
