it's a common problem
with older hardware that connected to the system bus- I have several
older GPIB cards that won't run in anything later than a 286 and an
EPROM burner card that won't operate in anything later than a genuine
XT.
The Cordata/Corona Data Systems laser printer interface card
is for PC/XT. Attempting to install the software on 286 or
above gives a message telling you not to, and mentioning a
286 version of the board that may or may not have ever existed.
Is the hardware actually incompatible?
Or is it a bogus test by the software?
