| Motherboard Chip Set and ISA Slots |
If a Melco Network PCB is to be used
for communicating to Melco EMC equipment, at least 1 ISA slot is
needed, and the motherboard MUST have an Intel Chip Set. |
| Operating System |
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP |
** No Preference, or User Preference
*** Optional Scanner should be capable of 300DPI, Color, 8.5" x
11" (or larger), flatbed recommended. It is not recommended to use
scanners that connect to the printer port, as they may interfere with dongle
connections. Scanners that utilize a USB connection are recommended over
SCSI or Parallel.
Incompatible Hardware
 | If operating a ISA Melco Network PCB ("StarLan Connection") the
motherboard must have an Intel Chip© set, the VIA© chip sets do not work
with the ISA Melco Network or StarLan PCB.
| Trident Accelerator video card
| Scanmaker E3 and C6 scanners by Microtek
| If older EMC Melco Embroidery Machines need to be connected to the
computer, the motherboard of the computer must use an Intel Chip Set in
order for a Melco Network PCB to work correctly. It has been found the VIA
chip set will not support a Melco Network PCB correctly. |

In order to use Melco format on 3.5", diskettes, you need a floppy
disk controller capable of reading and writing to Single Density disks. If the
controller utilizes a Goldstar chip set, it normally meets this requirement.
You may read/write Melco Condensed and Expanded format on DOS formatted disks
without a special controller card.
Computer hardware and operating system must be Year 2000 compliant.
