4.0COMPATIBILITY
The next two sections on Roadrunner hardware and software compatibility are important
and should be carefully read before proceeding with your installation.
4.1Software Compatibility
In order to be Roadrunner 030 compatible, your AMOS operating system can be no
earlier than AMOS PR5/94 1.4C or AMOS PR5/94 2.2C. The Roadrunner 040 board
has the same operating system requirements as the 030 board; however, for the
PR5/94 AMOS releases, you must also download the Product Support Software Kit
designed to support the Roadrunner 040 board. PR11/94 and later AMOS releases will
include Roadrunner 040 support as part of the main release.
If you are installing an AM-174 Roadrunner 040 board, Appendix D contains some
important programming information related to the use of self-modifying code and the
Roadrunner 040’s large 4KB instruction cache. All Roadrunner 040 users should
carefully read the information in Appendix D before running third party application
programs.
4.2Hardware Compatibility
To be compatible with the Roadrunner hardware, other circuit boards in your computer
need to be at certain minimum revision levels. The following is a list of all boards
compatible with the Roadrunner, along with their minimum acceptable revision levels:
BOARD MINIMUM REVISION COMMENTS

DWB-00177-XX
DWB-00213-00
DWB-00213-01

Revision D15 boards with gold pins are desirable.
Revision A boards are not supported.
A09 boards are acceptable if you are not
using the SASI port.
Note that this information does not supersede existing minimum level requirements for
AM-1000 and AM-1200 functionality. For instance, SCSI support for disk and streaming
tape drives connected to the on-board SASI port require revision level A16, B17, or D24
for the AM-1000 main logic board.
