MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT (tm) HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY LIST
based on the July release of the Win32 (tm) Preliminary SDK for Windows NT


The Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) operating system is designed to
support a broad range of hardware.  This is a preliminary list 
of hardware on which hardware manufacturers and/or Microsoft 
have run the release of Windows NT included in the July release 
of the Win32 (TM) Preliminary SDK for Windows NT.  It is a subset 
of the hardware we expect to support in the upcoming releases of 
the Win32 SDK and in the initial commercial release of Windows NT.

Please note that we have not tested every machine and/or device in
all possible configurations and that this list is for informational 
purpose only. Microsoft has not attempted to reproduce results 
reported by hardware manufacturers.  Note also that the omission of 
a particular system does not necessarily indicate that it may be 
incompatible with Windows NT;  it could indicate that Microsoft has 
not yet performed testing on it.  Microsoft does not endorse or 
recommend any particular system in the list

Microsoft makes no warranties express or implied in this document.
