Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS The following features and licensed programs are added to the list of supported products on the 7552 Industrial Computer: o 7552 0-16Mb Extended Memory Adapter (feature number 6345) announced. o IBM PC Network Adapter II -- Frequency 2 (feature number 5645) added to list of supported 7552 features o IBM PC Network Adapter II -- Frequency 3 (feature number 5646) added to list of supported 7552 features o IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) Version 4.0 support announced o IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1 support announced o IBM Operating System/2 Extended Edition Version 1.0 support announced o IBM Operating System/2 Extended Edition Version 1.1 support announced DESCRIPTION IBM 7552 0-16MB EXTENDED MEMORY ADAPTER (#6345): The IBM 7552 0-16Mb Extended Memory Adapter is intended to extend the memory capacity of the IBM 7552 Industrial Computer from 2Mb to 16Mb in order to provide the extended memory required by the IBM Operating System/2. The 7552 0-16Mb Extended Memory Adapter is a full-length memory expansion option with Error Checking and Correction capability (standard with 0Mb of memory installed). Up to ten (two of which are required for the Error Checking and Correction feature) 2Mb Memory Module Kits -- 85ns (#5213) can be added to the card to provide up to 16Mb of memory. No switch setting is required. IBM 2MB MEMORY MODULE KIT -- 85NS (#5213) (6450604): The 2Mb Memory Module Kit -- 85ns provides 2Mb of 85 nanosecond memory. For further information, refer to Product Announcement 188-079, dated June 2, 1988. IBM PC NETWORK ADAPTER II -- FREQUENCY 2 (#5645) AND FREQUENCY 3 (#5646): The IBM PC Network Adapter II -- Frequency 2 (#5645) and the IBM PC Network Adapter II -- Frequency 3 (#5646) are two new IBM Personal Computer Network adapters that provide additional RF channels for connecting the IBM 7552 Industrial Computers to the broadband IBM PC Network. The broadband channels used by the Frequency 2 adapter are 2' and O. The Frequency 3 adapter uses channels 3' and P. The use of these channels provides industry standard offsets, coexistence with MAP, mid-split and high-split format compatibility, as well as increased network capacity, security, flexibility and performance. These adapters are designed for the large broadband IBM Personal Computer Networks of the industrial, educational, research, financial and governmental environments. Each adapter features a two-megabit-per-second transmission speed with a CSMA/D access protocol and supports the IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) protocols via the IBM LAN Support program (83X7873). To take advantage of the IEEE 802.2 protocol, the IBM LAN Support program must be installed on all workstations on the network. The selected protocol and NETBIOS interface support are loaded into 7552 RAM to execute on the system processor. The IBM 5178 Personal Computer Network Translator Unit is not compatible with the frequencies used by the IBM Personal Computer Network Adapter II-Frequency 2 and the IBM Personal Computer Network Adapter II-Frequency 3. A vendor translator is required. For further information, refer to Product Announcement 187-220, dated November 3, 1987. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM (DOS) 4.00 SUPPORT: DOS Version 4.00 provides significant new capability that enhances DOS as the single-tasking operating system of choice for the IBM Industrial Computer family. It is the primary operating system for 8086/8088 microprocessors and serves as an interim entry level operating system solution for 80286/80386 systems. A new DOS 4.00 user shell provides an easy-to-use way to interact with the system. Large fixed disk support and integrated expanded memory support are included in DOS Version 4.00. The documentation library is redesigned for ease-of-use and reference. A new Command Reference provides detailed command descriptions and is available separately.
