The IBM Local Area Network Support Program (83X7873) (#7873) is a prerequisite for the IBM Token-Ring Network PC Adapter. Applications can be provided by the IBM LAN program. COMPATIBILITY: The Personal System/2 Model 25 LS is compatible with the 8088 based IBM 5150 Personal Computer and Personal Computer XT at the BIOS level and at most hardware interfaces. Most existing personal computer software and non-timing dependent options work in all models. Due to the high level of integration of the Model 25 LS, options such as IBM Personal Computer and Personal Computer XT memory upgrades and graphic adapters are not supported. Specific software supported in the Personal System/2 environment is listed in the Personal System/2 Model 25 Product Announcement 187-148, dated August 4, 1987.
