"AMD's K6-2, Windows 95 incompatibility confirmed

Posted at 10:55 AM PT, Nov 19, 1998
An incompatibility between Windows 95 and Advanced Micro Devices K6-2
processors running at 350-MHz or faster can keep systems from booting, AMD
officials confirmed on Thursday.

According to a notice posted on AMD's Web site, starting Windows 95 OSR2,
OSR2.1, or OSR2.5 on a computer with an AMD K6-2 processor running at
350-MHz or faster may result in one of three error messages.

Device IOS failed to initialize.
... Windows Protection Error.
... You must reboot your computer.
... Windows Protection Error.
... You must reboot your computer.

"This problem is very intermittent at 350-MHz, but occurs more often at
higher speeds," according to the notice."

Not good news, IMHO.

Make It So,
Yousef
