               POWER STATION FLOPPY DISK AND NON-DOS OPERATING SYSTEMS

    When the Power Exec is connected to the Power Station and running under
    certain non-DOS operating systems, the second drive option will not function.

    The Power Station uses secondary  I/O addresses for the floppy controller
    that supports the second floppy drive.  Non-DOS operating systems such as,
    IBM OS/2.1 and SCO ODT r2.0.0 do not have support for secondary I/O addresses
    for the floppy controller and will not support the Power Exec's second floppy
    drive option
