-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) is a series of tests run from a shell
within Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1. The tests are run in
standard mode only for 80286-based systems, and in both standard and 386
enhanced mode for 80386- or 80486-based systems. The tests evaluate such things
as:

- Memory-resident programs

- Screen display

- Interpretation of keystrokes and mouse actions

- Performance of selected tasks within Windows File Manager and Windows Print
  Manager

The HCT includes additional tests for computers with math coprocessors and
multimedia capabilities.

If the results of the HCT show that the system has satisfactorily passed
compatibility requirements, the system may be added to the Windows HCL and can
display the Windows Compatible logo.

The following computers, displays, printers, networks, pointing devices, and
keyboards have been certified for use with Microsoft Windows version 3.1. This
list was current at the time it was published (April 1992). Additional systems
may have been certified subsequent to publication and may not be listed below.
