The information in this article applies to:

Excel for the Macintosh, versions 3.0 and 4.0

Summary:

A Macintosh Plus or SE running a Dove Marathon 030 accelerator board will not function correctly with Excel 3.0 or 4.0 and may either crash or have unreadable menus.

The PAL chip on the Dove board needs to be replaced for Excel to work correctly. Dove will replace the PAL chip at no charge; however, the board must be returned to Dove for the chip replacement.

The product support number for Dove is (800) 622-7627.
