Any operating system that accesses hardware directly fails on the DOS Compatibility Card. Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, OS/2, and OS/2 Warp fall into this category. OS/2, OS/2 Warp, and Windows NT will not run on the DOS Compatibility Card.
However Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will run in a limited fashion on the DOS Compatibility Card. You can use any function of this application that does not require direct hardware access (The Tech Info Library Article "DOS Compatibility Card: Using Windows for Workgroups 3.11" Provides installation instructions).
