Explanation of column titles:

Hardware vendor
The original hardware vendor. In case another vendor offers binary compatible machines which can be run with the OS of the original hardware vendor, it is likely that HELIOS products can also be used on that machines. However, a test should be conducted in any case.

(UNIX) OS
Many hardware vendors offer different major versions of their OS, e.g. Solaris 2. In that case, supported OS versions for different major OS versions are listed.

arch
The architecture string under which HELIOS products are listed for this hardware.

Products as of CD018 or newer (4th generation)
HELIOS 4th generation products were first released on CD018. The listed OS in this column are compatible with HELIOS 4th generation products.

Comments
Any comments related to EtherShare/PCShare support for a specific OS version or platform.

Deprecated platforms:

Though the following platforms are still supported by CD022, the support is not continued in future HELIOS software versions. We recommend to switch to one of the platforms stated above.
