Maybe the stock system setup is 100% compatible (I'm not saying this
but I can't think of any software that I have ever heard of that 
doesn't work on the stock AT&T PC 6300).  But, just try to add an
EGA card!  I know this is a pain.  There are certain problems with the
way the EGA memory is handled, etc.  In this respect, it is not a 100%
compatible.
