The '''Macintosh LC 630 DOS Compatible''' is a [[Macintosh LC 630]] fitted with a DOS-compatibility card (a 486 processor on a card, sharing the Mac's drives and display). The Macintosh side is electrically identical to the standard LC 630, so the '''[[Macintosh LC 630 Troubleshooting]]''' page applies in full for the Mac hardware.<ref name="lc630">Apple Service Source and Low End Mac, LC 630 / Quadra 630 family. Source for the LC 630 DOS Compatible configuration.</ref>

== DOS-card specific notes ==
 
* If the Mac side works but DOS will not start, check the DOS card is seated in its slot, that its RAM SIMM is fitted, and that the shared IDE/drive resources are configured. A faulty or unseated DOS card should be removed to confirm the Mac boots normally on its own.
* Switching between the Mac and PC sides is done in software (or a keyboard hot-key); a machine that appears "stuck" may simply be showing the other side's output.
 
== Common faults (shared with the LC 630) ==
 
As with the LC 630, check the '''PRAM battery''' for leakage and corrosion, '''recap''' where needed, and confirm the power-supply rails. Full detail is on '''[[Macintosh LC 630 Troubleshooting]]'''.
