		The volume markers all list the build date as 07/15/91.
		The markers also identify the kit as NWF-671C. The NWU prefix on the tape label, used above, is specific to
		the US release. Each tape is still marked with their original NWF volume names in the data.

		<notes>The floppies can boot on both CISC and RISC systems due to some bootloader magic, but the MO image is only for the first wave of RISC NEWS machines (NWS-3000 series)</notes>
		<sharedfeat name="compatibility" value="NWS3000" />
		<!--
		The installation floppy and MO disk work, but the format disk hangs after printing a few messages on RISC systems.
		Therefore, use of this kit requires use of a pre-formatted hard disk image for now.
		The disk image loads on the CISC NEWS driver, so it is most likely an emulation issue, not a disk image issue.
