    AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1709          05/06/97

    TITLE:  Adventure! Suspends with Mouse Activity

    ISSUE

       When the user enables the Power Management features in System
       Setup, the Advantage! Adventure system may place itself in a
       suspended state, if an application running relies mainly on mouse
       or joystick input.

       This issue affects the following systems: 503279, 503280, 503292,
       503294, 503298, and 503300.

    BACKGROUND

       N/A

    ACTION

       For issues related to the mouse, please download file
       05603032.EXE from any of AST's On-Line! services, and install
       system BIOS version 2.5 (p/n 905603-032) or later.

    NOTES

       If you are running an application that primarily uses a mouse or
       joystick, then you should disable the Power Management features
       in Setup.  The system BIOS does not look at mouse or joystick
       port activity. The unit is functioning as designed.
