    TITLE:  Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM, Bravo Systems

    ISSUE

       When adding a Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive to a Bravo system, the
       CD-ROM will not function properly with Windows 95 on the
       Secondary IDE Interface.

       AST does not ship the Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive. This drive is
       not qualified for use on any of these systems.

       This issue affects the following systems: 501951, 501952, 501954,
       501955, 501956, 501972, and 503043.

    BACKGROUND

       N/A

    ACTION

       The Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive will function properly if
       installed as a slave drive on the Primary IDE Interface.

       To resolve the issue, follow the directions included with the
       Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM to set the jumper on the drive to SLAVE.
       Set the hard drive jumper(s) to MASTER. Both devices must be
       connected to the Primary IDE Interface.

       To configure the drives, follow the steps below:

       1. Enter System Setup.

       2. Set the MASTER and SLAVE drives under the Primary IDE
          Interface to AUTO.
