                             BRAVO 386SX/DEC DEPCA CARD

    Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Depca card will not boot locally or
    perform a remote boot when installed in an AST Bravo 386SX.  The AST Bravo
    386SX passes post test.  The Depca card will pass its self test.  The system
    will lock up after all drives are initialized.

    This problem has been resolved by DEC in a new release of the Depca board
    hardware revision H3 and firmware version D1.  Customers reporting this issue
    should be referred to contact DEC's Product Support.
