                "UNKNOWN CARD" MESSAGE ADDED WITH ICU ON BRAVO MS

    PROBLEM:     After updating AST BIOS to V2.01, ISA Configuration Utility
                 (ICU) may add "Unknown Card" under System Resource Usage
                 every time the system is rebooted. No resources are used.

    CAUSE:       ICU V1.02 is not compatible with BIOS V2.01 or higher.

    SOLUTION:    Update ICU to V1.03 or higher.
