    		 BRAVO MS P/90, MS-T, AND PREMMIA MX AND NCR PCI SCSI HBA

    PROBLEM
    Bravo MS P/90,  MS-T, and Premmia MX will not boot from, or recognize the NCR
    PCI SCSI HBA.

    CAUSE
    The NCR 810 requires NCR BIOS to be concatenated with the system BIOS.
    The NCR BIOS has been incorporated into the Premmia GX, and Manhattan G, P and
    V systems.  In these systems, the 810 can be used on the motherboard or the
    8100S card can be added.

    SYSTEMS AFFECTED
    AST PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION

    501534-301 BRAVO MS P/90

    SOLUTION
    To use the 810 in other systems, use the NCR 8150S PCI SCSI adapter board, or
    another PCI SCSI with a ROM BIOS.  The 8100S contains only the 810 chip and
    terminators, while the 8150S contains 810, terminators and BIOS ROM.
