                            ASCENTIA 810N MSD AND FLOPPY DRIVE

                 This is an informational bulletin.

                 When the removable floppy drive is removed from the Ascentia 810N
                 and the Microsoft MSD program is run, the system reports that two
                 floppy drives are present.

                 This is a limitation of the MSD software.  The Ascentia 810N is
                 operating as designed.
