    	      Bravo/Premmia, Microsoft MSD 2.01 and Pentium Systems

    PROBLEM

    Microsoft's MSD.EXE program may identify a Pentium processor as a 486DX in
    Bravo and Premmia systems.

    CAUSE

    Version 2.01 of  MSD.EXE is unable to correctly identify the Pentium
    Processor.

    SOLUTION

    Microsoft's MSD version 2.11 resolves the issue.  To correct the problem,
    rename file MSDV211.AST located in the DOS and Windows sub-directories to
    MSD.EXE.  This version identifies Pentium Processor.
    For further information please reference Technical Bulletin 1207.
