    AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1610          10/16/96

    TITLE:  Advantage! 7000/9000 and Modem

    ISSUE

       If the Intel Taladdin Data/FAX/DSVD modem is removed from Device
       Manager and redetected, Windows 95 will detect a PCI card and
       prompt the user for modem drivers. These drivers are not included
       with the hard disk image and are not available from system
       backup.

       This issue applies to the following systems: 503086 and 503116.

    BACKGROUND

       N/A

    ACTION

       Once this error message appears on the screen, select not to
       install drivers and the modem will proceed with proper
       installation.  The modem will then function.

    NOTES

       Windows 95 is actually trying to install drivers for the PCI
       board and not the modem. Once the user selects not to install
       drivers, the board is bypassed and Windows 95 installs the
       correct drivers for the modem.  This issue is only present with
       the Intel Taladdin modem.
