    TITLE:  Boca ACI Modem with 16 bit Legacy Card

    ISSUE

       After installation of any 16-bit Legacy card (non Plug-and-Play)
       into an Advantage 93xx system, the card may cause a conflict with
       the Boca ACI modem. The conflict is not exhibited with the
       installation of a Plug-and-Play (PnP) card.

       This issue may affect the following systems: 503079, 503080,
       503082, 503083, and 503087.

    BACKGROUND

       The system may identify the Boca ACI modem (Part Number
       234513-003) in Device Manager with the description 'Boca 33.6
       Kbps V.34 FDVSP'. When the system exhibits the conflict, the
       operating system (OS) will display a yellow exclamation mark next
       to the modem. In addition, the OS may display an Error Code 9
       under the General tab, Device Status.  Also, the Resource tab may
       be missing.

    ACTION

       The user must install the Legacy card into an ISA slot between
       the PCI slots and the modem. If there is not an open ISA slot
       between the modem and the PCI slots, the user must relocate the
       modem to an ISA slot further from the PCI slots.  The user may
       now install the Legacy card into the newly available ISA slot
       between the modem and the PCI slots.

       After following the instructions stated above, the system will no
       longer report a conflict.
