                   PREMIUM 386SX-16 WITH PARADISE 8514/A PLUS CARD

    When installing a Paradise 8514/A video card in a Premium 386SX-16 system,
    certain errors may be experienced.  These errors are:

        - When the Premium 386SX-16 computer is "powered on", the system will go
          through post test and, at the memory count, the monitor will go blank
          and the system will give one long beep.

        - The second error will occur while running the WDAI.EXE program.  This
          program initializes the video adapter.  However, during the
          initialization of the video card, WDAI.EXE does not recognize that the
          Paradise 8514/A video card is installed in the Premium 386SX-16
          computer system.

    Customers should verify what Premium 386SX-16 processor board is in the
    system by removing the cover.  If the Premium 386SX-16 processor board has
    AST's part number 202337-001, it needs to be replaced with AST's part number
    202380-001.  Customers who are experiencing the above problem should contact
    an AST Authorized Service Center for replacement.
