    TITLE:  Bravo MS 6233, 6266, 6300, AGP Adapter

    ISSUE

       The Bravo MS 6233, 6266, and 6300 systems display several memory
       and I/O conflicts while accessing the System Resources (Display
       Adapters, Device Manager, System Properties in Control Panel) for
       the AGP ATI 3DRage Pro Adapter. The system also displays these
       conflicts when the system uses other AGP manufacturers's adapter,
       such as Matrox. These conflicts exist when the user runs Windows
       95 on a system with any PCI to PCI bridge.

       This issue affects the following systems (if an AGP Adapter is
       added): 503368-101, 503368-201, 503370-101, 503502-101, and
       503502-201.

    BACKGROUND

       The ATI AGP video adapter and the onboard PCI share some of the
       resources. This sharing causes the memory and I/O conflict
       message. This conflict message also occurs with other AGP
       adapters.

    ACTION

       The system is operating as designed. The operation of the AGP is
       normal and will cause no problems. Please ignore the conflict
       notifications.

    NOTES

       Current system SKUs do not include the AGP video adapter. AST
       will offer the AGP adapter as an option kit in the future.

       None of the Windows 95 versions support AGP. The conflict error
       messages should be resolved with the release of Windows 98.
