                           POWER EXEC SETUP FIELD CHANGES

    Beginning with the Power Exec BIOS version 2.0, the System Setup fields used
    to enter password input and verification no longer display a moving cursor or
    asterisk while typing.

    AST, in compliance with an evolving international security implementation
    specification has adopted this practice.
