    	PREMMIA LX WITH IBM TOKEN RING AND MADGE TOKEN RING ADAPTERS

    PROBLEM:        The IBM 16/4, IBM 16/4 ISA-16, and Madge Straight Blue 16/4
    		Token Ring Adapters fail to work with the Premmia LX.  All four
    		adapters fail diagnostics and will not connect to the network.
    		A "Reported error 11E" or "Initialize failed" may occur.

    CAUSE:          The Advanced CMOS setup and the switch bank on the adapters may
    		not be configured properly.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:       AST
    		PART NUMBER     DESCRIPTION
    		501288-XXX      PRM LX P60/3 8 MB 115V
    				IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter 16 bit
    				IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter 8 bit
    				IBM 16/4 ISA-16 Token Ring Adapter
    				Madge Straight Blue 16/4 Token Ring Adapter

    SOLUTION 1:     1. Set the "SET DISABLE SHADOW MEMORY BASE" in the Advanced
    		   CMOS Setup option to the same memory address as the above
    		   Token Ring adapters.  For example "CC000".

    		2. Recommend 64KB on the shadow memory size.
