    TITLE:  Ascentia M Full Docking Station

    ISSUE

       When docking the Ascentia M to a full docking station, Windows 95
       does not generate and save the "Dock 1" hardware profile.

       This issue applies to all Ascentia M systems.

    BACKGROUND

       BIOS version 4.05.07P or earlier does not provide a docking ID
       string which Windows 95 uses to generate and save the docking
       hardware profile.

    ACTION

       If the system BIOS is 4.05.07P or earlier, download file
       05621312.EXE, Ascentia M BIOS 4.05.09p, and flash the system.

       For further details, see Software Bulletin 0453.
