    AST RESEARCH, INC.         TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0824               04-14-93

                               PREMIUM SE AND CIPRICO

    PROBLEM:       The Ciprico Rimfire 5600 EISA SCSI Drive Adapter locks the
                   system up after the Ciprico ROM information is shown.  The
                   system will report that it has found the adapter at the ROM
                   address.  The system is locked at this point.  The part number
                   of the Ciprico adapter is 82031000-06.

    CAUSE:         The problem is attributed to an incompatibility with the
                   Ciprico adapter part number 82031000-06 and the Premium SE
                   system.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:      Premium SE system board (part number 202472-001).

    SOLUTION:      Customers should contact their Ciprico reseller and update the
                   Ciprico Rimfire 5600 adapter to a adapter with a part number
                   of 82031000-07.
