    TITLE:  Manhattan P/V Windows NT 3.50/3.51 Hang

    ISSUE

       The Manhattan P/V Windows NT v3.50/3.51 Setup Disk 1 hangs during
       install, when attempting to detect installed hardware using
       NTDETECT (dual processors only).

       This issue affects dual processor Manhattan P and V systems ONLY.

    BACKGROUND

       This problem is caused by a coupling of erratas on both the
       Neptune EISA System Component (ESC) IC on the systemboard, and
       the Pentium CPUs on the processor board, in conjunction with BIOS
       v1.10.

    ACTION

       Update the Manhattan P/V system BIOS to v1.14 (part number
       905547-312) or higher. File 05547312.EXE is available from one of
       AST's On-Line! sevices as follows:

       the processor board in your system is at the correct revision
       level to support dual processors.
