XFORMER/286 COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
AST EPM Product Marketing has considered all aspects of the following
compatibility issues regarding the Xformer/286 (part number 202204-XXX).
They have determined that AST will not attempt to establish the cause of the
incompatibilities.
These issues are:
- A conflict exists between the AST Rampage/286 card and an SMC Arcnet
PC250 card when the two are installed together in the Xformer/286. The
system intermittently re-boots when a DOS command is entered from the
keyboard. (PR#B33016)
- The Xformer/286 intermittently loses setup information stored in CMOS.
(PR#B33020)
- After a "warm boot" the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys (on an enhanced
keyboard) perform the function of changing system speed. This function
is normally performed by using the <CTRL>-<ALT> key sequence in
conjunction with either the <UP> or <DOWN> keys. (PR#B33028)
