AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1378          7-19-96 



TITLE: Manh P/V EISACU, NCR PCI SCSI Enabled


SUMMARY

   After running the EISA Configuration Utility (EISACU) on the 
   Manhattan P and V, the embedded PCI SCSI is re-enabled.

   This issue applies to the following systems: 501500, 501502, and 
   501830.


ISSUE

   When the embedded PCI SCSI is disabled through EISACU 
   v3.04/REL 1.04, every time EISACU is run, the embedded PCI SCSI
   is re-enabled.  No message appears to warn the user that the 
   embedded SCSI has been re-enabled.


BACKGROUND

   N/A


ACTION

   EISA Configuration Utility v3.09/R1.09 (AST part number 911371-040) 
   resolves the problem.  The NCR on-board controller will remain 
   disabled when that option is saved.
