		 BRAVO MS P/90, MS-T, AND PREMMIA MX AND NCR PCI SCSI HBA


PROBLEM
Bravo MS P/90,  MS-T, and Premmia MX will not boot from, or recognize the NCR 
PCI SCSI HBA.

CAUSE
The NCR 810 requires NCR BIOS to be concatenated with the system BIOS.  
The NCR BIOS has been incorporated into the Premmia GX, and Manhattan G, P and 
V systems.  In these systems, the 810 can be used on the motherboard or the 
8100S card can be added. 

SYSTEMS AFFECTED
AST PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION

501534-301 BRAVO MS P/90

SOLUTION
To use the 810 in other systems, use the NCR 8150S PCI SCSI adapter board, or 
another PCI SCSI with a ROM BIOS.  The 8100S contains only the 810 chip and 
terminators, while the 8150S contains 810, terminators and BIOS ROM.  
For further information call NCR at (719) 596-5795.
