AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1758          09/16/97 
 
 
 
TITLE:  Bravo MS 6233, 6266, 6300, AGP Adapter
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   The Bravo MS 6233, 6266, and 6300 systems display several memory 
   and I/O conflicts while accessing the System Resources (Display 
   Adapters, Device Manager, System Properties in Control Panel) for 
   the AGP ATI 3DRage Pro Adapter. The system also displays these 
   conflicts when the system uses other AGP manufacturers's adapter, 
   such as Matrox. These conflicts exist when the user runs Windows 
   95 on a system with any PCI to PCI bridge.
   
   This issue affects the following systems (if an AGP Adapter is 
   added): 503368-101, 503368-201, 503370-101, 503502-101, and 
   503502-201.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   The ATI AGP video adapter and the onboard PCI share some of the 
   resources. This sharing causes the memory and I/O conflict 
   message. This conflict message also occurs with other AGP 
   adapters.    

 
ACTION 
 
   The system is operating as designed. The operation of the AGP is 
   normal and will cause no problems. Please ignore the conflict 
   notifications.    

 
NOTES 
 
   Current system SKUs do not include the AGP video adapter. AST 
   will offer the AGP adapter as an option kit in the future. 
   
   None of the Windows 95 versions support AGP. The conflict error 
   messages should be resolved with the release of Windows 98.
