                    BRAVO LC2/SYNCHRONOUS REFRESH UTILITY


Production Release 1.00        Available November, 1993

Part Number: 911008-001

This is the first release of the Synchronous Refresh utility for the Bravo
LC2.


    PROBLEM RESOLVED:

    - Resolved refresh problem, where failing cards require Synchronous
      Refresh mode, as opposed to De-Coupled Refresh mode.  BIOS 2.01
      implements the Synchronous Refresh mode by default.  As an alternative,
      this utility will provide the necessary Synchronous Refresh mode
      without replacing the chip.

    ENHANCEMENTS:

    - None.
