                   PREMIUM SE 3COM EISA CONFIGURATION FILE


Production Release None        Available January, 1994

Part Number:   None

    PROBLEMS RESOLVED:

    - When the 3COM Tokenlink adapter is installed in the SE, the following
      message will appear on the screen:

        "16.10 the computer has a memory problem, run the EISA configuration
        utility to check the memory configuration."

    - The problem is in the 3COM EISA configuration file (!TCM6790.CFG) which
      is supplied with 3COM. The configuration file does not specify that its
      memory location is shared RAM, therefore the BIOS assumes system RAM by
      default.

    - The failure was corrected when the file was patched with the line.

    - "Memtype=OTH"

    - A copy of the patched file has been made available to users via 3COM
      Bulletin Board. A fix will also be included in the next release of the
      EISA configuration file.

    ENHANCEMENTS:

    - None.
