PROBLEM

Microsoft's MSD.EXE program may identify a Pentium processor as a 486DX in 
Bravo and Premmia systems.


CAUSE

Version 2.01 of  MSD.EXE is unable to correctly identify the Pentium 
Processor.  


SOLUTION

Microsoft's MSD version 2.11 resolves the issue.  To correct the problem, 
rename file MSDV211.AST located in the DOS and Windows sub-directories to 
MSD.EXE.  This version identifies Pentium Processor.  
For further information please reference Technical Bulletin 1207.
