AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1709          05/06/97 
 
 
 
TITLE:  Adventure! Suspends with Mouse Activity
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   When the user enables the Power Management features in System 
   Setup, the Advantage! Adventure system may place itself in a 
   suspended state, if an application running relies mainly on mouse 
   or joystick input.
   
   This issue affects the following systems: 503279, 503280, 503292, 
   503294, 503298, and 503300.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   N/A    

 
ACTION 
 
   For issues related to the mouse, please download file 
   <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ast.com/D-BIOS/05603032.EXE">05603032.EXE</A> from any of AST's On-Line! services, and install 
   system BIOS version 2.5 (p/n 905603-032) or later.    

 
NOTES 
 
   If you are running an application that primarily uses a mouse or 
   joystick, then you should disable the Power Management features 
   in Setup.  The system BIOS does not look at mouse or joystick 
   port activity. The unit is functioning as designed.
