TITLE:  Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM, Bravo Systems
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   When adding a Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive to a Bravo system, the 
   CD-ROM will not function properly with Windows 95 on the 
   Secondary IDE Interface.
   
   AST does not ship the Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive. This drive is 
   not qualified for use on any of these systems.
   
   This issue affects the following systems: 501951, 501952, 501954, 
   501955, 501956, 501972, and 503043.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   N/A    

 
ACTION 
 
   The Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM drive will function properly if 
   installed as a slave drive on the Primary IDE Interface.
   
   To resolve the issue, follow the directions included with the 
   Samsung SCR-830 CD-ROM to set the jumper on the drive to SLAVE. 
   Set the hard drive jumper(s) to MASTER. Both devices must be 
   connected to the Primary IDE Interface. 
   
   To configure the drives, follow the steps below:
   
   1. Enter System Setup.
   
   2. Set the MASTER and SLAVE drives under the Primary IDE
