SUMMARY
=======
The Compaticard IV, a floppy controller card, may exhibit a problem when running
in a machine with an American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) BIOS when EMM386.EXE is
loaded. The machine may fail to boot when the Compaticard IV device driver,
CC4DRV.SYS, is loaded.
MORE INFORMATION
================
There is one solution and one possible workaround to this problem.
RESOLUTION
==========
Micro Solutions has a patch available for CC4DRV.SYS, and will send out a
corrected copy to customers who request it. Customers should contact Micro
Solutions directly to obtain the new file.
WORKAROUND
==========
Often the problem can be worked around by adding the parameter D=n to EMM386.EXE
where n is a number greater than or equal to 128. For example:
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe d=128
The workaround should only be used as a temporary fix. The patch should be
obtained from Micro Solutions as soon as possible.
