	  Bravo MS-T Western Digital and MS Office Professional v 4.3


PROBLEM

1. During installation of MS Office Professional v4.3, using a Western 
   Digital WDAC2850-00F, the Bravo MS-T system may report miscellaneous 
   setup corrupt errors, initialization errors, or General Protection Fault 
   (GPF) errors.  

2. After opening more than one document, following the installation of MS 
   Office Professional v4.3, a GPF error may occur.


CAUSE

Using the CD-ROM and the EIDE hard disk drive on different channels 
which do not have separate buffers, may cause controller and dual channel 
information transfer problems


SOLUTION

Configure the CD-ROM as a slave device on the same channel as the hard 
disk master.  The directions for coonfiguring the CD-ROM as a slave device 
are detailed in the AST User's Manual.
