AN430TX SPECIFICATION UPDATE ERRATA 1. System Does Not Meet FCC Class B with Unshielded USB Cables PROBLEM: The motherboard will generate excessive electromagnetic radiation on unshielded USB cables, even if no device or a low speed (sub-channel) USB device is attached to the cable. IMPLICATION: The system will not meet FCC Part 15 Class B requirements when unshielded USB cable is used. This is a violation of the USB v1.0 specification. WORKAROUND: Use USB devices with shielded cable that me

LS-120 Drive Does Not Work as Expected in Windows* 95 PROBLEM: After restarting Windows* 95 from MS-DOS* mode, the system BIOS does not configure the diskette parameter table correctly if an LS-120 drive is the only floppy drive in the system. IMPLICATION: Windows 95 will report the LS-120 drive as a hard drive instead of a floppy drive and will report a floppy drive available as Driv

AN430TX SPECIFICATION UPDATE 13. System BIOS May Corrupt Audio Add-In Card EEPROM PROBLEM: Audio add-in cards using the Yamaha OPL3-SA2 or OPL3-SA3 audio codec have the same hardware identification number that is used by the Yamaha audio device integrated on the motherboard. This causes the system BIOS to inadvertently write information into the audio add-in card’s serial EEPROM during system startup, thereby corrupting the audio add-in card’s EEPROM contents. IMPLICATION: The audio add-in ca

AN430TX SPECIFICATION UPDATE 17. System Will Not Boot with Network as First Boot Device PROBLEM: The feature allowing the system to boot from the network is not implemented. After the attempt to boot from a network device selected as the first boot device fails, the system BIOS does not attempt to boot from any additional boot devices specified in the BIOS Setup program. IMPLICATION: If Network boot is selected as the first boot device, the system will hang. WORKAROUND: Remove Network boot f
