- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Although these Data Stor computers are on the Hardware Compatibility List,
- early models contain motherboards that have a problem with the UMC chipset
- and are incompatible with Windows NT. If you purchased your computer before
- March 1993 or if the motherboard does NOT have a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
- CPU socket, your computer may have this chipset.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To correct this problem, upgrade your motherboard. Contact Data Stor
- technical support at (800) 543-6098. Alternatively, you may be able to
- work around the problem by disabling certain CMOS settings, particularly by
- slowing the computer clock rate by disabling the turbo option.
