SYMPTOMS
Computers with an EISA bus that use SysKonnect FDDI network adapters may experience data corruption during some DMA write operations.



CAUSE
SysKonnect has confirmed that a problem exists in the application-specific intergrated circuit (ASIC) on their FDDI network adapters with model numbers SK-53xx. The problem occurs only if the Bclock signal on the EISA bus is extended beyond 800nS. This condition is known to occur on the following Compaq systems:

SystemPro XL

ProLiant 2000

ProLiant 4000

ProLiant 4500



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, please contact SysKonnect technical support for an ASIC revision. In addition to this hardware update, an enhanced Windows NT driver is available from SysKonnect.
