************************************************************
* 3C.  SOFTWARE SIGHTINGS AND/OR ERRATA FOR THIS RELEASE
************************************************************
Revision:   Version 2.00RC Release Information:
    1.  If the ICHX.INF file is used for preload with Windows 98 Second 
        Edition, support for Processor_Update and *PNP0C14 may not
        be installed under Windows 98 Second Edition.
        Since these drivers are not included with Windows 98 (Gold)
        this issue is limited to Windows 98 Second Edition only.
      

    
************************************************************
* 3D.  TESTING INFORMATION
************************************************************
Revision:   Version 2.00RC Release Information:
    This software release has been validated with systems 
    containing the following Intel® chipsets:
          Intel® 810 Chipset
          Intel® 810e Chipset
          Intel® 820 Chipset
          Intel® 840 Chipset       

************************************************************
* 4.  TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
************************************************************
Please refer to Readme.txt for the list of the general
troubleshooting techniques.

Issue:      When updating the USB device for Windows 95
            operating systems with USB Supplement, the 
            system halts with a blue screen during USB
            update, or the USB device description in 
            Device Manager has a yellow exclamation mark
            next to it.

Solution:   Ensure that the all steps were followed in 
            Section 5B of readme.txt, "Installing the 
            Windows 95 INF Files Prior to OS Installation."            

            To address this problem, re-install the 
            operating system following the directions
            in Section 5B of readme.txt.

Issue:      Intel® Security Driver fails to install.

Solution:   The IFWH.INF file reference the
            Intel® 82802 Firmware Hub Controller device,
            which are also controlled by the Intel® Security
            Driver.  The operating system can only reference
            one of these driver sets.  

            To address this problem on systems where the 
            Intel® Security Driver is going to be installed, 
            1.  Remove the IFWH.INF file 
                reference in the CUSTOM.INF file. 
            2.  Remove the IFWH.INF file from
                the <Windows Setup Directory> identified in
                Section 5 of README.TXT, Installing the INF 
                Files Prior to OS Installation.
            3.  Re-install the operating system following the 
                directions in Section 5 of README.TXT.
