AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0332 10-22-87 AST-RSN/AST-PREMIUM 286 There is a speed related problem when the AST-RSN is booted with the AST-PREMIUM 286's default CPU speed set at 10 MHz. Intermittent :08 errors are generated from the AST-RSN's power on selftest. This error has no effect on AST-ADVANCED NETWARE, but the AST-NETBIOS OPTION reports a NBO:012 error on cold or warm boot and aborts. The following is a method of resolving this condition: a. Run set-up on the Premium/286 and set the default CPU speed to 6 MHz. b. Copy the 10.com file from the AST-UTILITY Software diskette to the root directory of your network boot disk. c. Edit the autoexec.bat file on your network boot disk and include the "10" command as shown in this example: :*** Network Batch File *** :*** ECHO OFF YNPROMPT Y N 39 DO YOU WANT TO START THE NETWORK Y/N IF ERROR LEVEL 1 GOTO A ECHO ON PATH=C:\ 10 NET SHARE ..........ETC The "10" command when executed will increase the CPU speed from 6 to 10 MHz.
