            "UNKNOWN CARD" MESSAGE ADDED WITH ICU ON BRAVO MS

PROBLEM:     After updating AST BIOS to V2.01, ISA Configuration Utility 
             (ICU) may add "Unknown Card" under System Resource Usage 
             every time the system is rebooted. No resources are used.

CAUSE:       ICU V1.02 is not compatible with BIOS V2.01 or higher.

SOLUTION:    Update ICU to V1.03 or higher.
