Known Limitations:

o System hang when PC130 NIC and ZX312 NIC driver are used together under
  netware 3.12
  Workaround: don't use these drivers together.

o Software problem between CMD and 1540CF driver.
  - When both CMD and 1540CF driver was installed, and only one SCSI
    disk was connected. system will wait after running
    NDIAGS (Norton Utility 8.0).
    This is a software problem between CMD and 1540CF driver.

   Workaround: 1. Do not install CMD driver when you have only one
                  SCSI disk drive.
               2. use two IDE drives and one SCSI drive if you really
                  want CMD and 1540CF driver work together.
               3. if you use only one IDE and one SCSI drive together.
                  don't install CMD driver.

o Unable to change PCI IRQ while its IRQ is used by other cards.
  
  Workaround: 1. remove all PCI cards and then running ICU on
                 palomino system.
              2. insert your PCI cards after complete the ICU
                 setting. the PCI IRQs will be reallocate to another
                 number.

o Installing QEMM 386v7.01 and performing memory optimization cause
              exception #13

  - QEMM recognizes the type of shadow memory in use.
  - On some systems with unusual types of shadow memory, QEMM may
  - have a problem reclaiming the unused portion.

  Workaround: To solve this problem putting the RH:N parameter on
              the QEMM386.SYS device line

o Under protected mode when using ITA Ultra Pro Vga card,
  the system suspend will cause the system hung.

  -This is the problem of ITA Ultra Pro Vga bios.
