        1. Following changes are made to Venturis 5xxx BIOS 2.05.01 to generate
           Venturis 5xxx BIOS 2.06 --

           o Fix the bug that system will not boot to a WIN95 OSR2 created floppy
             if no hard disk is present.
NOTE:

It should be noted that the Crisis Recovery diskette is only used for
"RECOVERY MODE", and should not be used to flash the BIOS under DOS. If 
the PHLASH utility for some reason fails to update the BIOS correctly, 
it may be necessary to run the Crisis Recovery program. ALWAYS use the 
Crisis Recovery diskette from the currently installed BIOS version. This
means, for example, that if you are upgrading from BIOS 1.00 to 2.00 and
the PHLASH fails, you MUST run Crisis Recovery for BIOS version 1.00, 
NOT 2.00.

2. Known Limitations:
   o System hang when PC130 nic and ZX312 nic driver use 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 is installed, and only one SCSI
       disk is connected, system will always 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.
