POWER PREMIUM AND DALLAS SEMICONDUCTOR DS1255
PROBLEM: When running the application View386 from Lavenir Technology,
the software displays the error message "software key not
found".
CAUSE: The Intel 82351 Local I/O EISA chip used on the Power Premium
systems has a minor functional difference with the AT parallel
port design which prevents it from working with the Dallas
Semiconductor DS1255 Keyring.
AFFECTED
SYSTEMS: All Power Premium systems.
SOLUTION: This is not a problem that AST can resolve. As a work around,
the following options are available:
1) Install a third party I/O card.
2) Lavenir technology has been advised of the problem, along
with a possible workaround which may be implemented through
software modification. Contact Lavenir for a possible
update.
