13. System Using 3-Mode Floppy Drive Cannot Read XDF Format
Diskettes
PROBLEM: The buffer area that stores floppy drive parameters does not have room to store the speed
information to allow a 3-mode floppy drive to read a diskette in the XDF format.
IMPLICATION: A system that has a 3-mode floppy drive cannot be used to install a program or operating
system, such as PC-DOS 7.0, that is distributed on XDF format diskettes.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
14. System With 3 Mode Diskette Drive Will Not Format Unformatted
Floppy Disk
PROBLEM: The BIOS does not support formatting unformatted diskettes with a 3-mode diskette drive. The
operation will terminate with the message, “Track0 Not Found.” Previously formatted diskettes can be
reformatted in the drive.
IMPLICATION: Unformatted diskettes will have to be formatted in another system before they can be used.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
15. Option to Scan User Flash Area Does Not Work
PROBLEM: The option to scan the user flash area at system boot and execute a binary file stored there is not
implemented in the BIOS.
IMPLICATION: The user will not be able to use this function.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
16. BIOS Does Not Halt System After Multi-bit ECC Error
PROBLEM: When a multi-bit ECC error is detected by the BIOS a record of the error is entered into the
management information log but the system is not halted.
IMPLICATION: The erroneous data will be passed to the system by the memory controller.
Single-bit errors are detected and corrected by the memory controller and entered into the management
information log.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
