SYMPTOMS
========
If you install Windows 95 on a Compaq Concerto computer while it is docked, you
may receive the following error message when the computer restarts in the
docking station:
101-ROM Error
After you receive the error message, the computer does not start Windows 95.
CAUSE
=====
During Windows 95 setup, the Concerto BIOS makes incorrect settings to the
built-in Ethernet adapter, preventing the computer from starting Windows 95
while it is inserted in the docking station.
RESOLUTION
==========
Contact Compaq for instructions about how to correct the docking station
settings. Compaq can also provide you with an updated BIOS that corrects the
problem.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Early versions of the Compaq Concerto BIOS allowed the built-in Ethernet
Controller EPROMs to be reprogrammed by the BIOS to incorrect values. This
problem appears to be common when setting up Windows 95 on a Compaq Concerto
with an early BIOS.
We do not know the exact BIOS version that corrects the problem, but versions
released after 7/1/95 are known to work correctly.
