* INTEL TX/LX/BX CHIPSET ISSUE *
********************************

There is a problem when using a TX/LX/BX chipset board with older revisions of
windows 95. Windows will not recognize the PIIX 4 used in the TX/LX/BX chipset
because of the fact that the TX/LX/BX chipset was released after windows, so
windows misses the appropriate drivers for the chipset. You can check whether
or not your version of windows has this problem by clicking:
'Settings (click start first) - Control Panel - System'.If you find two
question marks on 'USB device' and 'PCI bridge' then your version of windows
will need to be updated. In order to do this, please save the following
program piix4v11.exe (under the root directory) to harddisk and run it. This
program will automatically update the necessary .INF files in windows and fix
this problem.

NOTE : Install piix4v11.exe before install Windows95 Bus Master Drivers.

If the driver is installed on the system, un-install the driver (following 
the directions in the "Un-installing the Software" section) PRIOR to

    running on the system prior to installing the driver.
 2. Close any running applications.
 3. Select "My Computer". 
 4. Open the "Control Panel" Folder.
 5. Invoke the "SCSI Adapters" applet.
 6. Click on the folder tab labeled "Drivers". The currently installed SCSI
    adapter drivers will be listed in the Drivers menu.
    The display MAY list the default driver, "IDE CD-ROM (Atapi 1.2) /
    Dual-Channel PCI IDE Controller" OR a previous install of the PIIX Bus
    Master IDE driver, "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller". (NOTE:
    this text may vary according to the release of Windows NT*.) If NONE of
    these adapter drivers are listed, go to step 9.

     of the installation files. Specify the location of the driver
     installation directory when prompted to do so. 

    NOTE: This procedure assumes that the driver (PIIXIDE.SYS), installation
    file (OEMSETUP.INF) and tag file (DISK1.NT) are located in the same 
    directory.
 12. Click on "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller" driver and then 
     click "Ok".

 If the driver was previously installed on the system, a dialog box will
 appear that states that driver for the "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE
 Controller" is already on the system. If this occurs, select "New" to
