SYMPTOMS
========

You may receive a page fault error message when Setup is detecting the Future
Domain SCSI controller in your computer. You may receive this error message even
if you do not have a Future Domain SCSI controller installed in your computer.

CAUSE
=====

386Max software is installed. This software makes the Adaptec ROM region
read-only. When Setup tries to write to the region, the error occurs. Note that
this error occurs only when you are running Setup from MS-DOS. The problem does
not occur if you run Setup from Windows or Windows for Workgroups in 386
enhanced mode.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

- Quit Setup, unload the 386Max software, and then run Setup again.

- Quit Setup, and then run Setup from Windows or Windows for Workgroups version
  3.x in 386 enhanced mode instead of from MS-DOS.
