MORE INFORMATION
There is a problem with PCI computers that use the RZ1000 PCI IDE
Controller. Baseboards that use this chip include Intel baseboards
commonly known as Premiere or Plato, as well as non-Intel baseboards.
This problem presents the potential for data corruption, which could
manifest itself as a misspelled word in a document, incorrect values or
account balances in accounting software, unexplained program failures when
program execution reaches a corrupted instruction in the executable code,
destruction of directory trees, or even corruption of an entire partition
or drive.
The only operating systems known to be affected by this problem are
Windows NT versions 3.1 and earlier, OS/2, Warp and LINUX.
