DESCRIPTION:  Applies a fix for the problem where the Quantum Bigfoot CY 
hard drive has timing problems with an Intel PIIX4 when DMA is enabled.  
The symptom is that a hard drive operation times out after several seconds 
and Windows 95 retries the operation.  It may result in intermitten blue 
screens or system lockups.  In addition, multiple autoplays may occur when 
inserting the QuickRestore CD.

The issue only occurs when the hard drive is using DMA. 

This fix detects the Bigfoot CY hard drive and turns off DMA when found.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq file SP10136.EXE to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Execute SP10136.EXE and follow the prompts. 

3. Restart the computer when prompted.
