PS2OPT.DSK for NetWare v3.11. This driver has been modified to
include a wider range of support for tape drives as well as other
issues.
Tape units the driver has been tested with:
1. Exabyte 8200, 8mm
2. Exabyte 8500, 8mm
3. HP 35470, 4mm DAT
4. HP 35480A, 4mm DAT
5. HP 35450A, 4mm DAT
6. WangDat 3200, 4mm DAT
7. WangDat 1300, 4mm DAT
8. Archive Python, 4mm DAT
9. Cipher T860s, 1/2 inch tape
The following problems have been fixed:
1. Recovering when older disk drives would fail and hang the SCSI bus.
2. Occasionally failed to reload when there were active work stations.
3. Occasionally caused an ABEND when mounting all devices.
4. Taking too long to recover when a disk drive failed.
This driver provides support for ALL IBM SCSI controllers, bus based
as well as internal (MotherBoard). The internal (MotherBoard) controllers
are found on PS/2 models 56, 57, 76, 77, and 85.
A new option has been added to the command line (at the server) when
loading the disk driver, "LOAD PS2OPT.DSK /host", "/host" (in lower
case only). This option tells the driver to load the internal
(MotherBoard) SCSI controller that may not have been recognized. The
PS2 model 85 must use this command to load, all other currently
known, do not need it.
To Install:
1. Rename the PS2OPT.DSK that is currently being used to PS2OPT.OLD.
2. Copy the new file PS2OPT.DSK onto the boot drive.
