Date: September 10, 1990
Patches and Enhancements Relating to IBM PS/2 Hardware
Several NetWare patches and enhancements have been released on NetWire
relating to IBM PS/2 hardware. The following list identifies the
problem area, describes the patch and/or enhancement, and provides, in
parentheses, the filename on NetWire to download.
PS/2 SCSI driver. IBMSCSI.OBJ (dated 7-31-90) supports both caching
and noncaching PS/2 SCSI controllers. This driver is for Advanced and
SFT NetWare 286 v2.15 Rev. C. (PS2286.ZIP)
PS/2 SCSI driver for ELS II. This archive file includes several
operating system and utility files that have the PS/2 SCSI driver
linked in. IBMSCSI.OBJ v1.02 (dated 7-31-90) supports both caching
and noncaching PS/2 SCSI controllers. This driver is for ELS NetWare
Level II v2.15 Rev. C. (ESCI.ZIP)
32-bit memory board and cold boot loader. The IBM PS/2 80386 memory
board software destroys the NetWare cold boot loader stored at Track 0
on a file server. Previous to this patch, NetWare had to be booted
from diskette when using the memory board on a file server (see
Technical Bulletin 1-263). This patch allows a NetWare operating
system to be cold-booted when the IBM memory board is installed in the
server. This patch applies to Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15 Rev
C. (IBMMEM.ZIP)
Note: This patch is implemented using the patch applicator ZAPOBJ.
However, this patch cannot be used in conjunction with other
patches applied with ZAPOBJ.
UPS monitoring on Model 70. This patch modifies the NetWare operating
system to allow IBM PS/2 Model 70 computers with Type II keyboard
controllers to work properly with a UPS. This patch applies to
Dedicated versions of Advanced, SFT, TTS, and ELS Level II NetWare
v2.15 Rev C. (UPSM70.ZIP)
Note: This patch cannot be implemented on the same system as the
80386 PS/2 memory board patch. (IBMMEM.ZIP)
Model 30-286 driver. This file includes fixes to the problem of
running NetWare on PS/2 Model 30-286 machines on Seagate drives.
These drives operate somewhat differently from other drives shipped
with the machine. The result of these differences is the error
message "Abend: Unable to reset PS/2 internal disk controller". This
message, or a similar disk-access message, is displayed whenever the
disk is accessed by the operating system or utilities. These patches
apply to the PS/2 Model 30-286 driver for ELS I v2.12, ELS II v2.15,
and Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15. (M30PAT.ZIP)
Model 70 A21 anomaly. Some problems have arisen running NetWare on a
Model 70 A21 with the 121 Mb ESDI drive. Intermittent errors and
server "hangs" have been experienced primarily with ARCnet NICs, but
sometimes with other topologies. The problems stem from a
controller-setting routine that is not given enough time to perform
its function. This problem can be avoided by using the Reference
diskette to set the Preempt parameter to "Disabled."
