Patching Trantor T-358 OS/2 drivers for the Zenith Z-Note
=========================================================
There is a problem with the Trantor T-358 MiniSCSI EPP drivers for OS/2
interfering with the Ethernet port on the Zenith Z-Note laptop computers.
The problem is manifested as a lockup in the INTEL593.SYS driver (for
Netware ODI) at initialization time. See the accompanying problem report
to Adaptec "T358BUG.TXT" for more information, if you wish.
Note that this same problem existed in the T-358 DOS driver MA358.SYS as
of V1.06 (as shipped with the T-358). The problem is fixed in MA358.SYS
V1.12.
I have concocted patches for the two T358SCSI.ADD OS/2 drivers that I have
here: the 7-20-93 and 8-11-93 versions. Both fix the Z-Note problem. The
patched drivers should still work normally on all systems where the same
unpatched drivers already worked.
There are two patch files supplied in this ZIP file, one for each version.
The patches are applied with the PATCH.EXE program included with OS/2. In
either case, open an OS/2 command session, change to the directory that
contains T358SCSI.ADD (usually \OS2) and:
if you have the 07-20-93 version of T358SCSI.ADD, then type
PATCH path\T3580720.PAT /A
if you have the 08-11-93 version of T358SCSI.ADD, then type
PATCH path\T3580811.PAT /A
(where 'path' is the drive:directory to the patch files from this ZIP file).
The PATCH program will verify that it is patching the right file, and tell
you whether the patch was successful.
[Note: the Summer 94 "Performance Beta" for OS/2 doesn't seem to include a
copy of PATCH.EXE. Use the version from OS/2 2.1 or make the patch with
another hex editor using the appropriate PAT file as a guide.]
