SCSI DRIVERS FOR THE PS/2 MODEL 56, 57, 76, 77 and 85.

These drivers have been tested only with the internal (MotherBoard) host
adapters and internal drives of the PS/2 Models 56, 57, 76, 77 and 85.

This updated SCSI disk driver, version (1.14) for NetWare v2.2, addresses
several problems with the earlier version (1.1) of this driver.  They are:

1)  Version 1.1 exhibited problems with a CDROM on a Non-Dedicated 2.2
server.

2)  Version 1.1 would not show the correct controller number within
Fconsole.

3)  A loss of disk space or problems with partitioning would result from
the use of disk driver version 1.1 because the correct number of heads was
not passed to the operating system.

4)  Version 1.1 is unable to recognize internal (MotherBoard) SCSI
controller on the new IBM PS/2 systems.

INSTALLATION:

To INSTALL this version of the IBM PS/2 SCSI driver:

1)    Copy PS2ISCSI.DSK to the SYSTEM-1 diskette or subdirectory.

2)    Copy PS2ISCSI.OBJ to the SYSTEM-2 diskette or subdirectory.

2)    Run INSTALL and select IBM PS/2 Built in (MotherBoard) SCSI Disk
Driver V1.14.  Regenerate and install the operating system as you normally
would.

***** IMPORTANT NOTE: ******************************************

This driver is only for the internal IBM SCSI controller and does not
support the external BUS type cache or non-cache controllers. Also it
cannot be loaded (at this time) with any other PS2SCSI driver (Channel 0
only).  This means that if you want to use the internal (embedded) scsi
port with this driver, you will not be able to use an IBM scsi, cache or
non-cache, host bus adapter (this driver will NOT co-exist with the
pss2esdi driver at present).  Later versions may permit the co-existence of
this driver and the HBA driver.

****************************************************************
                           CAUTION

ALWAYS backup your system before implementing any program/utility revision
involving the low-level functions of NetWare including re-linking of
operating system .OBJ files, Bindery utilities, drive and volume operation,
etc.
