ABSTRACT:
This file fixes a problem with the PS2SCSI.DSK driver shipped with NetWare
v3.10a. The driver was reporting a nonmedia error when the SCSI device
returned a completion of 07 -- Adapter Hardware Failure and 0ch -- Command
Completed with failure. This error would result in deactivation of the
SCSI device. This version of the driver will retry when encountering the
0ch error rather than deactivating the device.
