This README file accompanies the PS/2 Model 70 UPS patch for 286-based
NetWare v2.15 Rev. C.
This fix will modify the NetWare operating system to allow IBM PS/2 Model
70 computers with TYPE II KEYBOARD CONTROLLERS to work properly with a UPS.
Fixes have been completed for Advanced, SFT, TTS and ELS Level II NetWare
v2.15 Rev. C (both 3.5" and 5.25" media).
Note: This patch cannot be implemented on the same system as the IBM 80386
PS/2 memory board patch (IBMMEM.EXE).
To implement this patch, ZAPOBJ.EXE is run against a .OBJ file using a .FIX
parameter file. Parameter files (ie. *.FIX) containing temporary fixes are
supplied for both 3.5" and 5.25" media. The first 8 characters of the .FIX
files are named the same as the .OBJ files which are to be patched. ZAPOBJ
syntax is:
ZAPOBJ <input>.OBJ <output>.OBJ <input>.FIX
This should be run for each .OBJ which needs to be patched. ZAPOBJ.EXE
must be run in the same directory as the .OBJ. The <output>.OBJ file has a
different name than the <input>.OBJ file, but it should be renamed to
<input>.OBJ after the patch process.
FOR EXAMPLE, in order to patch Advanced NetWare 3.5" media,
1) Copy ZAPOBJ.EXE and UPS2ADV.FIX to the ADOBJ diskette or
subdirectory.
2) Execute the statement: ZAPOBJ ADV.OBJ NEWADV.OBJ UPS2ADV.FIX
3) Rename ADV.OBJ to ADV.BAK and rename NEWADV.OBJ to ADV.OBJ
4) Run NETGEN or ELSGEN and ensure that the newly linked operating
system is copied to your network.
(If you are patching 5.25" media, this procedure should be followed for
both UPS2ADV1.FIX and UPS2ADV2.FIX)
This patch need only be run against the .OBJ files corresponding to the
network operating system you are generating (i.e. ELS II, Advanced, SFT, or
TTS - meaning SFT with TTS).
The following is a list of .FIX files, their associated .OBJ files to be
patched, the diskettes or subdirectories where the .OBJ file is located,
and the applicable media size.
