- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: Storage Dimensions has certified the LANSCSI.OBJ and
- LANSCSI.OBJ VADDs on AT machines with (of course) AT
- Controllers. Recently, we have had customers call in with
- the same VADD names being used on MCA Controllers.
-
- 1. We haven't yet certified either of these two VADDs on
- MCA Controllers.
-
- 2. If we had, IMSP would probably have required Storge
- Dimensions to change the names of those VADDs.
-
- 3. Storage Dimensions provides a utility called LANSTOR.EXE
- which generates and places the xxxxx.OBJ in the proper
- NETGEN directory. However, the file date stamp is updated.
- This makes a mess when you want to track VADD versions.
- Fortunately, whenever the VADD is initialized under COMPSURF,
- NETGEN Install, F/S boot, etc., the VADD version appears in
- a temporary window.
-
- If you know of other 3rd party developers who are using the
- same names for products which should have different names,
- as in this instance of ISA vs MCA, then let us know. You
- may want to beware of potential problems of this nature as
- you troubleshoot your way through the obscure paths of
- Tech Support.
