- This README file accompanies patches to the PS/2 Model 30-286 driver for ELS
- I v2.12, ELS II v2.15, and Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15. The following
- files are included for this revision:
-
- M30-286 OBJ 4418 03-26-90 3:17p
- M30PATCH EXE 10866 06-27-90 12:50p
-
- These patches fix the problem running NetWare on PS/2 Model 30-286 machines
- with Seagate drives. These drives operate somewhat different than other
- drives shipped with the machine. The result of these differences is the
- error message: Abend: Unable to reset PS/2 internal disk controller. This
- message is displayed whenever the disk is accessed by the operating system
- or utilities.
-
- M30-286.OBJ is a replacement driver for Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15.
- M30PATCH.EXE is a utility which will patch ELS I and ELS II.
-
- To install M30-286.OBJ:
-
- 1) Copy M30-286.OBJ to the DSK_DRV_001 diskette or subdirectory. Be sure
- to keep a copy of the old M30-286.OBJ file.
-
- 2) Run NETGEN and choose IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 MFM disk controller V1.01
- (881028). Regenerate the operating system as you normally would and be
- sure to copy the new operating system to your system start-up area.
-
- To implement M30PATCH:
-
- 1) Type M30PATCH to display the instructions and the files which the
- utility should be run against.
-
- Note: Since paths cannot be used, you will need to run M30PATCH from
- within the same directory as the file to be patched.
-
- 2) For ELS I, run M30PATCH with ELS1.OBJ for dedicated ELS or with
- NDELS1.OBJ for non-dedicated ELS. For ELS II, run M30PATCH with
- ELS2_2.OBJ for dedicated ELS or with NDELS2_2.OBJ for non-dedicated
- ELS.
-
- 3) Run M30PATCH against COMPSURF.EXE, DISKED.EXE, and INSTOVL.EXE.
-
- 4) Run ELSGEN and regenerate the operating system as you normally would
- and be sure to copy the new operating system to your system start-up
- area.
