Fixes & Enhancements
This driver merges the previous Dell 'Special' code stream and the Adaptec 'Service Pack' code stream - as of this release Dell A14 = Adaptec FMS 4.0 SP6.
It is identical to the Dell A13/Adaptec FMS4.0 SP6W2K driver, with the exception of a change to the txtsetup.oem file which fixes known issues with unattended and 'F6' OS installs, and some Disaster Recovery operations.
It is also identical to the Dell A11/Adaptec FMS 4.0 SP5 W2K driver, with the exception of the date on the .INF file, which fixes a Factory Install date conflict for W2K SP4.
S1 - S5: this is a change list/history applicable to the Dell code stream, and is applicable to Windows 2000 only:
S1: Based on Cyrax standard release, added fix for Non-Tag Target Timeout.
S2: Based on S1, added fix for Slow tape performance.
S3: Based on Cyrax standard release, added fix for Slow tape performance.
S4: Based on S2, added fix for Request Sense Timeout in Non-tag code path.
S5: Based on S3
- Clustering certification
- With non-disk device such as HP Ultrium Tape drive, the driver did not negotiate transfer rate, all subsequent I/O transfers occurred as asynchronous speeds.
- Command timeout with Event 9 errors logged in Windows 2000 Event log when using Tape Library.
- Fix for Fast or Multi SCSI ID Tape Library Timeout
- Added fix for Request Sense Timeout in Non-tag code path.
- Command timeout when installing Dell management Software under Windows 2000.
SP1 - SP4: this is a change list/history applicable to the Adaptec Service Pack code stream, and only covers changes made to Windows 2000 drivers:
Service Pack 1
Windows 2000:
- Fixed Issue: The termination setting for channel B on the AIC-7899 was being set incorrectly. The problem is seen only on motherboards in which the AIC-7899 has been designed to control the termination for channel A and Motherboards that do not use the AIC-7899 to control the termination of the bus will not see this problem. Adaptec host adapters do not exhibit this problem either.
Service Pack 2
Netware fixes only; no Windows 2000 changes.
Service Pack 3
Windows 2000:
- Fixed Issue: With non-disk device such as HP Ultrium Tape drive, the driver did not negotiate transfer rate, all subsequent IO transfers occurred as Async.
- Tape IO Test certification failure fix.
Service Pack 4
Windows 2000:
- Clustering certification
- With non-disk device such as HP Ultrium Tape drive, the driver did not negotiate transfer rate, all subsequent I/O transfers occurred as asynchronous speeds.
- Command timeout with Event 9 errors logged in win2k Event log when using Tape Library.
- Fix for Fast or Multi SCSI ID Tape Library Timeout
