In @8eff.adf and @8efe.adf files find and edit the "fixedresouces" From: To: POS[2]=1XxxxxxXb POS[2]=1X10xxxXb ( Where the parentheses around the "2" are square brackets ) What the bits mean: BITS 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 TR1 TR2 Timed release control 00= Immediate release 01= 2 Microsecond timed release 10= 4 Microsecond timed release 11= 6 Microsecond timed release Problem: ADF files were incorrectly built with TR1 and TR2 set to 00 Solution: Using any editor change TR1 and TR2 to 10 value Benefit: Improved performance in a heavy Microchannel utilization environment such as loaded multitasking server with a lot of bus preemption. If you are not familiar with the EDLIN line editor in DOS, please follow these steps to edit the adf files @8EFE and @8EFF: 1. At the "C:\" or "C:>" prompt, change system date to 5/31/90 by typing "Date 5/31/90". This will ensure that the files will have the correct date for future system maintenance if necessary. 2. Place reference diskette in drive A (diskette drive). 3. At DOS or OS/2 "C:\" or "C:>" prompt, type "A:" 4. Type "dir @8EFE.ADF" to make sure SCSI configuration file is on the disk. 5. Type "edlin @8EFE.ADF" to invoke the EDLIN editor to edit the file. 6. At the "*" prompt, type "9" and hit "Enter". 7. Retype the line exactly as it is displayed (with 5 spaces first). Change the first small "x" after the "=" (equal) sign (third digit) to a "1" and the following "x" to a "0". Hence, line number 9 should now be changed from "pos[2]=1XxxxxXb" to "pos[2]=1X10xxxXb", where [ ] actually are square brackets. 8. Hit "Enter". 9. At the "*" prompt, type "e" to save and exit EDLIN. 10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 for file @8EFF.ADF 11. Type "C:" 12. Type "Date MM/DD/YY" where MM,DD,and YY represent your current month, day and year. 13. Your SCSI ADF files are now updated.
