DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq creates the Compaq 64-Bit/66Mhz Wide 
Ultra3 Controller Driver, adpu160m.sys version 6.0.4000.310 for Windows NT 4.0.
        
Enhancements/Fixes:

This version (6.0.4000.310) of the Compaq 64-Bit/66Mhz Wide Ultra3 Controller Driver 
for Windows NT 4.0 fixes intermittent Adpu160m event ID 9 errors seen in the NT event 
log while performing tape backups using the Adaptec based 64-bit/66-Mhz Wide Ultra3 SCSI 
Controllers with a multiple LUN tape storage system connected such as the CPQ 12/24 or 
20/40 GB DAT Autoloader devices.

This error condition may render the tape devices inaccessible and can happen on any Proliant 
system with the Compaq 64-Bit/66Mhz Wide Ultra3 Controller Driver, adpu160m.sys, 
version 6.0.4000.200 (or earlier)for Windows NT 4.0. This error occurs when attempting to perform 
tape backups with applications such as Arcserve 2000 or Veritas Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000
while other applications that also request or send SCSI commands such as the CPQ Survey
Utility, CPQ Insight Storage Agent, or the CPQ Tape Storage Management Console are
concurrently running in the background.  The 6.0.4000.310 version of the driver fixes a
problem the Adaptec based Ultra 160 controller and previous releases or the driver had
dealing with multiple non-tagged commands.
