DESCRIPTION:  Creates the Support Software for Novell Products Diskettes (NSSD). 
The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable 
Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and 
intraNetWare on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq 
options such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, 
and Compaq CD-ROM drives.

Enhancements/Fixes:  

 - CPQICMD.NLM v1.13 was updated to allow the installation of PCI Hot Plug
   software on non-PCI Hot Plug systems without prompting the user to
   choose settings on the PCI Hot Plug Reservation Table.  Earlier
   versions of CPQICMD.NLM would prompt the user to choose settings on
   the PCI Hot Plug Reservation Table after loading PCI Hot Plug software
   on non-PCI Hot Plug systems.  This effort provided no realized gain to
   non-PCI Hot Plug systems.

 - CPQ2ETH.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown
   to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active
   allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data.
   Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but
   there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the
   data to the operating system.

 - CPQ2TOK.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown
   to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active
   allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data.
   Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but
   there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the
   data to the operating system.

 - CPQETHER.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown
   to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active
   allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data.
   Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but
   there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the
   data to the operating system.

 - CPQTOKEN.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown
   to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active
   allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data.
   Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but
   there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the
   data to the operating system.

   PCI Controller.

 - N100.LAN v3.27 is a new addition to NSSD which provides NetWare server
   support for the following devices:

     Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel UTP Controller

     Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel WOL UTP Controller

 - N100ODI.COM v1.10 is a new addition to NSSD which provides DOS ODI support
   for the following devices:

     Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel UTP Controller
     Compaq Netelligent 10T PCI Intel UTP Controller
     Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel WOL UTP Controller

 - NFT.NLM v1.10 is a new addition to NSSD and provides controller redundancy
   for two Compaq 10/100 PCI controllers or two NC3121 Fast Ethernet
   network interface cards (NICs), or one of each.

 - PCNTNW.LAN v4.06 was updated to comply with the ODI 3.31 specification for
   intraNetWare.

 - PCNTNW.COM v4.00 was updated to comply with the ODI 3.31 specification for
   intraNetWare.

 - OS/2 support has been removed from NSSD 3.22 and later.  Please refer
   to NSSD 3.21 for OS/2 client driver support.

 - Novell currently only supports the use of NDIS drivers for Client32
   for Windows and NT.  Please refer to the Client32 documentation for
   driver installation information.

 - CPQARRAY.HAM v1.20 adds support for the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES
   Controller.

 - CPQFC.HAM v1.02 prevents an ABEND from occurring during
   initialization when memory allocation problems occur under NetWare
   3.2.

 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 supports the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES
   Controller features.

 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 adds support for 64MB cache on the Compaq SMART
   Array 3100ES Controller.

 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 displays the following error message when a
   DDFS driver does not support the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES
   Controller, or greater:

      "The currently loaded array driver does not support this
      controller.  This controller requires CPQARRAY.HAM version 1.20
      or later.  Please make sure you have the latest driver loaded on
      the system."

   Upgrade to the latest version of CPQARRAY.HAM located on Disk 4 of
   the NSSD.

 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 supports the 64-bit cache on the Compaq Fibre
   Channel Storage System.

   to run the array configuration utility on NetWare 5.0:

      "This version of the array configuration utility does not
      support NetWare 5.0.  Please obtain a newer version of
      CPQONLIN."

   Upgrade to the latest version of CPQONLIN.NLM located on Disk 5 of
   the NSSD.

   Plug controller, indicating the system does not support PCI Hot Plug.

 - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 has been updated to correctly display the message
   "Power Fault" in the Event Log entry when there is a power fault in
   the first Hot Plug slot of a system bus.  Previously, the message
   "Unexpected Slot Power Loss" would display when this power fault
   occurred.

 - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 was updated to support the latest revisions of
   the Hot Plug controller for future hardware.
