I.  Installing Corrective Service
 
1)  Insert the System Information Tool Corrective Service diskette into
diskette drive A.
 
2) Type
 
COPY A:\*.* _x_:\OS2\APPS
 
where _x_ is the letter of the hard drive which contains OS/2.
 
3)  Change the active drive and directory so that _x_:\OS2\APPS (where
_x_ is the letter of the hard drive which contains OS/2) is the current
drive and directory.
 
4)  At the command prompt, type
 
SYSINFO
 
and then press Enter.  This will extract all updated files from the
self-extracting compressed file into the current directory.
 
5)  Reboot your system so that the changes can take effect.

II.  List of Fixes
 
****************** Corrective Service Version 1.1 ***********************
 
1) Changed version number on logo screen to 3.02.
 
2) Corrected the calculation and reporting of logical disk sizes of
   greater than 2 Gigabytes.
 
NOTE: Thanks to Jim Shipman for providing history file to test this fix.
 
3) Fix to processor detection logic.
 
***************** Corrective Service Version 1.0 ************************
 
1) Corrected the system identification mechanism which broke between WARP
   BETA II and WARP GA due to changes in WARP.
 
2) Corrected BASEDEV statements identified as "Not Present" in the CONFIG.SYS
   item of "Operating System Information."
 
3) Corrected the calculation and reporting of physical disk sizes of
   greater than 2 Gigabytes.

5) Corrected IRQ detection in AT Bus systems.
 
6) Corrected Boot Manager partition information.

III.  List of Added Support
 
1)  Added support for OS/2 for SMP.  As a result, a new field appears in
   the Model and Processor Information which reports the Number of
   Processors in the system.
 
2)  Added support for identifying the recent IBM PC 300 and 700 series
   machines.

IV.  Known Problems and Limitations
 
Corrective Service Version 1.1
1) Although a fix has been made to the processor detection logic, it may or
   may not provide a change to your particular situation.  In reporting these
   problems, it would be helpful if you provided the following to the support
   teams:
        a.  Processor type it should be
        b.  Machine type / model
        c.  What BIOS level and BIOS type is on your machine?
 
Corrective Service Version 1.0
1)  System Information Tool reports some 486 processors as 386 processors.  We
are working on a fix for this at present, and this fix will be made available
in a patch in the near future.
 
2)  Due to problems with the device driver for Sound Blaster-attached
CD-ROM drives (SBCD2.ADD) that shipped with Warp, System Information Tool would
sometimes crash the system when it was gathering the CD-ROM drive information
on systems that used this driver.  The new System Information Tool executable
will check whether the SBCD2.ADD is in use, and whether the version of
SBCD2.ADD is the version that shipped with Warp.  If it is, then System
Information Tool will not make the unsupported calls that cause the system
to crash.  As a result, however, CD-ROM information will be rather limited.
 
NOTE:  An updated SBCD2.ADD driver that fixes this problem is available
via FTP from ftp-os2.cdrom.com.  The file (CDDRVR.ZIP) is found in the
os2/warp/patches directory, and it contains a variety of new CD-ROM drivers
for use with OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 Warp.  If you are using the _new_ SBCD2.ADD,
System Information Tool will be able to gather considerably more information
about your CD-ROM drive.
