This README file accompanies patches to the PS/2 Model 30-286 driver for ELS
I v2.12, ELS II v2.15, and Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15.  The following
files are included for this revision:

      M30-286  OBJ      4418 03-26-90   3:17p 
      M30PATCH EXE     10866 06-27-90  12:50p 

These patches fix the problem running NetWare on PS/2 Model 30-286 machines
with Seagate drives.  These drives operate somewhat different than other
drives shipped with the machine.  The result of these differences is the
error message: Abend: Unable to reset PS/2 internal disk controller.  This
message is displayed whenever the disk is accessed by the operating system
or utilities.

M30-286.OBJ is a replacement driver for Advanced and SFT NetWare 286 v2.15. 
M30PATCH.EXE is a utility which will patch ELS I and ELS II.

To install M30-286.OBJ:  

1)    Copy M30-286.OBJ to the DSK_DRV_001 diskette or subdirectory.  Be sure
      to keep a copy of the old M30-286.OBJ file.

2)    Run NETGEN and choose IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 MFM disk controller  V1.01
      (881028).  Regenerate the operating system as you normally would and be
      sure to copy the new operating system to your system start-up area.

To implement M30PATCH:
 
1)    Type M30PATCH to display the instructions and the files which the
      utility should be run against.

      Note:  Since paths cannot be used, you will need to run M30PATCH from
      within the same directory as the file to be patched.

2)    For ELS I, run M30PATCH with ELS1.OBJ for dedicated ELS or with
      NDELS1.OBJ for non-dedicated ELS.  For ELS II, run M30PATCH with
      ELS2_2.OBJ for dedicated ELS or with NDELS2_2.OBJ for non-dedicated 
      ELS.

3)    Run M30PATCH against COMPSURF.EXE, DISKED.EXE, and INSTOVL.EXE.  

4)    Run ELSGEN and regenerate the operating system as you normally would
      and be sure to copy the new operating system to your system start-up 
      area.
