Notes and Restrictions DAC960.ADD v5.00-20
=====================================
-The driver 5.00-20 is released for MYLEX DAC960PG/PJ DAC960PRL and DAC1164P 
-The driver is released in a configuration with  maximal two Mylex DAC960PG/PJ  DAC960PRL or DAC1164P controllers. 
-Mixed configuration between DAC960PRL and DAC1164P is not allowed
-Mixed configuration between DAC960PRL and DAC960PG/PJ or mixed configuration between DAC1164P and DAC960PG/PJ is not allowed

- Interruptsharing between multiple Mylex disk array controllers is not possible.
OS/2 will hang when trying to load DAC960.ADD with shared interrupts between DACs. In this case use the BIOS setup to assign distinct interrupts to each controller.

- for using GAM Service you must use the version 2.20-b17 of GAM Server for OS/2.

- OS/2 Warp Server installation may get the driver inactive, although it is correctly entered into DISK1and installation switch SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 in CONFIG.SYS. Either the driver on the installed partition is overwritten by the native one from CD or the CONFIG.SYS entry BASEDEV=DAC960.ADD gets removed from CONFIG.SYS on the installed partition.
This is a bug of the installation program and has to be corrected manually (modify config.sys or recopy DAC960.ADD).

- DAC960.ADD must only be entered once into CONFIG.SYS, even if multiple controllers are installed. A second occurence of BASEDEV=DAC960.ADD causes OS/2 to trap with a TRAP03 at driver load.
