Introducing the UnixWare 7 and Open Unix 8 Driver

Note:

The UnixWare 7/Open Unix 8 driver files are named

uw103xx.z

,

uw103xx.dd

, etc. The xx refers to the last two

digits of the actual driver version number. For example, files
associated with

mpt

driver version 1.03.04 are labeled

uw10304.z

,

uw10304.dd

, etc.

UnixWare software extends the UNIX SVR4.2 operating system.
UnixWare features include a graphical user interface (GUI), networking,
application compatibility, multitasking and multiuser capabilities, and
multiprocessor support. The

mpt

driver allows UnixWare operating

systems to interface with devices connected to the LSI Fusion-MPT
family of chipsets and/or LSI Fusion-MPT host adapter boards.
