Compaq Fibre Channel Filter Driver(CPQFCFTR.SYS) - Fixed a problem with the CPQFCFTR.INF file not recognizing the correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion. Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver(CPQFCALM.SYS) - Added support for virtual LUN (Logical Unit Number) capability. This support allows hot adding drives to a Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controller with no targets. - Changed version-numbering scheme of the Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver from 1.xx to 4.xx. - Fixed problem with World Wide ID of non-Compaq devices appearing as being byte swapped in Compaq Insight Manager and other applications that gather information from driver. - Improved the detection of lost login frames. - Fixed a bug that would prevent a Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controller from receiving a fibre channel loop address. - Fixed a problem with the CPQFCALM.INF file not recognizing the correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion. Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0(SETUP.EXE) - Added support to upgrade/downgrade your HAL if Microsoft Service Pack 4 is installed on your system. - Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to disallow installation of the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver, the Compaq SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver, or the Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver if it detects that you have removed the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel. Once the driver has been uninstalled from the Windows NT Control Panel, you must reboot the system or reinstall the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel. - Added a new popup, indicating the supported version of the Compaq Array Configuration Utility that is supported in this Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 release, which will appear after the option to install the utility has been selected. - Added an enhancement to indicate when you should update the Compaq Array Configuration Utility on your system. - Removed the capability for Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A (or later) to operate on Compaq Professional Workstation products. - Added support for the Compaq NC3161 Fast Ethernet NIC. - Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to prompt you to update the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver after installing RAS to ensure that a registry setting created by the RAS install has the correct value for this driver. If this driver is not updated after a RAS install is performed, the registry value will be incorrect, disabling the "route add A B" command functionality that was fixed in this release (see the "Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS)" entry in this section). Compaq SCSI Controller Driver(CPQ32FS2.SYS) - Updated the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver version from 3.19 to 3.21. - Added support to the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver for the following new products: Compaq Prosignia 720 6/350 Compaq Prosignia 720 6/400 Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide-Ultra2 SCSI Controller. - Fixed a problem with the FASTSCSI.INF file not recognizing the correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion. - Changed Compaq Pseudo Device type from UNSUPPORTED to UNKNOWN. - Fixed a performance degradation problem observed on fast disk drives upon removal and reinsertion. - Changed the driver name in the file properties from “Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 Controllers” to “Compaq SCSI Controllers.” Compaq SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver(CPQARRAY.SYS) - Fixed a problem with the CPQARRAY.INF file not recognizing the correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.
