Dear SCO Customer, Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7641d, the UnixWare 7 mc01 Driver Supplement, addresses the problems listed below. SLS ptf7641a addressed the following issues: - mccntl functions fail because sdi timeouts are too short. SLS ptf7641a extended mc01 to interface correctly with the sdi_timeout mechanisms, and modifies default timeouts to allow changer operations to complete without error. SLS ptf7641d additionally addresses the following issues: - The system panics when running multiple 'mccntl' commands. - mccntl -E fails to operate correctly (multi-drive tape changer).
