Release Notes - The adapter name displayed in the NDIS configuration screen has changed from "Realtime Coprocessor Adapter Port for CM/2" to "IBM ARTIC/ARTIC186 Adapter." - The installation process will update a line in the CONFIG.SYS from RUN=C:\CMLIB\CCLLDRIC.EXE to CALL=C:\CMLIB\CCLLDRIC.EXE Using the CALL statement allows the adapter to reset and load the support task prior to the NETBIND command. This is necessary to support TCPIP. However, the CALL statement increases the system unit's startup time. You can change the CALL statement back to the RUN statement to decrease startup time if TCPIP is not used on any of the ARTIC adapters. - The installation process now copies the files into the correct subdirectory prior to running the MPTS installation and configuration. - The installation process also creates the ICAPARM.PRM file, needed by the ARTIC OS/2 Support. 7.
