Due to problems with one new driver this update is being posted late
to this location.  The March update consists of two compressed
tar files -- one for the 3.5" diskette format and one for the 5.25"
diskette format.  You need only copy the format you need for your
system.

The files are:

MARCH3.tar.Z -- 3.5" format files

MARCH5.tar.Z -- 5.25" format files

Contained within each of these tar files are 3 files:

1-Boot image
2-Update image
3-Late Breaking News (postscript)

A text version of the late breaking news is posted separtely as
late05.txt.

Copy the compressed tar files to your local system, uncompress
it, then un-tar it to obtain the 2 diskette images and the late
breaking news.  The late breaking news describes the content of
the diskette. These diskettes contain all drivers cumulative 
since the Solaris 2.1 FCS release.

Use dd to write the diskette images to a floppy diskette.  For example,
to create a new boot diskette from the image contained in the 
MARCH03.tar.Z archive, execute

dd if=du_boot.3 of=/dev/rfd0 bs=30K  (assumming that the primary floppy is 3 1/2")

These drivers have been tested on release 2.1 and should be
compatible with EA-1 release of 2.4, however no testing has been
done on that release.

Also posted here for March is a new PMI patch update.  This file
is also compressed (PMI07.Z).  Uncompress this file to get a 
diskette image of a Solaris 2.1 patch.  This patch is in the 
standard patch format and can be used to add support for new
PMI devices.  The README file on the patch describes the new
device support.

The file dd.exe posted here is a DOS executable that will allow
you to make diskette copies on a DOS system.  The utility accepts
the name of the diskette image file and will copy it to the
floppy:  E.G.:  dd.exe [fname] a:
