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

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.
