How to Make the Installation Diskette from the Disk Image File
--------------------------------------------------------------

	You may find some of the files in this directory have the same 
filename but with different filename extension. They are the same disk 
image but one of them is compressed for easy file transferring:

	1) With no filename extension:
		This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command. To restore
		this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use "dd" command:

		# dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

		(where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk 
		image, "/dev/fd0" refers to the device name of the floppy
		drive.)

	2) With filename extension ".Z":
		This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command, then 
		compressed by unix "compress" command.

		To uncompress the compressed file, use the unix "uncompress"
		command:

		# uncompress filename.Z

		(where "filename.Z" is the filename of the compressed disk
		image. After the file has been uncompressed, the filename
		extension will be removed. The "filename.Z" will become 
		"filename".)

		The compressed file - "filename.Z" will become uncompressed - 
		"filename". To restore this disk image onto a floppy diskette, 
		use "dd" command:

		# dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

		(where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk 
		image, "/dev/fd0" refers to the device name of the floppy
		drive.)

	The disk image files require a floppy drive equipped unix system 
to restore to a floppy diskette.

 Identify The Controller
-------------------------

* The IFT-2101U controllers have two major revisions:
	FW Upgradability: Rev.A
	FW Upgradability: Rev.B

  The "Rev.A" controllers can upgrade up to 2.11E firmware. However we 
	recommend not to upgrade the firmware and drivers, or upgrade
	to firmware 1.22o only.

  The "Rev.B" controllers can upgrade up to the latest firmware.

* The IFT-2101U2 (Ultra2) controllers are all "FW Upgradability: Rev.B".

* Before download the firmware update files, make sure your IFT-2101U
  controller is "FW Upgradability: Rev.B".

* Please check your IFT-2101U controller: On the rear side of the IFT-2101U
  controller, find "PCB NO:2101-01 REV:1.2" text near the PCI edge 
  connector.

  If it is "REV:1.2", it is a "FW Upgradability: Rev.A" controller.

  If it is "REV:1.3" or newer, it is a "FW Upgradability: Rev.B" controller.
   
* For the controllers with "FW Upgradability: Rev.A", it is not possible
  to upgrade or modify to "Rev.B". Therefore, please stay with the original
  firmware on the controller.
