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 install will update a line in the CONFIG.SYS from RUN=C:\CMLIB\CCLLDRIC.EXE to CALL=C:\CMLIB\CCLLDRIC.EXE the use of the CALL statement will allow the card to reset and load the support task prior to the NETBIND command. This is necessary to support TCPIP. The change will increase the time required for the system unit to start. The CALL command can be changed back to the RUN command to speed up start up if TCPIP is not used on any of the the Artic adapters. The installation procedures have been simplified. Files are now copied into the correct subdirectory prior to running the MPTS installation and configuration. The installation will also create the ICAPARM.PRM file, needed by the ARTIC OS/2 Support, for you. 7.
