AMI EISA Configuration Utility - Version 1.4c
Release Notes
July 14, 1992


This document outlines the new features that were added and bugs that were
fixed in Version 1.4c of AMI ECU.  The previous version of AMI ECU was 1.4b
which was released on 1/21/92.  Most of the changes to the ECU are related
to a new revision of the EISA Specification from BCPR.  The ECU is now
compatible with EISA Specification Version 3.12.

When configuring multiple Adaptec 174X boards version 1.4B of the ECU would
sometimes hang.  This problem has been corrected and tested thoroughly.

Version 1.4C supports the new VERSION statement in the BOARD block of CFG
files.  The AMI ECU 1.4C will display a warning if the version level of a
CFG file is greater than 2.01.

Version 1.4C will accept the new SIZING statement in the BOARD block of CFG
files.

Version 1.4C supports the two new board categories CPU and JOY, for CPU
cards and joystick boards.

Version 1.4C supports the expanded IOPORT statement definition.  A single
port may receive multiple initialization values in sequence by defining the
port multiple times, each with a separate index.

Version 1.4C supports the SHOW=EXP statement in FUNCTION blocks of CFG
files.  This causes the function to be displayed only if the ECU is running
in Advanced/Dealer mode.  This mode is enabled by starting the ECU with the
command line switch /a.

Version 1.4C supports the new EWORD size for DMA blocks in CFG files.

Version 1.4C supports the new CACHE=WRITEBACK statement in MEMORY blocks of
CFG files.

Version 1.4C supports the new type of BOARD statement that can occur
anywhere within a CFG file.  This type of BOARD statement serves to change
the name of the board as it is displayed on screen.

Under version 1.4B, PORTADR statements from different boards could
interfere with each other.  This problem has been corrected in version
1.4C.
