	  This	DigiWare  software package includes device drivers for
				    Digi Xe,
	  Digi Xr, EPC/X, AccelePort RAS, C/X and  Xem	product	 fami-
	  lies.	  This package also contains Digi's MenuPort Interface
	  (MPI), Port  Configuration  Utility  (PCU),  and  Digi  Port
	  Authority (DPA).

	   MPI V4.0.0:

	  1. Enhancements

	  Added	AccelePort RAS support.

	  Removed support for Micro Channel.

	  Removed support for Avanstar adapter.

	  Modified  the	 package  so  that  it	now  only  works  with
	  OpenServer 5 releases.

	  Removed T1 Modem Bank	support.

	  Removed EISA adapter support.

	  Removed the Shutsave feature from the	driver.

	  2. Bug Fixes

	  Changed the way PCU updates the Devices file for  out	 going

	  devices.

	  3. Known Limitations

	  Transparent	print  is  not	supported  on  AccelePort  RAS
	  adapters in this release.

	  If multiple Xr(PCI) cards  are  being	 configured,  and  the
	  cards	support	different numbers of ports, make sure the card
	  placement on the PCI bus match the order in which  they  are
	  configured in	MPI.

	  If  you get errors on	boot that say "Another Process Waiting
	  on Open", you	can put	the command "sleep 10"	as  the	 first
	  line in "/etc/rc.d/8/pcuepca"	which will delay the execution
	  of the ditty commands	 until	the  download  process	has  a
	  chance to complete.

	  At  this point, the driver supports PCI initialization using
	  the built in PCI BIOS	routines.  If the hardware or software
	  does	not allow use of the PCI BIOS routines,	the board ini-
	  tialization will fail.

	  The device driver update function from MPI v2.0.1 or earlier
	  may not work properly	with later versions of MPI.

	  For maximum performance of throughput, all of	the concentra-
	  tors should be evenly	divided	between	the 2 lines.

	  Canonical input ttyhog processing works  slightly  different
	  than	might be expected. If the UNIX input highwater mark is
	  reached without the eol character  being  received,  echoing
	  stops	 until the board's input buffer	overflows or an	inter-
	  rupt character or break is received.

	  Scancode terminals, under VP/ix, must	be  configured	for  8
	  databits,  1 stop bit, and no	parity as scancodes are	8 bits
	  wide.

	  4. Manual Errata

	  None
