Release 7.0.1 new features

Hardware


Enhanced hardware support
UnixWare now supports additional popular audio, graphics, and networks adapters. If you layer ``update701'' on top of an existing UnixWare 7 Release 7.0.0 system, you must use pkgadd to add the updated ``audio'', ``nics'', and ``xdrivers'' packages from the UnixWare 7.0.1 Operating System Updates CD-ROM.

MMX support
Permits applications which use MMX technology to execute. This feature does not add support for building applications which use MMX.

2 Network card failover GUI support
Enables a network adapter to be configured as a failover device and be associated with a primary interface. The GUI also supports manual failover from the primary to failover device and a failback mechanism from the failover device to the primary network adapter.

PCI Hot-Plug
Adds the capability to physically add, remove or replace a controller on a ``hot'' (running) system.

Plug and Play Manager
The new SCOadmin PnP Configuration Manager allows you to detect and configure ISA Plug and Play devices, including sound cards, network cards, and other devices.
