The name of these files has changed to have a *.HAM file extension. The OSM binaries in this release will run on NetWare 4.11/4.2 with support pack 7 or later and on NetWare 5 with support pack 3A or later. Novell recommends that you install the latest support pack for your target OS version before installing this package. The latest support packs can be found by going to http://www.support.novell.com and searching for "support pack". Be aware that the installation program will modify your STARTUP.NCF file if the appropriate I2O LOAD statements do not already exist. Perform the following steps to install the OSMs: 1. After installing NetWare and the latest support pack, go to http://www.support.novell.com. Click on the File Finder function located just under the page's banner. Enter "i2o" in the function's dialog box, and then click on the "Find" button. This procedure will take you to the download page for the latest I2O driver kit.
