NCM System Problems Fixed with Metasys Software,
Release 9.01 or Later
NCM Reboots - Some Metasys ARCNET jobs experience random
NCM reboots. The symptoms indicate a repeating series of messages
in the NCM error log file culminating in a reboot due to lack of
acquired memory. Metasys Release 9.01 or later eliminates this
problem without replacing all the Thomas-Conrad ARCNET cards
with CCSI cards.
