     3If you have problems with one of the !MultiMac drivers, the developer may ask you to
     4install the trace version and provide a trace dump.

    4 == Installing the trace version ==
     6== Installing the Trace Version of the Driver ==
    57
     8To install the trace version, copy the following files from the trace
     9directory of the distribution package to the directories on your boot
     10drive as indicated below:
    611
    7 == Capturing the trace  ==
     12 * R8169.OS2 -> \IBMCOM\MACS
     13 * R8169.NIF -> \IBMCOM\MACS
     14 * R8169.SYM -> \IBMCOM\MACS
     15 * TRC00F8.TFF -> \OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE
     16
     17To enable tracing, add these two lines to your CONFIG.SYS:
     18{{{
     19  TRACEBUF=512 /M=WRAP,QUEUED,NODTI /D=ALL
     20  TRACE=ON 248
     21}}}
     22You must reboot to make the new driver active and enable tracing. This
     23assumes that you have already setup this driver using mpts.exe. You do
     24not need to setup the driver using mpts.exe more than once, even if you
     25copy new versions of the driver into \IBMCOM\MACS. You just need to reboot
     26to start using the new version.
     27
     28== Capturing the Trace  ==
     29
     30To capture the trace dump, open a command window and type:
     31
     32   TRACEFMT
     33
     34From the file menu choose save formatted trace and send that file to
     35the developer.
