- Advanced NetWare/286 drive limitations.
-
- There seems to be quite a bit of confusion about which drives are
- supported with Advanced NetWare/286. Current versions of Advanced
- NetWare/286 will support only the following drives:
-
- 1.Drive(s) running off of the internal IBM PC/AT supplied
- controller.
-
- This includes true PC/AT compatibles. Refer to the
- "P.C. Compatible Test Results" for AT compatibles
- that have been tested by Novell in 286 mode. This list
- was sent out in mid February 1986. The drives used
- must be configured using the PC/AT "SETUP"
- program. The drive MUST match the BIOS option in
- the "SETUP" program as close as possible. If special
- software must be loaded to "trick" the BIOS to see all
- of the heads and cylinders, it will not work with
- Advanced NetWare/286. NetWare reads the
- configuration directly from the BIOS drive table.
-
- 2.Drives that are supported by the Novell Disk Coprocessor.
-
- These drives include Novell-made subsystems from
- January 1984 on. Check your 286 installation manual
- for exact models.
-
- Drives that run on NetWare/86 and Advance NetWare/86 that required
- a software driver to be loaded are NOT currently supported under
- Advanced NetWare/286.
