- Notes:
-
- (1) ELS II v2.15 allows linking of an Appletalk board for LAN B, as
- well as a remote, asych driver for LAN B or LAN C. Thus ELS II
- can theoretically have 3 LAN drivers.
-
- (2) The maximum of 2.2 gigabytes of disk storage per file server, like
- many NetWare 286 maximums is the theoretical maximum. There are many
- other factors that will affect this maximum.
-
- (3) VAP = Value Added Process, a program which runs in the NetWare file server
- itself using the file servers resources. Many third party programs for
- NetWare are implemented as VAPs.
-
- (4) You will need to acquire the necessary boot PROMs to support remote boot
- of your workstations, these are not provided by Novell as part of NetWare.
