- QUESTION: The NetWare 386 v3.1 System Administration manual pg 136
- (top of page) says "use the setup program to specify hard
- disk types". We have only seen setup programs that let you
- select two drives (0 and 1 or C and D) and that applies to
- one controller.
-
- What selections do you need to make for drives on different
- channel controllers?
-
- ANSWER: The only secondary ISA disk controller we support is the one
- used in Compaq machines. This is Compaq's own controller
- (not manufactured by Western Digital, as in the past).
- Using a hardware setting on the board (see your Compaq
- documentation), you set the controller up as a secondary
- controller. Afterwards, you simply run the Compaq setup
- program and it will allow you to choose the drive types for
- the secondary controller.
-
- Be aware that with 386 NetWare v3.1 you must use the 386
- v3.0 ISADISK.DSK driver if you are installing a secondary
- ISA disk controller. This driver is available on NetWire.
- The file name is ISA30.ZIP in Library 16. The v3.1 ISA disk
- driver will not load a second time. This problem has been
- reported to Engineering.
-
- (X) This information was verified by Engineering.
