- ========================================================================
- INSTALLING ON NETWARE V3.11
- ========================================================================
-
- There is an additional step required in order for ACS to work with
- Novell Netware V3.11. It is required that all volumes on any file
- server to be accessed have the MacIntosh name space added. This is
- accomplished by typing at the fileserver console:
-
- :ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME [VNAME]
-
- Where VNAME is the name of the volume to add the name space to.
- Each volume on the file server must have this step performed on it.
- For instance, if you had a file server with three volumes, named SYS,
- WORK, and PLAY you would have to type:
-
- :ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME SYS
- :ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME WORK
- :ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME PLAY
-
- After the name space has been added it will be added permanently
- and will not have to be added again. The only other thing that must be
- added is a line in the STARTUP.NCF file. This is accomplished by
- entering the INSTALL console utility and going to SYSTEM OPTIONS,
- selecting edit STARTUP.NCF and adding the following:
-
- LOAD MAC
-
- After these changes have been made to the STARTUP.NCF file you
- must save the changes by hitting ESC then RETURN. Once these steps
- have been performed you will be able to start up your Amigas and log
- into a file server.

- SETTING ADDRESSES ON LAN-ROVER ETHERNET CARDS
- ========================================================================
-
- The LAN-ROVER Ethernet card from ASDG does not have unique address
- ROM's on the card. As a result the ethernet address is not stored on
- the card. The only way to set the address is to modify the device
- drivers tooltype ADDRESS to reflect the address intended for that
- ethernet node.
-
- To modify the tooltype under AmigaDOS 2.0, open the EXPANSION
- drawer through Workbench. Look for the icon ASDGEnet and select it by
- clicking on the icon. Once selected pull down the ICONS menu to the
- INFORMATION... option. You should then see a list of tooltypes. The
- default address should be FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F0. Change this address since
- each workstation requires a unique address. After changing the
- tooltype select SAVE.
-
- Re-boot your Amiga and everything should work marvelous.

- ========================================================================
- PRINTING ON THE AMIGA: Differences between PC/AMIGA
- ========================================================================
-
- One of the major differences in text file format between PC's and
- the AMIGA is the fact that PC's break lines with two control characters
- instead of just one. PC's use the sequence CR/LF while Amigas use only
- the LF character. One manifestation of this problem is either getting
- lines that are double spaced when printed on the Amiga or lines that
- flow diagonally down the page.
-
- For Hewlett-Packard Laserjets this can be eliminated by sending a
- escape sequence that converts LF -> CR/LF during printing. The escape
- sequence is ESC&k3G. This will convert either CR or LF into a CR+LF
- sequence.
