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.
