Tips on using Orchid PCnet Software
by

How to stop Orchid PCnet from crashing the server every two days.
1) Use only Orchid PCnet version 3.0A software.
Can be used with DOS 2.1 3.0 3.1 !!! REALLY
2) Do not use the cache program that comes with the Orchid PCnet
version 3.0a or 3.0b . This cache will thrash your drives!!!
3) Instead use the Orchid Cache.exe program version 2.2.
You will have to call Orchid to get the program.

4) Do not use Vdisk.sys or Extended memory on the server. But it is ok to
use them on a workstation.
5) Expanded (EMS) memory such as the AST Rampage board works like a charm
on the server, with no problems. I use 2 2meg boards on my system with
no problems on the server. 3megs are for the cache in Expanded memory
and the balance (1meg) is used for the emulated extended memory. Use
only the FASTDISK programs which come with the board for the ramdisk
on the server.
6) I have included sample server config.sys and autoexec.bat files
as examples for you to use. This information is not supported by
Orchid Technology or for that matter by myself. But is sure works
for me 24 hours per day 7 days a week non-stop.
Enjoy your new freedom
