Tech Bulletin: IBM PC Compatibility w/ Remote Reset Boot EPROM
NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN
TITLE: IBM PC Compatibility w/ Remote Reset Boot EPROM
DOCUMENT ID: TB.P.152
DATE: 9/22/86
PRODUCT: NetWare
PRODUCT VERSION: Advanced NetWare Version 2.0 Remote Reset
SUPERSEDES: NA
SYMPTOM: NA
ISSUE/PROBLEM
Prior to Advanced NetWare version 2.0, the Remote System Reset feature
was only supported on IBM brand PC workstations. Because of some changes
that were made to the code in the Advanced NetWare Remote Reset Boot
EPROMs versions 2.0 and above, some IBM PC compatible machines can now be
used as workstations with the Remote System Reset feature.
The ROM BIOS requirements for the Remote System Reset feature in IBM PC
compatibles are as follows:
1. When the PC is powered up, the BIOS must search the User ROM Address
Area. If a User ROM is found, the BIOS then must make a subroutine
call on the User ROM (CS:03). A return to the BIOS will be made
from the User ROM. See the IBM Technical Reference Manual for a
detailed description of the User ROM area and specifications.
2. After the BIOS finishes all its initialization and its diagnostics,
it must execute an INT 19h instruction (Boot Strap Loader).
For information concerning your ROM BIOS, contact your PC
supplier/manufacturer to confirm whether your PC supports these features.
Limited testing at Novell indicates that the Compaq PC portables, the
Sperry PC, the Santa Clara PC terminal, and the PC Solutions PC will work
with Advanced NetWare Remote Reset Boot EPROMs versions 2.0 and above.
