There is a change made in all PROM Software to load the entire Boot Image
File from the server to the Workstation memory, then execute from there;
if there is 512K or more in the Workstation. If there is less than 512K
of memory in the Workstation then get the Boot Image a sector at a time
from the server. In the case of the IBM Token-Ring however, there must
be 512K memory in the workstation.
If you are interested in purchasing the new Remote Boot EPROM contact
either the Novell NetWare Center or your Novell dealer and indicate the
above part #'s for the EPROMs needed.
* The Advanced NetWare 68 IBM NIC EPROM Part # 817-000242-001 Rev. B
can be used on either the standard NIC part # 810-000056-000 or the
static protected NIC part # 810-000086-000.
** Please note that this is a new EPROM now available.
