Tech Tip #98.001
TECH TIP
DECEMBER 31, 1990
Product: AMI BIOS
Problem: Incompatibility with user defined Novell 386 Netware,
Version 3.1.
Problem Description: With the new version of Novell (386 Netware,
Version 3.1) user defined drive type feature available
under AMI BIOS does not work.
Explanation: The AMI BIOS keeps user defined drive parameters in
ROM address space and sets the pointer INT 41H
(for drive C:) and INT 46H (for drive D:) accordingly.
INT 41H points to F7FA:003D (if user define C: present).
INT 46H points to F7FA:004D (if user define d: present).
Novell does not work with these pointers, but it works
if the pointers are as follows:
INT 41H ---> F000: 7FDD (basically same as F7FA:003D)
INT 46H ---> F000: 7FED (basically same as F7FA:004D)
Solution: USERNOV.COM can be used to change the pointer(s) and
make Novell work.
Future Plans: AMI BIOS will be modified to be compatible with
Novell Netware, Version 3.1. The expected release
date is not yet known.
