- 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
