- After much stuffing around i finnaly worked out a way to get almost any
- cd roms drive to at least work of a novell 2.2 server
- i hope this helps out a few guys
-
- My setup was this:
-
- 386 33mhz File server Running Novell 2.2 Non-Dedicated mode
- WD-7000 SCSI Host adapter with 3.36 bios roms and drivers
- Micropolis 668 M/B SCSI drive set up as scsi 0,0
- NEC 85 CDrom scsi 3,0
- Panasonic CD rom scsi 4,0
- Archive 2150L scsi tape streamer 5,0
- MAP ASSIST software from Fresh Technologies
- PCBoard 14.5/10 from Clark Development
- 386 40 no hard disk 4 comports desqview 386 2.4 running 4 pcboard nodes
-
- the hard drive is formated and split into 3 Volumes as Netware 2.2 has a limit
- of 255 M/B max per volume
- The server is booted from floppy disk the config files i was using is something
- like this
-
- Dos 5 system on floppy
-
- *config.sys
- device=sstbio.sys wd/sst scsi device driver for host adapter
- device=sstcdrom.sys wd/sst generic cd rom driver
-
- *autoexec.bat
- prompt $p$g
- set comspec=f:\dos5\command.com set command.com path to copy of dos 5 on
- hard disk stops programs that need to
- load command.com going to floppy
- net$os Novell boot programs starts fileserver
- share /f:4096 /l:60 Load share.exe this is need to share
- files with other users
- mscdex /d:$$TCDROM /m:60 /k /l:d /s Microsoft Extensions driver
- installs cd rom as dos directory
- d: and e: for 2nd cd rom drive
- net5 Load network driver protocol
- f:\login\login supervisor Log in to network
- MAHOST Map Assist program to install cd rom
- as a network drive
- there are some switches and options
- after mahost read the MAP Assist

-
- *include this in workstations autoexec.bat after net.com is loaded
- MACLIENT Map Assist driver for workstations to access shared
