This will force CDOS to not use or load anything into that region. 2) Reboot and reload Novell via the NETWARE command (check your manual for the actual name). If this works, then they say that your card is "memory addressed", and when you have this memory enabled for Concurrent's use, the netware driver will stomp all over the OS. The general tech support concensus is that your Novell cards should be IO addressed, and NOT memory addressed. If you have a memory addressed card, you will need to disable the memory used by the card so that CDOS will not load itself there. #include /* * This message was generated based on conversations with * tech support that I may or may not understand *fully*. * If you have access to C$erve, you should contact the * DR FORUM for detailed information. */ -- John "Frotz" Fa'atuai frotz%drivax@uunet.uu.net (email@domain) Digital Research, Inc. {uunet|amdahl}!drivax!frotz (bang!email) c/o MIS Dept.
