And I figure Unfortunatly, Netware 386 3.1 'out of the box' only supports SCSI in a strange way. You have to use a Disk Coprocessor Board (DCB). This is not bad as long as your SCSI drive is OK. Other controllers require a special driver from the manufacturer. The DCB has fairly good performance, and ProComp makes the best one IMHO. Storage Dimensions sells combination drive, board, driver Ask if the driver is OK for 3.1. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Ackerman | It is impossible to make anything bdgltd!ela@dsi.com or ...!dsinc!bdgltd!ela| foolproof beacause fools are #include | SO ingenious!
