Thanks! What I wrote was that I hadn't heard of a bug, and I've been running NetWare 386 on a 486 25MHz machine since August. As of today, I have a 486 33MHz machine with an EISA bus ready to set up and beta test. Hopefully this time there won't be any hardware crashes. :-) >>In article <91042.192216ALG106@psuvm.psu.edu> ALG106@psuvm.psu.edu writes: >>>The company I work for was thinking of getting a new fileserver - >>>we currently have a 33MHz 386.

I am currently using a beta version of a 486 33 EISA machine. To my knowledge, Novell has one that they are certifying. The certification process takes awhile. Who knows how many 486 33MHz EISA machines are attempting to get certified? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Karin Coffee Intel Supercomputer Systems Division Network/System Administration 15201 NW Greenbrier Parkway The LAN Lords Beaverton, OR 97201 karinc@isc.intel.com (503) 629-7693 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
