I have a server set up with similar software and hardware.  I had mirrored
200MB Conner CP3204 IDE drives and the NetWare release was SFT 2.15c.
The DMN software had a slight problem in the installation procedure,
but nothing too tough to figure out.  Their BBS had the answer.  Also, 
I'm not sure the problem exists installing on an Advanced system.

The system has been running smoothly for a few months now.

I would definitely recommend an additional 2-4 MB of RAM for drives of that
size (ie. 6-8 MB total).
