Hello everyone, me again.

I have set up many 3.11 servers, and have never had this problem before:

	Zenith 386 (not sure which model -- each Zenith seems to be different)
	 	as a server.
	Zenith ESDI Disk Controller (DTC)
	
I am able to run 3.11 pretty much successfully except -- random characters
appear constantly on the console.  The characters don't start until I load
the ISADISK driver that came with Netware.

I have:
	1. Used two completely independent sets of disks, to check for
	   software corruption.
	2. Swapped in an identical DTC controller.

Other than the character garbage, everything works beautifully -- I can log 
on, transfer files, etc.

Does anyone have any ideas for a fix?  Is there a special "Zenith ESDI" 
driver?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!
