Hello,

I'm installing NW 386 v3.11 on a Epson 386/20 with a Procompt DCB that is
_supposed to_ work with the disk driver dsk.drv supplied with the 386
disks.  Previouslyu this server had Novell 2.25 on it using the same
configuration.  

I started up the server from disk like the documentation shows, named it,
assigned the server an address and then began loading the disk driver.
Load lika-so:

load a:\dsk.drv

It says:

Loading module DCB.DSK
	Netware 386 DCB Device Driver
	Version 3.11  February 12, 1991
	Copyright 1991, Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.

Disk Coprocessor Initialization Error:
------>>>*Read Routine had error Reading FirmWare
Module Initialization Failed.
Module DCB.DSK NOT Loaded.


Any ideas?   Should I look into replacing the board?  

One other thing:  When I first tried loading the driver, I used an outdated
driver that came with the board (V1.900105) It told me that the module was
using 13 outdated API calls.  And that I should upgrade.  It also failed
and gave the above message.  

Thanks Much,
