Hi,
   I'm new to this group so apologies if this has already been covered in depth.
My current problem is trying to get a cluster of PCs running MSDOS (probably
version 5.0) to boot from a central server. The central server is again a PC
but has to run SCO Unix. The cluster is connected using ethernet with the
WD8003 card. I assume what is required will be a boot ROM for the ethernet card
and some boot daemon running on the server. Can anyone point me in the right
direction please.
                      Cheers
                            Paul
