Our sad-but-t. experience is that what you heard is true.  So far
we have tried WYSE /286, Cordata AT and (er, um) the IBM XT 286,
and the stuff works only on the latter.  Catch #2 is that if you
get an enhanced AT (non-dedicated netware 286 can run at 8 and 
10 Mhz, by the way) you had better get a better drive than the one
that comes with that machine to be a file server.  Seems like the
optimal deal at present is a 6 Mhz AT, an 8Mhz or better turbo
switch, and a 30 m.s. or better drive.  (and extended mem)
('course if you copy the IBM ROM you could . . . mmph. . rmphw. . .
