When he trys to install the Aboveboard with the Arcnet installed (not the software, just the hardware) the Aboveboard can't find any useable memory area. Seems to work fine with the Arcnet card removed. He also has some sort of tape backup system installed - but that doesn't seem to affect the problem. He tried calling Intel and the local company that he bought the Novel system from - neither seemed to be able to help or willing to try to find out. I don't know a model number on the Arcnet card - but the Novel software he is using is ELS netware 286 level 1 if that means anything to anybody. That's all I know right now, but if someone thinks they can help I can get more details. Any help would be appreciated. Bob Dukelow dukelow@nosc.mil
