[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 2000 with a Novell network.

STEVEG@MAINE.Bitnet.UUCP (07/12/87)

Has anyone installed a A2000 as a node on a Novell type network using the
standard interface boards on the PC side??
     
How well does it work???
     
(everyone seems to be talking about hanging Amigas up to Sun networks
 but no one has noticed that a lot of businesses seem to be going with
novell networks.)
     
     
one other thing,
Has anyone used a standard PC harddrive with a ST506 interface board
on the PC side, with a Partition for AmigaDog???
How well does it work?? Any bugs??? (as in crashes if both the
PC and the Amiga try to access the drive at the same time?
     
Thanks.....

Yes, this was done by Commodore Germany for the Hannover Faire, and
apparently works just as you would expect.

I've done this - works fine.
