[comp.dcom.lans] Novell F drive problem

MLWLG@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (02/14/89)

Hello,

I've been trying to install Novell on an turbo AT clone, with no success.
The PC has 2Meg of memory with a 40Meg hard drive and a 1.2Meg floppy.
For communications a PC-110 ARCNET (microsystems corp) card is inplace.

When attempting to install Novell, I reach the point of loading in the
NET$OS and the system hangs-up (ie, no sound to lights, except power lamps,
for a few moments), then it responds drive 00 not found.

Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreicated.

Thank You in advance,
Larry Muller

P.S. Please send responses via e-mail. (mlwlg@cunyvm).

From what it sounds like.

I have a feeling that your Turbo AT doesn't have a network compatible BIOS.
How old is it?  Maybe you could get an upgraded BIOS.

If it is not the BIOS, then I don't have much of an idea.
You are using Netware 286 right?  NOT Netware.  Right?
