Pardon this first (and hopefully last) posting . . .
Having trouble configuring an Adaptec 2370 controller for a file
server running Novell Advanced Netware 2.01 (No SFT). The server
is an AST Premium\286 (AST Premium\286 BIOS 1.1; 1MB RAM, 2 65MB
HD's).
We have the AST running the controller properly under DOS 3.3,
but COMPSURF won't recognize the disk/controller combo. To
complicate matters, the AST SETUP drive table does not support
our drives (2 Miniscribe 3650R's).
I can't beleive that we've created a truly unique configuration:
does anyone know of such a combo working?
How? Who? Where?
The tech's at Novell, AST, and Adaptec are kicking this one
around like a soccer ball (conflicting patches and finger
pointing galore), so I submit to a higher authority . . . Any
ideas folks?!
NOTE: We are using Gateway G/Ethernet cards; all memory, IRQ,
cabling and addressing issues regarding this problem have been
eliminated; no peripherals or tape drives (yet); Hercules mono
card, mono TTL monitor.
PLUS: Once we hurdle this impass, does anyone know how to force
COMPSURF to interleave at 1:1? The lowest value it currently
accepts is 2:1.
2 cents: Creating a Novell news group gets my vote.
