SCSI works just fine in ISA or MCA servers. The trick is finding the RIGHT DCB. Hint... Novell does not make them. PROCOMP does. The setup and operation of these DCBS are a pleasure with PROCOMPs DCBSET utility. What is more, they are less expensive than the Novell offerings (only the Novell offerings aren't released yet). Call Lel at Procomp for more details (216) 234-NETS. The products and the technical support are first rate. By the way, I wrote an article on this subject which appears in the current (February, 1990) Patches and Fixes section (why it is there I do not know) of LAN Magazine. Check it out if you want the nitty gritty on how to install these DCBs.
