[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Novell ANW 2.15C troubles w/AHA1542B

bote@csense.uucp (John Boteler) (10/24/90)

I just spent the night plodding through Novell's
'kernel linking for idiots' (NETGEN to you and me)
and finally arrived at a working system including the
new Wren IV SCSI disk hooked to an AHA1542B adapter.

Copying data to the new SCSI volume from the first
ST506 disk using both 'ncopy' and 'copy' resulted in
randomly corrupted data. Not a good sign. :(

I had initially set the DMA transfer rate up to 6.7MB/sec
thinking this would work. I have not had a chance to test
the system now that the Adaptec has been returned to the
factory setting of 5.7MB/sec. This is in an AT running
at 10MHz CPU speed.

As a CYA measure, does the ASW1140 Adaptec driver for Netware
work properly with the 'B' revision adapter? Other
known incompatibilities I should know about?

Thank you much!

(for a number of reasons, please email to me).
