[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] Model 80 Memory Expansion / Novell

Hi,

I posting this in hopes someone can help with an unexplained memory
problem I'm having on my Model 80 Workstation, attached to a Novell
Network.

I am unable to satisfy myself that a 4 MB memory expansion is operating.
I have not been able to get it to work with Novell and Windows 3, even
though I applied the fixes and other instructions that came with the
kit.  I always get an error upon running Windows about the Novell
IPX version being wrong.

This involved the 3077 option with 2 MB and the 5213 with 2 more MB.
I think I followed the instructions correctly.  I tried several
possibilites and discovered different results when booting off the
harddrive or a floppy.  The memory check never noticed the memory
when booting off the harddrive.  If I included the DOSMEMDD.SYS device
when booting off the harddrive the memory check worked.  Still Windows
failed to come up right.  Is there anyone running IBM who has run into this?

Steve
