In playing with various configurations for running windows on top of Sun's PC-NFS I can either get windows to hang the machine at startup or when I attempt to access a network drive. The problem would appear to be hardware specific as it has not manifested itself on other dos box's running the same software on the same network. Has anyone developed a script that would allow a (relatively) trouble free installation of Windows 3 with PC-NFS. Any documented experiences forwarded to me would be greatly appreciated. I believe that there is a recent release of PC-NFS that is meant to be more windows aware, (3.5?). It is not currently available in oz. Does it make this combination less painful? Any feedback on this product would also be appreciated. Useful replies, if any, will be compostited in a future news artical.
