I am trying to set up a Netware 2.2 network using a 100MB IDE drive, and have run into a snag. The drive is set up as drive type 48 (user defined), so I get the Invalid ROM Parameter Table message one expects. Under 2.15 I would pull out Disk Manager N, and all would be hunky dory. But I'm not sure if I can do that with 2.2, and I would prefer not to do so if I can avoid it. Does anyone out there know if DMN will work with 2.2? If so, how? If not, does ontrack expect to ship an update? Is there another way? Should I give it up now? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Jamie Bradford jfb@naucse.cse.nau.edu

Setting up IDE drives with NW is tricky. Use a capacity in the CMOS drive table that closely matches but does not exceed the formatted capacity of the IDE drive. Let the IDE do the sector head xlat and leave DMN out. Ken -- Ken Haynes, CNE 900 Support.... Novell Technical Support 7 Days a week/24 Hours a day UUCP: {nosun, sequent, tessi} kenh@techbook
