[comp.sys.novell] IDE Drives on Novell

philb@versyss.uucp (Phil Burtis) (05/15/91)

Am trying to get IDE drives to work under Novell on a PC to
later connect in to other systems.  Apparently a problem with
Novell whereby it will not recognize drive types 48 and 49
(the user definable entries) in setup.  Supposedly there are
patches one can install that allows it to in fact work with
types 48 and 49 (apparently fakes out the last place in CMOS
for the drive check to occur).  We need type 48 because we
have a large drive that does not fit within the standard
CMOS table.  If anyone knows of such a patch, please forward
either patch or info on where to get details.  Thank you.
