Introduction
The Symbios Logic SDMS drivers for the Novell Netware operating system allow
you to utilize a Symbios Logic SCSI controller or processor, controlled by a Symbios
Logic SCSI BIOS, with NetWare. The SDMS software, coupled with a Symbios
Logic SCSI controller or processor, provides a SCSI solution within the NetWare
environment.
Separate drivers are provided for Novell NetWare v3.12, and Novell NetWare v4.xx.
The following information explains how to install and use the SDMS SCSI drivers
