IV. NETWARE DRIVERS

DOS Drivers Not Supported

The following SDMS DOS drivers are not supported in the NetWare Environment.

• ASPICAM.SYS

• SCSIDISK.SYS

• SYMDISK.SYS

• DOSCAM.SYS

• MINICAM.SYS

• CDROM.SYS

When Using An SDMS 4.XX BIOS

The SDMS 4.XX BIOS supports two different configurations - default Boot
configuration and NVRAM configuration. Both configurations are supported.

Default Configuration

In default boot configuration, the 4.XX BIOS supports up to two Symbios Logic
8XX controllers. Disk devices are supported by the BIOS. Other SCSI devices are
not supported without additional DOS drivers.

NVRAM

If NVRAM is present on a controller with a 4.XX BIOS, the SDMSNETx.DSK
NetWare drivers use the on-board parameters to configure the Symbios Logic 8XX
controllers.

Supported DOS Drivers

Currently only the ASPI8XX.SYS driver is supported in a NetWare configuration
utilizing a 4.XX BIOS.

When Using No SDMS BIOS

The SDMSNETx.DSK driver operates properly on a system when no SDMS BIOS
is present. In this case, DOS must reside on a device which is not connected to a
Symbios Logic controller based host adapter. As an example, DOS could reside on
an IDE drive.
