Adaptec AHA1640.DSK driver for NetWare 3.12
With the release of Novell's NetWare v3.12, Adaptec have released a new
version of the driver for the Adaptec AHA1640 MCA SCSI card. This new release, AHA1640.DSK
version 2.34 (21,749 bytes, dated 10/06/93 10:40) has been found to have problems in
certain configurations.
- If a server has more than 2 SCSI disks attached to an Adaptec AHA1640
card, the first time the SCSI bus is interrogated for available devices, it will only
report the first 2 disks. This can prevent spanned volumes from mounting first time, and
can stop the INSTALL.NLM program from seeing all the available disk devices on the system.
- On a server with more than 16MB of RAM, accessing the files on the
server's DOS boot partition can cause the server to hang. Examples of this include editing
STARTUP.NCF in the INSTALL.NLM program.
We are making Adaptec aware of these problems and hope to have an
updated driver from them to fix these problems in the near future, but in the mean-time we
recommend that AHA1640.DSK version 2.22 be used on systems that have more than 2 SCSI
disks off a single AHA1640 SCSI controller, or on systems with more than 16MB of RAM.
Version 2.22 of AHA1640.DSK (19,570 bytes, dated 26/07/91 12:00) can be
downloaded from File Area 37 of Apricot Insight BBS.
