WESTERN DIGITAL "PLUS" FAMILY LAN ADAPTER BOARD DRIVERS FOR USE WITH NOVELL ADVANCED NETWARE v2.0a RELEASE INFORMATION Version 2.09 11 November 1988 This Western Digital driver for Novell Advanced NetWare v2.0a has been tested by Western Digital and is fully certified by Novell. VERSION HISTORY -- Version 2.09 (Current Version, November 1988) -- Changes were made to meet Novell certification requirements. There were no problems reported by any users with the previous version. -- Version 2.08 (June/September 1988) -- The server driver and the shell drivers now operate with Ethernet and StarLAN Micro Channel bus adapters as well as with XT/AT bus adapters. Problems were fixed that: o prevented interoperation with Ethernet adapters from certain other manufacturers o caused workstations to stop when receiving certain queries from Novell Diagnostic Utilities -- Version 2.07 (June 1988) -- An error in one configuration table entry has been corrected. -- Version 2.06 (May 1988) -- Two problems that were present in driver version 2.05 have been corrected: o A server or workstation would occasionally stop functioning when the network was under extremely heavy load. o Certain application programs that used the Novell NETBIOS interface would not operate properly. The following improvements have been made: o The RAM base address in the workstation shell is changed from C4000 (hex) to D0000 to minimize conflicts with other adapters (especially VGA, EGA). o The driver operates with LAN adapter boards that have 32 Kbyte RAM buffers as well as the original adapter boards with 8 Kbyte RAM buffers. o Workstation transmit speeds are improved.
