Yes, I've worked with Netware for a lot of my professional life. I
think it's a shame that it's gone down the tubes. Until recently (while
I've been in America) I didn't want to admit that Novell is going
nowhere. They shouldn't really BE going nowhere, they have a good
product(s), but nobody likes to buy Novell anymore :-(.
I just don't like the idea of xtraining to NT/W2K, so UNIX/Linux is
hopefully a workable option for me!

Actually, my 2906 card doesn't have it's bios enabled by default
(assuming it even has a bios) because it's not meant to be used by
bootable devices. Therefore it doesn't even appear on the PCs startup
screen. I'm wondering whether there's a way to turn on the bios on this
card so that I can see it at startup?
I read the manual for it. Apparently it only comes with a DOS program
on floppy for the SCSISelect program. How am I supposed to run this
from Linux? DOSEmulator probably, I don't have it installed. Probably
not worth the effort to hassle with it.
