I have actually seen the product in operation. There are three essential
differences between straight Netware and Netware for OS/2.
1. The meory management, the avaialable physical memory must be splitt
between OS/2 and Netware. We found a practical minimum system had 32 Meg with
16 assigned each way, 48 meg was much better, but disk size will have its
usuall influence on that.
2. The disk driver as the physical disk must be shared betweeb OS/2 and
Netware. You have an OS/2 HPFS or FAT partition (or both) and a normal
Netware partition on the disk. Ours was Adaptec SCSI.
3. The Nic driver as that must also be shared between the two operating
systems. We were using 3Com 3C509 cards.
The Netware console is a text screen and that is managed by OS/2 quite nicely
either in a window or as full screen.
Regards,
Richard.
