129MBs?  I seriously doubt that.  Probably 128MBs.

Did you try entering a number from 1-8?  Might be worth a
try.

No, the Install doesn't really care.  The reason this
question is asked is the .LDI file (a configuration file)
that is associated with this .LAN says this is a required
parameter for this driver.  Enter a number as requested,
keep trying until you get the right one.

Also, in the future you might want to post questions to
comp.os.netware.*.  fido.novell is pretty much dead.
