Abstract: MULTIPLE FORE ATM ADAPTERS do NOT WORK with NETWARE DRIVER


SYMPTOM:

When trying to load driver for second card (referred to as ATM slot = 1), get one (1) of the two (2) following messages:


PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:


FIX:

Dual "Fore" adapters work with the FAT drivers (forefp2e.lan, 2/12/98) when the PCI IRQ settings are adjusted so that the two (2) Fore cards are not sharing an interrupt with anything else.
This means assigning everything else to one IRQ.

Note: Only 9, 10, and 11 are available to reassign.

Also, when using ServeRAID and the Adaptec devices, the newer .ham drivers are more compatible than the older .dsk drivers, when using ForeSystems adapters.


DETAILS:

NetWare 5 will supposedly eliminate this problem.
