Page 34 highlights

Note If you are going to install NetWare® 286, version 2.2, and you plan to assign a user-defined drive type for your drive, you must install the NetWare IDE drivers (IDE.DSK and IDE.OBJ). You can obtain these drivers by downloading IDE286.ZIP from Netwire in CompuServe.® Alternatively, you can select one of the predefined hard disk drive types that most closely matches the drive you are installing. The Advanced System Setup Option When you select this option from the Main Menu, you see the Advanced System Setup screen. From this screen, you can select the options that allow you to configure the computer's cache memory and shadow memory, and define options that control the advanced chipset. Note The Advanced System Setup options can be automatically configured by system. to avoid malfunctions, let the system configure these options. Configuring Cache Memory You use the Memory Cache option to enable or disable automatic configuration of your external cache memory. Enabling cache memory improves system performance, especially in large data retrieval and processing environments. If you choose to configure your cache memory (rather than let the system automatically configure it), you can define the burst wait states and two non-cacheable areas of memory. However, it's a good idea to let the system automatically configure your cache memory. 2-6 Running the SETUP Program
