7361.0. "Need your help !!!" by VAXRIO::63228::Asouza (Andre Langkjer - DIGITAL CSC-Brazil) Fri Feb 21 1997 08:03

Hi,

        I have a customer that has a problem with a Seagate ST14207N 
(4.2Gb).

        Errors appears on the disk frequently. He recover the disk and it 
looks like good, but after some time the problem appear again.

        He has changed the disk, and the motherboard, but it isn't 
resolved.

        He has NetWare 4.10, with 50 users, 48Mb of memory, he is using a 
3com adapter, and it isn't with SFP3. The video adapter is Cirrus Logic 
1Mb. The PC is a Prioris XL 5133, his BIOS version is 2.07, and the version 
of AIC7870 driver is 2.08.

        I ask him to set the switch in the SCSI Utility (EXTENDED BIOS 
TRANSLATION FOR DOS DRIVERS > 1Gb) to off, he did, but the problem is still 
there.

        Does anybody have any idea ???

        Thanks...

                                                Andre Langkjer.

	Last year there was an issue with Netware 4.10 and the AIC7870 driver. What I would advise is the following : Try BIOS 2.08. Also SCU 1.12. The new driver on the Adaptec website has the latest driver version 2.10. Steve Kaniowski Region Support [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
