QUESTION:      The NetWare 386 v3.1 System Administration manual pg 136
               (top of page) says "use the setup program to specify hard
               disk types".  We have only seen setup programs that let you
               select two drives (0 and 1 or C and D) and that applies to
               one controller. 

               What selections do you need to make for drives on different
               channel controllers? 

ANSWER:        The only secondary ISA disk controller we support is the one
               used in Compaq machines.  This is Compaq's own controller
               (not manufactured by Western Digital, as in the past). 
               Using a hardware setting on the board (see your Compaq
               documentation), you set the controller up as a secondary
               controller.  Afterwards, you simply run the Compaq setup
               program and it will allow you to choose the drive types for
               the secondary controller.

               Be aware that with 386 NetWare v3.1 you must use the 386
               v3.0 ISADISK.DSK driver if you are installing a secondary
               ISA disk controller.  This driver is available on NetWire. 
               The file name is ISA30.ZIP in Library 16.  The v3.1 ISA disk
               driver will not load a second time.  This problem has been
               reported to Engineering.
