Using NetWare and the Host Adapter
This section contains useful information on using NetWare and
your host adapter.
Using Removable Media
The adpu320.ham driver module fully supports removable-media
disk drives, including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is
treated as a standard SCSI hard disk, with some exceptions:
■ The driver recognizes and registers only media with
512 bytes/sector.
■ NetWare allows you to mount/dismount the media and to
lock/unlock the media.
NetWare’s monitor.nlm program supports several removable-media
options. To view and configure these options:
1 Load monitor.nlm to display the various options.
2 Select Disk Information. All system disk drives appear.
3 Select the removable-media device. The following drive status
items appear:
