Using NetWare and the Host Adapter

This section contains useful information on using NetWare and your host adapter.

Using Removable Media

The adpt160m.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 only recognizes and registers 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. Follow
these steps 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:
