- Page 3 DSK Files for the HP SCSI Driver Where stated in this document, it is important to use the files that are provided by HP rather than the files that come with NetWare. If you are using a Network Interface Card whose .LAN file did not come with NetWare, you may have to modify a line in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to show the correct path to the subdirectory on the hard disk.
- Page 4 Use this driver: Superdisk 3.0 10/31/94, filename: smc8232.lan, version 1.13 for NetWare 3.12. Be sure to call for latest driver. Interrupts (IRQS) to Avoid Some systems may not work well when the LAN card is configured to use interrupts 2, 7, 9, or 15. IRQ 2 and 9 are cascading interrupts, NetWare uses 7 and 15 as software interrupts.
