IBM Token-Ring                    Part #817-000263-001 ** 
 
 There is a change made in all PROM Software to load the entire 
Boot Image File from the server to the Workstation memory, then 
execute from there; if there is 512K or more in the Workstation. 
If there is less than 512K of memory in the Workstation then get 
the Boot Image a sector at a time from the server.  In the case 
of the IBM Token-Ring however, there must be 512K memory in the 
workstation. 
 
 If you are interested in purchasing the new Remote Boot EPROM 
contact either the Novell NetWare Center or your Novell dealer 
and indicate the above part #'s for the EPROMs needed. 
 
* The Advanced NetWare 68 IBM NIC EPROM Part #817-000242-001 Rev. 
B can be used on either the standard NIC part #810-000056-000 or 
the static protected NIC part #810-000086-000. 
 
** Please note that this is a new EPROM now available.
