TECHNICAL UPDATE February 26, 1987 ==================================== A CURE FOR ADDRESING/INTERRUPT CONFLICTS WITH NOVELL SHELL ================================================ If you have an addressing or interrupt conflict with SMC ARCNET and the Novell Advanced Netware Shell ANET2,ANET3, then use the new SHELLDRV.OBJ file and the following procedure. It will allow you to choose 1 of 18 different Address/Interrupt combinations for your shell . DRIVER -- ADDRESS -- MODIFICATION PROCEDURE # (HEX) IRQ BASE RAM ======================================= ===================================== 1. Put the new SHELLDRV.OBJ disk in Drive A and the Novell GENSH1 00 2 2EOh D000:0 disk in drive B. 01 2 2FOh D000:0 2. Type the following at the A> prompt 02 3 2EOh D000:0 "A> copy shelldrvr.obj B:\SMC", 03 3 2FOh D000:0 This replaces the older shelldrvr 04 4 2EOh D000:0 with the new one. 05 4 2FOh D000:0 3. Replace disk in drive A with a disk 06 5 2EOh D000:0 containing DEBUG. At the A> prompt 07 5 2FOh D000:0 type the following: 08 7 2EOh D000:0 "A> DEBUG B:\SMC\SHELLDRV.OBJ", 09 7 2FOh D000:0 4. At the DEBUG prompt"-", 0A 2 300h C000:0 Type "-E403", 0B 3 2FOh C000:0 0C 4 2EOh C000:0 5. The display will look like this: "nnnn:0403 00._" (n-not important) 0D 5 2EOh C000:0 6. Type in the Driver Choice number as 0E 7 300h D000:0 as a two digit HEX number, 0F 2 300h E000:0 10 3 2FOh E000:0 7. At the DEBUG prompt, type "-W", 11 4 2EOh E000:0 8. Then type "Q" to end debug session. Thats all there is to it. After the debug session is complete, you will have to do two things: 1 - Use the Novell program "GENSH" to generate the new ANET2,ANET3, and NETBIOS programs. 2 - You must set the jumpers and switches on the ARCNET board to reflect the shell driver option chosen.
