Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX 3
Configurations for the Novell environment
Novell 4.11
There are two possible ways to configure the Scorpion 40 to work
with Novell 4.11, depending on which tape driver you use.
Configuration 1:
If you are using the existing Novell TAPEDAI driver
or a version of the NWTAPE driver created before 11/3/99, you must
change the Operating-System Configuration Dip switches so that
switches 5 and 8 are OFF, as shown in the table below. This is
different from their default settings (all switches ON).

Configuration 2:
If you use the
latest
Novell NWTAPE driver
(available on the Novell web site), the Operating-System
Configuration Dip switches should be left in their default positions (all
switches ON). From the administrator workstation, place the new
NWTAPE driver in the same directory as the TAPEDAI driver (usually
the system directory). Edit any .ncf files, such as autoexec.ncf, which
call the TAPEDAI driver and replace calls to TAPEDAI with
NWTAPE. Do not delete the TAPEDAI driver, because it may come
in handy in resolving future problems.
