Apple 640 manual Conserving memory, Mapping drive letters

Conserving memory

During NetWare client installation, you add the line

CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT

to the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This command then loads four programs into DOS memory—LSL.COM, MACODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, and VLM.EXE (in this order). To conserve memory in the lower DOS region, you may wish to edit the STARTNET.BAT file (installed with your NetWare software) to load those four programs with the LOADHIGH (LH) command. See your DOS documentation for details on manually optimizing DOS memory. (Be aware that the Microsoft utility MEMMAKER does not work with the DOS-compatible Macintosh.)

Mapping drive letters

When you map a network resource as a drive letter, the Macintosh PC Setup control panel recognizes that that drive letter is unavailable for use as a shared folder. However, when the network no longer uses the drive letter, PC Setup still shows it as unavailable for shared folders until you restart the PC environment.

In addition, if a drive letter is being shared before you start up the PC environment and Novell needs to use that drive letter, then the Novell network drive will take precedence over that shared drive letter.

For further information, see your Novell installation and administration manuals, or contact your network adminstrator.
