Here is an example of the aic7870. dsk driver being loaded with command line options (if loaded from drive A): load a:\netware\v3_1x\aic7870 verbose=y slot=22 4-12 Novell NetWare Installation Using NetWare and the Host Adapter This section contains useful information on using NetWare and your host adapter. Using Removable Media The aic7870. dsk driver module fully supports removable-media disk drives, including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is treated as a standard SCSI hard disk, with some exceptions: s The driver only recognizes and registers media with 512 bytes/sector. NetWare allows you to mount/dismount the media, and to lock/unlock the media. s NetWare's monitor. nlm program supports several removable media options.

Dismounted drives are inactive and cannot be accessed. Before you eject your current media, you should first dismount it (menu choice 5). When the media status is dismounted, you can eject the media. However, NetWare does not allow you to dismount it if the media is locked. To insert your new media, wait for the drive to spin-up, and then select the Drive Mount option.

If the media is Locked, it cannot be ejected when you press the Eject button. Verify (aic7870. dsk driver only) Read After Write Verify (menu choice 2) is set to Hardware Level by default. The option can also be set on the command line, see Using the Load Command Line Options on page 4-7. The available options are defined as follows: Read After Write Verify Option Setting Disabled Hardware Level Function All writes to SCSI disk drives are with the SCSI Write command (2Ah).
