The latest Farallon software is compatible with ODI drivers and works well
with Novell's LAN WorkPlace for DOS. Although if you load all these TSRs you
don't end up with much real memory left. By using the Farallon software with
LWP and Novell's NFS for LWP you should be able to make a CD-ROM visible to
a wide variety of clients. If you need to find out memory requirements or
which cards have been tested let me know and I'll point to the right person
in DCNS to ask.
