We're upgrading.


The new server has an Intel Zappa motherboard and a 100MHz Pentium, with 24M
RAM, an AHA-2940 and a 1GB SCSI drive, and a "Tiara" Arcnet NIC, running
NetWare 3.11.  There are 68%  cache buffers available.  The new workstations
are Intel Endeavor motherboards with 133MHz Pentiums, 16MB RAM more of those
Tiara Arcnet cards, Windows 95, and Novell Client32 for W95.

All the Arcnet cards in the workstations are configured for IO port 2E0,
IRQ2, and C8000 RAMBASE.  The PCI BIOS on the motherboards has been told
that IRQ9 is "in use by ISA card".  Tomorrow I will down the server and
check all the hardware settings there.

I originally set up the workstations in the shop, with NE2000 clone NICs,
set up a server with the appropriate name and user accounts, and logged them
all in.  Let 'em burn and thrash over a weekend with no problems.  Then I
took them out to the real world...

At each old workstation I logged in as Supervisor, and did "XCOPY C:\*.*
F:\BACKUPS\<username>\*.*/E".  When that was done, I set up the new
workstation, moved the Arcnet card from the old workstation, reconfigured
Client32 for the card (using the driver for "Novell/Arcnet compatible")
opened a DOS prompt and did "XCOPY F:\BACKUPS\<username>\*.* C:\OLDCOMP\*.*/
