I would suggest a ritual sacrifice.

The official announcement of the UnixWare 1.1 Upgrade Promotion was posted on
the CompuServe UnixWare Forum this Thursday, Dec. 9.  Among other things, it
says "Customers who register UnixWare 1.0 products prior to June 1994 will
receive UnixWare 1.1 upgrades at no charge".  I don't know why no announcement
was made here.

On a related note, Novell's Guide to UnixWare, by Chris Negus and Larry
Schumer, published by Novell/Sybex, is scheduled for release on December 15.
Both these events should go a LONG way toward preventing many of the above
mentioned problems.  I know I'm certainly sick to death of shooting myself
in the foot!

 What make this effort maddening is that I have had ISC, SCO & OS/2
 working on this box at one point or another with out any problems!!

 I was using the 3.5 disks then tried the 5.25 thinking maybe i had
 a bum disk or something...

 sigh...I feel like jumping into /dev/null

why isn't tech support open 24hrs a day 7day a week ?!?!  8-/
at least by email??

I've also tried to use lynx (since i'm phoning from home onto this system)
to access the WWW on novell. But when I get to the NSE part to query 
about this problem, lynx core dumps...
looks like i have to go down and use one of the xterm there....

Could someone with access to CompuServe download this announcement
to this newsgroup?
Thanks,

Here is my trials on getting UnixWare working, there are some
interesting events that occur during the install!!

Short description:

	The NEC 3Xp MultiSpin CD-ROM Works with UnixWare!!

	The label on the back of the NEC 3Xp for termination seems
	to be wrong.
	It indicates that termination is on when the switch is down.
	This is not so!!! (or until i get a SCSI II terminator this monday
	to prove it)

	My NEC 3Xp switch setting: 
	up-up-up-down (Always OFF, Termination OFF, SCSI II, MultiSpin ON)

	UnixWare installed with no problem on my 1.2GB SCSI drive.
	(Toshiba MK538FB 1170 cyls).


Long description: (Warning! lots of verbage ;)

    NEC 3Xp set to SCSI II On, Termination On (according to the label),
	MultiSpin On.

1.	WITH OUT the novell cd mounted.
	
	At the point the Install seems to be going okay without any problems
	what so ever. Then when the Install is Copying Disk 2 to the harddisk,
	it will silently stop with no indication of any problems. 
	No disk lights or activity what so ever.

	I've tried various system and CDROM setup but always with the same 
	results.

2.	WITH the novell cd mounted.

	Again no problems until the last screen of DISK 2.
	Then this happens:

	WARNING: Disk Driver: HA 0 TC 0 LU 0 - CHECK CONDITION 0x6DD0E001:
	A "HARDWARE ERROR" condition has been detected.
	Additional data = "SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER ERROR".

	and the system hangs.
	With this being a scsi bus error I disconnect the CDROM and 
	terminate the adapter.

3.	WITHOUT the CDROM.

	Everything works fine! (until i get to the point about installing
	from floppy or tape ;-)

	SO!

4.	WITH the CDROM and the Termination turned OFF.

	Yeowsers!  It works..... 8-))

	...this was very bizarre!!!! before trying with the 
	Novell CD mounted, I had one of my Music CDs playing!!
	It seems that the cdrom acts differently internally when
	a data cd is mounted. (just tried with no cds mounted:
	no problems!)


	chalk that this one up for the Novell Tech Support Database...

		luis...

ps:	hmmm...i wonder how many setup permutations I've done to 
	get this far??????
pps: now to convince CTC systems to port their serial drivers 
	from USL 4.2 to UnixWare 1.0...

Is there any word on the release date of 1.1?  When I last called 2-3 weeks,
it was still unknown (at least to the person I talked to).

Is this a floppy install, CD-ROM or tape? Also, is this a personal edition
or apps server?
