The  driver is named  OLIESC1.DSK and is installed as a loadable disk
driver module.

The  SCSI  driver should be used to meet the following requirements:

1)   For increased fixed disk performance

2)   To support more than 2 disks. The ISADISK.DSK supports 2  disks
     only.The OLIESC1.DSK supports 2 ESC-1's with 7 SCSI  disks  per
     controller.

3)   To support disk duplexing with the ESC-1 ( 2  controllers  with
     drive mirroring).

4)   To support  2  ESC- 1 controllers  installed  in the system for
     optimum disk performance.

To install this driver follow the process detailed in the  Novell
NetWare 386  Installation  Guide, in the file server section.

The SCSI driver will have to be manually copied to :

A.   Your server boot diskette - or
B.   The server subdirectory in the DOS partition

This is covered in detail in the NetWare manual.
