AST ADVANCED NETWARE/86 LIMITATIONS
When installing the AST Advanced Netware/86 in non-dedicated
mode the following limitations apply:
1. AST-ADVANCED NETWARE/86 requires a minimum of 384k of
server memory for the network operating system when
operating non-dedicated. This results in 256K left for
workstation functions.
2. The workstation must then load DOS and ANET3, the
workstation shell, leaving below minimum memory
required to run most applications programs
successfully. This can result in lock-ups of the
server/workstation which crashes the entire network.
3. Installing ADVANCED NETWARE/86 on a 80286
microprocessor based machine in dedicated or non-
dedicated mode will limit the power of the 80286 (AT
type) to that of a 8086(XT type) on which protected
mode (memory above 640k) features are not supported.
