==========================================
Please remember that every system configuration is different and
the example here is a guide and should not be followed blindly !!
Nothing beats reading the manual, then the General Network
Installation file and the read.me file on disk before proceeding
any further.
If you see a file on disk that refers to the Network Card you are
using, then read it before continuing.
Example 1.
NOVELL VER. 2.1X
ALR Dart 10 (10MHz),Samsung Monochrome Monitor.No Page Frame
Required
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=ALLEMM4.SYS RAM=C000-EFFF FR=NONE X=aaaa-bbbb i=cccc-dddd
Note: If you were using VGA, you could use RAM=b000-b7ff instead
of C000-EFFF
i=cccc-dddd To grab more memory in a Clone (you cannot do this
in a PS/2) you could try i=f000-f7ff at the end of the line
which steals some memory from your BIOS.
If you need an EMS Page Frame, then you should take out
FR=NONE
X=aaaa-bbbb excludes the ROM and RAM addresses of your Network
card where aaaa is the start address and bbbb is the end
address.

F:
NOTE: DECLARING LASTDRIVE=Z: CAUSES A PROBLEM. NOVELL WANTS TO
USE F: AS THE DEFAULT LOGIN DRIVE. BY DECLARING LASTDRIVE=Z: IT
CLAIMS ALL AVAILABLE DRIVE DESIGNATIONS FOR LOCAL DOS AND WILL
NOT LET NOVELL HAVE A DRIVE FOR LOGIN. SO WE SUGGEST YOU ELIMINATE
THE LASTDRIVE STATEMENT LEAVING THE DEFAULT DESIGNATIONS AS
A:-E: FOR LOCAL DOS AND F:-Z: FOR NOVELL.
NOTE: TOKEN RING DRIVERS MUST BE LOADED IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER
AND DXMC0MOD.SYS MUST BE LOADED INTO LOW MEMORY:
DXMA0MOD.SYS
DXMC0MOD.SYS (MUST BE LOADED LOW)
DXMT0MOD.SYS (THIS DRIVER IS OPTIONAL)
Please read up on Token Ring Cards in the Token Ring file on
this disk.
Example 2.:
AST Premium 286 w/ 40MB hard drive & 1MB using ROM BIOS v.1.1
with EGA
Only device driver is ALLEMM4.SYS
Used as workstation on Novell Network (v2.0a) using IBM Token
Ring Adapter Boards at 8MHz. Switch Block 1 is configured to
address CA00 (FNNFNF) using interupt 3 (NF). Note: N denotes ON,
F denotes OFF.
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=ALLEMM4.SYS X=C000-CDFF I=F000-F7FF RAM FR=NONE

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
