Q & A :

1.      Novell Netware Server will hang when client is trying to loggin.
Ans:    Please remember to use Un-Install function to remove SiS IDE DOS Driver
        after SiS IDE Netware Driver installed.

2       How to use 32-bit file access for Hard Disk and CD-ROM working at the
        same channel in WFW 3.11 environment ?
Ans:    It is a limitation of the system. You should either put the devices in
        different channel or turn the 32-bit file access off.

3.      DOS Driver adjusts HD speed by parameter :
E.g:    You can write the following line in config.sys
                device=c:\siside\sisdr.sys /Rxxxx /Axxxx
        Where x could be 0 .. 9, A .. F for speed .
                R : Recovery time
                A : Active time    ( ref. data sheet for 551X )

4.      After SiS IDE DOS driver installed. Some mode 4 hard disk will cause
        system hang at the IDE driver loading procedure when we reboot the
        system.
Ans:    Users can avoid this by downing the speed in Manual function as Q&A 3.

5.      Why NT3.5 can't boot completely after installed IDE driver and reboot ?
Ans:    Windows NT and SiS IDE Drivers can't both be active under NT system.
        User just need to follow the README procedure to remove Windows NT IDE
        Driver after SiS IDE Driver installed.
