Softpaq Solution:   SP1116
File Name:   MOVEPCI.SYS
Title:  Fix PCI Driver with Novell Netware Server
Version:  3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

CATEGORY:  Drivers / Servers

EFFECTIVE DATE:  02-02-1995

PRODUCTS AFFECTED:  Compaq Deskpro Products with PCI bus

OPERATING SYSTEM:  MS-DOS 6.0 or greater

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:  Novell Server and other software that manages extended                        memory directly

DESCRIPTION:  MOVEPCI resolves an anomaly between Novell Netware Server and similar software with COMPAQ PCI bus Deskpro products that prevent some PCI network adapters from functioning properly.

Compaq Deskpro machines that contain a PCI bus have protected mode 32 bit PCI services located at the end address of memory (4 gigabytes).  This memory address is not usable by Novell Server software and similar software that cannot manage non-contiguous blocks of extended memory.  PCI drivers that do direct calls to the PCI 32 bit address will not function in this environment.

MOVEPCI re-locates the PCI services to the F000 block of memory where they are accessible by the Novell Server software.

This version of MOVEPCI (3.0) replaces previous versions of MOVEPCI to support current models of Compaq computers that contain a PCI bus.
