Excellent reminder! This is especially warranted for anyone running a 3.12 server. Besides the MB BIOS not being compliant, some of the attached device BIOSes might not be compliant. Unfortunately, running a definitive test will i expect involve downing the server and other risks.
: You focused on whether Novell Netware versions are or
: will be Y2K compliant. But if the hardware system
: is not not Y2K compliant, your compliant software
: won't fix it.

: If you are still running your Novell server on an older
: system (and it works quite well on them), you really
: should run a test to see if you need to upgrade your
: BIOS!
