Version 1.1 of the Migration Guide corrects the Novell NetWare upgrade station issue. With version 1.0 of the Migration Guide, you can't use Novell NetWare servers (both version 2.15 and 386, now called version 3.11) as upgrade stations when performing System 7 group upgrades.
The behavior occurs only when the creation time of the System 7 files ends in an odd-numbered second. This is due to the way MS-DOS and the Novell server keep time. They understand only even-numbered seconds. In the released version of System 7, all files have creation times with even-numbered seconds.
Versions of Novell NetWare for the Mac that are compatible with System 7 are:
- Novell NetWare 286 Server, NetWare for the Mac version 2.0 is partially compatible. Version 2.2 is fully compatible.
- Novell NetWare 386 Server, NetWare for the Mac version 3.0.1 or 3.0.1.1.
