  HI,
        we experience some troubles with defea in a SFT III 3.11 netware
        server.
            2 DECPC XLSERVER 590  AND DEFEA AS MSL.
            We tried almost all actions on software and hardware.
    
    
        It seems a problem of version of card :
            when we had TWO B01 (Firmware 2.3) boards  the servers lost
    synchroniza 
    	tion 1 to 3 times /day
           when we had 1 A01(firmware 2.2) AND B01 (Firmware 2.3) boards 
    the servers lost 
        synchronization and halt with ABEND MESSAGE  on the server  with
    the B01 board
    
    	ONLY THE A01 VERSION IS NOVELL CERTIFIED  WITH THE 1.03 MSL DRIVER
    
         do the B01 version works with Sft III   and MSL DRIVERS 1.03
        (940114) ?
    
            IS it possible to downgrade a B01 version in A01 version?
    
            can we got 2 DEFEA version A01
    
            if some body have an other idea, he will be welcome.
    
        Thank you for your help

|     Not sure if this is the same case as the NETWARE conference NOTE 1756.
    
    But just in case it is: IPMT CFS.28993 logged as similar problem turned
    out to be a bad mem SIMM in the secondary server.  
    
    The NETWARE conference says the case is crossposted to this conference
    as note 1465.2 which is not the case.  Notes 1563 and 1644 have similar
    problem descriptions.
