Comments
"Novell NetWare has quite a long history, but the older parts of it are now almost completely lost. In the mid-1980s, Novell offered Advanced NetWare, NetWare ELS, NetWare SFT, and other members of the NetWare 286 family.
With the partial exception of so-called non-dedicated NetWare 2.x servers, version 2.x and later of NetWare always had dedicated server machines with clients (called “shell” in the old days, later “workstation”) for DOS, OS/2, Macintosh, and more."

"Two versions of NetWare are available, Advanced NetWare 286 and System Fault Tolerant (SFT) Netware 286.
- SFT provides disk mirroring and disk duplexing (software mechanisms for making copies of disk data).
-
- NetWare OS is programmed to recognize signals from UPS. It knows when the power is being supplied from UPS and how much time is left.
-
- SFT allows the NetWare Transaction Tracking System (TTS). An application can treat a series of database update as a single operation- either all of the updates are made or none are made."
