According to an April 1999 article, Personal NetWare was not tested for compatibility. So perhaps it works, perhaps it doesn't.

Personal NetWare

Patches and notes about Personal NetWare. I've not had a chance to play with this yet so not much here right now.

This was sold as a boxed product and was also bundled with Novell DOS 7.0 as well as some versions of Caldera DR-DOS/OpenDOS. Its possible to install just Personal Netware from the Novell DOS 7 install disks using D72PNW.EXE available on the Novell DOS 7 page. I don't know if this tool works with the Caldera versions but it may do.

Useful Information

Patches

These were the patches up on the Novell support site on 13 November 2006 plus a few extras from a Support Connection CD (like the english and french versions of the update).
