Hm, I´m not aware of any inherent incompatibilities with this setup...
I only remember that SI used to crash under early issues of Novell DOS 7.

Norton Utilities 7 work like a charm here under DR-DOS 7.03. I don´t
have NU 6 here to run some tests. Does someone else use NU 6 and has
problems as well?

At the moment, I would think, that the problem is not with NU 6
and DR-DOS as is, but with the general configuration of the memory
manager. It can sometimes be a bit difficult to properly set up
EMM386.EXE. If you post a MEM /A output and your CONFIG.SYS
file we might help you configuring (and optimizing) your setup.

Are you using the FASTBACK utility which was shipped with Novell DOS 7
or a different issue?

I can see no problem with this. If you post your configuration
files, we might help you tune your system.
