NetWare 6.5 Compatible Server?

[marksp...@gmail.com]

I have a network which I support that uses Netware 6.5 going back to 3.11.

Are there an inexpensive server that I could load 6.5 on?

Wow. I've not heard of NetWare still in production use in about five years.

I suspect you're going to find that NetWare won't like newer hardware.

I also think you'll find that NetWare runs fairly well in
virtualization. Do be mindful of the CPU Idle programs. I've
personally played with NW 4, 5, and 6 in VM. Different hypervisors did
different things better.

Hypervisors suggest a single vCPU. (I don't think any of the idlers
that I've seen support more than one vCPU.) You can add more vCPUs,
it's just that they will run as fast as possible and consume non-trivial
amount of CPU on the host.
