[rescue] Novell Netware

[Thomas Pelki]

i had forgot about bitsavers. Yes everything looks to be before it was
electronic. looks to be from the 90's.

i do have a duplex sheet scanner that i can stack 60+ pages in at once and
press the button and it will scan them all both sides.

im currently in the process of getting ready to move so its the last
project i want to deal with right now.
