This item displays the contents detected by the PC when ‘Type’ is [Auto]. If ‘Type’ is a
value other than [Auto] and [None], set the number of sectors that can be transferred in a
single operation.
A larger number of sectors specified will allow greater disk access.

serial numbers) is enabled. The best mode is selected and displayed automatically when
‘Type’ is [Auto] or [Hard Disk] (only when a hard disk unit is mounted).

access the hard disk correctly. Do not change this item after the hard disk is formatted.
– Transfer Mode
This item sets data transfer mode (fast PIO) between device hosts. The best
mode is selected and displayed when ‘Type’ is [Auto]. When something other
than [Auto] or [None] as ‘Type,’ is selected, the user can select a desired
transfer mode.

-
Fast PIO 1/2/3/4, Fast PIO 3/DMA 1, Fast PIO 4/DMA 2
Select a desired data transfer mode. A larger number indicates a higher transfer
rate.
When a PIO transfer mode other than Standard is selected, the connected hard disk must
support the mode selected.
