Large Disk Access Mode

If you are using a DOS operating system (MS-DOS, DR-
DOS, or PC-DOS), set to DOS (default). If you are using
anything else, set to OTHER.

DRAM Type

The DRAM type can be set for Non-Parity (default),
Parity or ECC. Selecting ECC will detect the parity error
and allow the system to correct the error.
