T Set retry timeout & other
options
Winchester drives take a short time to spin up to speed and initialise
themselves (typically about 15 seconds). This option allows the time
that SCSIFS allows for drives to spin up to be adjusted. It also allows
certain SCSI specific information to be configured. If you do not
understand any question asked by SCSIFORM, just take the default
answer. Information required by SCSIFORM is as follows:
Timeout period
Time in centiseconds allowed for SCSI drives to spin up to speed. If a
drive does not respond to the SCSI card after the specified timeout
period, a `drive not ready' error will be generated. (Default 2048)
SCSI Reset on
Reset/Break
Whether or not to issue a SCSI reset when a Reset or Break occurs on
the Archimedes. (Default
Y)
SCSI Reset on
Hard Break
Whether or not to issue a SCSI reset when a hard break occurs on the
Archimedes. (Default
Y)
SCSI Initiator Id.
Sets the SCSI Id number of the SCSI controller Card. (Default 7)
