Floppy Drive
Genesis MP has one internal high-density floppy disk drive. The
drive is connected to a 20-pin connector. The floppy drive will read
and write Mac-formatted 800K and 1.44 MB and PC-formatted
720K and 1.44 MB floppies (to read and write PC-formatted disks,
be sure the PC Exchange control panel is enabled.
PCI Slots
The 3 or 6 PCI slots allow for a broad range of expansion cards.
Performance Tips:
In the 6 slot Genesis MP, the six PCI slots are grouped into two
groups of three each. Because the circuitry linking the top three
PCI slots is also used for other motherboard I/O, most expansion
cards perform slightly faster when installed in one of the bottom
three PCI slots.
If you are installing a SCSI array with two PCI cards, you can typi-
cally increase performance by installing one card in one of the top
three PCI slots and the second card in one of the bottom three
PCI slots.
