Extended Int 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte
—(Default: Enabled) When set
to
Enabled
, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities
greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not
required for other operating systems, such as NetWare or UNIX.
CAUTION:
Changing the translation scheme destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back
up the data before changing the translation scheme.
Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk larger than 1 GByte controlled by
the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or Windows 95/98.

POST Display Mode
—(Default: Verbose) When set to
Verbose

Domain Validation
—(Default: Enabled) Determines the kinds of SCSI devices
connected and reduces data transfer speed when legacy SCSI devices are detected.
Displays the resulting data transfer rate.
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks
—(Default: Disabled)
Determines which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI host bus adapter
BIOS. Choices are as follows:
—
Disabled
— No removable-media drives are treated as hard drives. Software drivers
are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.
CAUTION:
You may lose data
if you remove a removable-media cartridge from a SCSI drive
controlled by the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS while the drive is on. If you want to be able to
remove the media while the drive is on, install the removable-media software driver and set
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks to Disabled.
—
Boot Only
—Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot device is treated
as a hard drive.
—
All Disks
—All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated as hard
drives.
