Appendix A Configuration Options

Flush Mode

Default: Mode 1

Option: Mode 2

Mode 3

This option controls the method that the MCMaster uses to maintain hardware cache coherency when the MCMaster is being used with other busmaster adapters including a number of SCSI disk controllers.

For most installations where there are no other busmaster adapters in the system, Mode 1, the default, will function perfectly well. If another busmaster is present, select Mode 2. IBM SCSI controllers require Mode 2. In a small number of cases, if Mode 2 does not perform correctly, use Mode 3.

Keyboard Emulation

Default: Hardware

Option: Software

The MCMaster incorporates hardware emulation of the system's keyboard controller. Since this is a new feature, we have included the option to disable this hardware emulation and use the same software emulation that was used on previous generation busmaster upgrade products. This is strictly a precaution against unforeseen circumstances. In our testing, we have not yet found this to be necessary. However, if your application experiences unexpected keyboard behavior, try switching to software emulation.
