Extended BIOS Translation is used only with MS-DOS 5.0 or above. You do not need to enable this option if you are using another operating system such as NetWare, OS/s, Windows NT, or UNIX.
When you partition a disk larger than 1 GByte, use the MS-DOS disk utility as you normally would. Because the cylinder size increases to 8 Mbytes under extended translation, the partition size you choose must be a multiple of 8Mbytes. If you request a size that is not a multiple of 8MBytes, fdisk rounds up to the nearest whole multiple of 8MBytes.
nDisplay <Ctrl-A> Message during BIOS Initialization – This option determines whether the Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect ™ Utility message appears on your screen during system boot up. The default setting is Enabled. If this setting is disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the host adapter BIOS banner appears.
nMultiple LUN Support – This option determines whether booting from a SCSI device that has multiple LUNs is supported. The default setting is Disabled. Enable this option if your boot device has multiple LUNs.
nSupport for Ultra SCSI Speed – This option determines whether the host adapter supports the fast transfer rates (13.4, 16,20.0) of Ultra SCSI devices. The default setting is Disabled.
