SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears.

Extended BIOS 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 of UNIX.

Caution:

Changing the translation scheme destroys all

 

data on the drive. Be sure to back your disk

 

drives before changing the translation scheme.

Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk laster than 1GByte controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or Windows 95/98.

Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set to Verbose, the SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during system buildup. When set to Silent, the message is not displayed dur- ing bootup.

Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space)- (Default: Enabled) Enables or disables the SCSI card BIOS.

Leave at Enabled to allow the SCSI card BIOS to scan and initialize all SCSI devices.

Set to Disabled: Not scan if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.

Set to Disabled: Scan Bus if you do not need the BIOS, but you want it to scan the SCSI devices on the bus and you need to spin up the devices.

The following four options have no effect when the SCSI Card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI Card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)

Domain Validation.(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal trans- fer rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accord- ingly. 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 card BIOS. Choices are as follows:
