Note

Use the option that sets the adapter to always perform Block Mode transfers only when you are providing User- defined Address Modifiers that do Block Mode Transfers.

PAR Check SCSI Bus Parity - This bit allows you to select whether the adapter checks errors in parity that occurred on the SCSI bus. (The default is set by SCSI configuration jumpers. See Chapter 3.)

0 ⇒ Do not check for parity.

1 ⇒ Check for SCSI parity errors.

BMT Block Mode Transfers - This bit allows you to force the adapter to perform Block Mode transfers regardless of the Address Modifier used.

0 ⇒ The RF3880 performs Block Mode transfers for only those Address Modifiers listed in the VME specification.

1 ⇒ The RF3880 performs Block Mode transfers regardless of the Address Modifier.

Bit 3 - Please note that Bit 3 has meaning for other Ciprico adapters that are compatible with the RF3880, but this bit is ignored on the RF3880.
