4-4 CHAPTER 4: STANDARD INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

8When prompted, select the operating mode and speed. The 3C619C adapter offers the following choices:

3Com mode, 16 Mbps

3Com mode, 4 Mbps

IBM mode, 16 Mbps

IBM mode, 4 Mbps

3Com mode provides you with the features of IBM mode as well as additional I/O address options and IRQ channels that reduce the possibility of conflicts with other peripherals on the PC. IBM mode is compatible with existing IBM drivers. Table 4-1 shows the characteristics of 3Com mode and IBM mode.
