IBM 386 Enhanced Memory Adapter
This adapter comes in two types. One uses a track 0 initializer, and the other has a ROM. To determine which is which, boot from your Reference diskette and go to the configuration screen. The adapter with a ROM will be identified as such in the configuration screen. The adapter with a ROM will work with the MCMaster without any special attention. To work with the other type, the MCMaster operating mode will have to be set to "INITPROG or IDD." Refer to the Appendix A "operating mode" section for details on using either initprog or installing the IDD, MMPIDD.SYS.
IBM SCSI Adapters
There is an IBM ECA (number 032) on certain SCSI adapters found primarily in Model 80 25Mhz and Model 95 machines This SCSI controller appears to be very noise sensitive. If the SCSI adapter is FRU part number 15F6561, it must be replaced with FRU part number 85F0002.
IBM SCSI Adapters with Cache
If you are using the IBM SCSI adapter with cache and aren't connecting any external SCSI devices, you may need an external SCSI terminator. Please refer to the documentation supplied by IBM with the SCSI adapter for details.
About Third-party Memory Boards
The IBM PS/2 systems feature
Other memory boards add a small configuration program to the boot track of your hard drive. Such a program is called a TRACK0 INIT. To support this feature, IBM has a new version of the Set Configuration program, SC.EXE. If you've already installed a board that uses this feature, you probably already have the new SC.EXE. You will find detailed instructions for using it with the MCMaster under the heading "Operating Mode." If you haven't installed such a memory board, you don't need to worry about this feature.
