An important implication is that you cannot have an IDE drive if the resident Flash
memory is the boot device. For more information, refer to ‘‘About Drive Letter
Assignment’’ on page 3-7.
VME ROMdisk:
Use this option to enable VME memory on the EPC-8. This must be selected for the
VME memory to appear as a drive. The base address you select defines where the
VME ROMdisk BIOS extension is installed.

Make sure you do not choose an address used for Flash devices. The address chosen
affects whether or not this is the boot device.
VME Scan Range:
This option is used for VME booting. To boot from VME, use XFORMAT with the
/F option to first create a file that looks like a FAT/boot record. Then upload the file to
VME memory on a 100000h boundary in one of the memory ranges below. Set the
scan range to match where in VME memory the file was placed. Be sure to enable the
VME ROMdisk BIOS extension to enable scanning.
