Autotype Fixed Disk

Use this option when setting up new disks. This option allows the BIOS to

determine the proper settings of the disk based on information on the disk, which is

detected by the EPC-33/34 BIOS for drives that comply with ANSI specifications.

Use the ENTER key to invoke this function.

Existing (formatted) disks must be set up using the same parameters that were used

originally when the disk was formatted. You must enter the specific cylinder, head,

and sector information as listed on the label attached to the drive at the factory. Use

the “User” type described below.

Type

For the majority of users, you probably have an IDE hard disk drive. Select “None” if

you are not using an IDE hard disk drive. In the case for which you have an IDE

disk but cannot employ the “Autotype” feature, then select “User” for the Type and

enter the correct drive values for cylinders, heads, and sectors/track from the disk’s

documentation.
