Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)
When partitioning a disk larger than 1 GB, use the MS-DOS
Screen Message utility as you normally would. Because the
cylinder size increases to 8 MB under extended translation, the
partition size you choose must be a multiple of 8 MB. If you
request a size that is not a multiple of 8 MB, Screen Message
rounds up to the nearest whole multiple of 8 MB.
■ Post Display Mode—(Default: Verbose) During POST, the
amount of information displayed depends on the mode. If you
change this setting, the change automatically applies to both
SCSI channels. The following modes are available:
■ Verbos e—The results of the SCSI bus scan are displayed, but
the results of the PCI bus scan are not displayed.
■ Silent—Nothing is displayed about POST, not even the
Adaptec banner. However, error messages are displayed if
there is a problem on the SCSI bus or SCSI devices.
■ Diagnostic—The PCI and SCSI bus scan results are displayed
separately. There is a pause between PCI and SCSI scans.
■ SCSI Controller INT 13 Support—(Default: Enabled) This
option controls the state of the BIOS at POST time. The
following settings are available:
■ Enabled—Supports INT 13 for booting from a SCSI hard disk
drive connected to the SCSI card. If you use this option, the
following options are available:
■ Extended INT 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GB
■ Support Removable Disks Under INT 13 as Fixed Disks
■ BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM
■ Disabled:NOT Scan—Set to this option if the devices on the
SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are controlled by
software drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not
want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.
■ Disabled:Scan Bus—Set to this option if the devices on the
SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are controlled by
software drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not
want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.
