Notes
Note 1
The PIO mode in the mask “HD Transfer Mode”indicates the chosen data
transfer mode for the hard disk. You can set a value between “0" and ”4".
After the automatic read in of the parameters (“HD Get Params ? = Yes”)
you should not change this value . Should any problems occur, you can
only decrement the PIO mode, which will lead to a slower transfer of data.
Note 2
The number of sectors in the mask “Multisector Read” indicates how many
sectors per reading job can maximally be read from the hard disk. You
can set this number to 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 sectors. After the automatic read in
of the parameters (“HD Get Params ? = Yes”) you should not change this
value. Should any problems occur, you can only decrement the number
of sectors, which will lead to a slower transfer of data.
