User's Manual
Mode Setting For Hard Disk Drives Larger Than 528MB
The last of the specification entries, Mode, requires additional
explanation.
The
Mode
settings
are for IDE hard disks only. You can
ignore this
item for MFM and ESDI drives. There
are
three entries you
can select from in the Mode field, "Normal", "Large" and "LBA".
Set Mode to the Normal setting for IDE hard disk drives smaller
than 528MB. Use the LBA setting for drives over 528MB that use Logi-
cal Block Addressing mode to allow larger IDE hard disks. The Large
setting is for drives over 528MB that do not use the LBA mode. This
type of drive can only be used with MS-DOS and is
uncommon.
The
majority of IDE drives over 528MB use the LBA mode.
Note: Entering incorrect drive specifications will result in a hard
disk drive functioning improperly or not at all.
Novell Netware 286 Users: You must shadow the system BIOS
if you will
use
a user-defined hard disk
type.

The
next two lines record the types of floppy disk drive present.

in.

l.44MB, 3.5

listing after each drive name and select the appro-
priate
entry.

Video Display Types
"Video" refers to the type of video display card your system has.
The five options are:
EGA/VGA
Mono (for Hercules or MDA)
CGA40
CGA80
You should select the setting that matches your video display
card.
If
you have a VGA or any higher resolution card, choose the
EGA/VGA setting.
Error Handling
The last line "Halt On" controls whether the system stops in case
of an error. The options are:
All Errors
No Errors
All, But Keyboard
All, But Diskette
All, But Disk/Key
For most purposes, we suggest that you leave the setting on the
default, "All Errors", unless you know why you want to use a dif-
ferent setting.
When you have made your selections, exit to the main program
screen by pressing the
<Esc>
key.
