How to Configure
If you are configuring an old MFM drive and you know
the drive type, select the correct drive type between 1 – 46.
If you are installing an old MFM drive and you do not
know the drive type or the drive parameters do not match
the drive parameters for types 1 – 46, enter the correct
hard disk drive parameters.
Select Auto to let AMIBIOS determine the parameters.
Click on OK when AMIBIOS displays the drive
parameters. You can also change these parameters if you
do not think AMIBIOS detected the drive parameters
correctly or if you want to enable an enhanced IDE
feature. You can modify these parameters as follows:
Select LBA/Large Mode. Select On if the drive has a
capacity greater than 540 MB.
Select Block Mode. Select On to allow block mode data
transfers.
Select 32-Bit Mode. Select On to allow 32-bit data
transfers.
Select the PIO Mode. It is best to select Auto to allow
AMIBIOS to determine the PIO mode. If you select a PIO
mode that is not supported by the IDE drive, the drive will
not work properly. If you are absolutely certain that you
know the drive's PIO mode, select PIO mode 0 - 5, as
appropriate.
Select CDROM if configuring an ATAPI drive. AMIBIOS
displays the drive parameters.
Select this setting if you are configuring an LS120, MO
(Magneto-Optical), or Iomega Zip drive.
