IDE Adapter A branch is made to the following submenu when you select this type of
Hard Disk Drive
menu option:
Figure 6-3
The parameters which you can select here are usually saved on the respective
IDE drive, and are read from the drive and entered on the screen when you
select the option "Autotype Hard Disk".
CD-ROM drives with an IDE interface (ATAPI) are not entered here.
"Autotype Hard The standard parameter "AUTO" is entered in this field. This enables the device
Disk" Field
to recognize the hard disk parameters automatically. If you select the "Autotype
Hard Disk" field for a hard disk which does not exist, an abort is executed after
a maximum of five minutes as a result of a timeout, and the existing entries
remain unchanged. It is therefore only meaningful to carry out an autotype for
hard disks present in the system.
In the standard configuration of your programming device, only one hard
disk is entered as the master at IDE adapter 0.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to deviate from the proposed
hard disk parameters. In this case, select the corresponding menu option and
then the desired value using the [+] and [–] keys. Enter "none" in the "Type"
field if an IDE hard disk or an IDE CD-ROM is not connected, or a number
from 1 to 39 if a predefined type of hard disk is to be used.
Select "User" if you wish to define your own type of hard disk; you must
then additionally enter the hard disk parameters in the fields "Cylinders",
"Heads", "Sectors/Track", "Write Precomp".
