Questions and Answers About Extended
Translation
What happens if I enable extended translation with SCSI drives that are
less than 1 GByte in capacity?
Drives handled by the BIOS will use extended translation pro-
vided they are over 1 GByte in formatted capacity. Drives with
less than 1 GByte of formatted capacity will use standard transla-
tion regardless of whether extended translation is enabled.
What if I have more than two fixed disk drives on the host adapter?
You can use up to seven fixed disk drives under the BIOS
provided you are running DOS 5.0.
What if I use older versions of software drivers when extended
translation is enabled?
To protect your data, the host adapter will lock out any driver
that does not identify itself as capable of extended translation. If
you need to use software that is not compatible with extended
translation, do not enable extended translation.
