Bus Release Time

Select Bus Release Time to configure the amount of time, in BCLKS
(Bus Clocks), the host adapter will continue to transfer data after
being pre-empted in Bus Master mode. Figure 3-3 displays your
choices. The default setting is 44 BCLKS.
Normally 44 BCLKS is optimum; however, if multiple bus master
cards are installed in the system, you may want to lower the value to
free the EISA bus sooner.
