CAUTION
Back up the data on your large capacity drive before changing
the data translation scheme with this option. All data will be
lost!
Your Drive Must Be Repartitioned After Enabling This Option!
After enabling this option, the drive must be re-partitioned and
high-level formatted with the DOS
fdisk
and
format
utilities.
You must select a partition size that is divisible by 8, since the cyl-
inder size is now 8 MBytes. If you request a partition size that
cannot be divided by eight, fdisk
will round up to the nearest
whole multiple of 8 MBytes.
• Do not use this option with drives that contain two or more
partitions formatted with different operating systems.
Running Multiple Operating Systems on One Drive
OS/2 2.0 supports multiple DOS and OS/2 partitions on one drive
with Extended BIOS Translation.
If you are going to create multiple partitions formatted with differ-
ent operating systems, use standard translation (this option Dis-
abled). Make sure that the sum of any DOS partition is less than
1 GByte.
Support Removable Disks under DOS as Fixed Disks
This option is Disabled by default.
This host adapter BIOS control option allows you to use remov-
able-media disk drives, such as the Iomega® Bernoulli® , and
Syquest® drives, without installing additional software drivers.

• With this option Enabled, the host adapter will treat the
removable-media disk drive as if it is a non-removable me-
dia drive.
