3.6.1 Extended Translation
Adaptec SCSI controllers have always supported the full range of disk drive capacities under all
major operating systems. As disk drives have recently grown beyond 1 GB in formatted capacity,
they have run up against the DOS 1024-cylinder limit.
To continue its support for all SCSI disk drive capacities under DOS, Adaptec has included an
extended translation scheme for the AIC-7896 SCSI controllers. This feature supports disk drives
of up to 8 GB capacity under DOS. The section Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GB
explains how to change the setting of this option. Most operating systems leave this option
disabled.
