Plug and Play installation

The Initio INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter has been designed to take
advantage of plug and play specifications and simplify installation. This once
complex task is accomplished in the host adapter with on-board read only
memory (ROM), that provides the necessary configuration mechanism for
installation and booting without user intervention in PCI plug and play
compliant systems.

The PCI Bus is a 32-bit bus with multiplexed
address and data lines. The INI-9100U/9100UW
meets PCI bus protocol, electrical and mechanical
specifications.
The INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter has on-board
read only memory (ROM) to provide the necessary
configuration mechanisms for installation,
configuration, and booting without user
intervention.
The 32-bit data path for the PCI bus structure
running in a synchronous mode at 33 MHz gives
peak sustainable operating speeds of 133
MBytes/second.
Limitations on hard disk parameters for MS-DOS
can be extended from 1 GByte to 8 GBytes.
Up to 40 MBytes/sec synchronous Ultra Wide SCSI
data transfer for the INI-9100UW.
Up to 20 MBytes/sec synchronous Ultra SCSI data
transfer for the INI-9100U.
