Using the SYNCHRONOUS Option
Synchronous=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
This option allows you to turn off SCSI synchronous transfers. By default they are
on, which is faster. However, if you are having problems with your system you
might want to try turning synchronous off.
Using the WIDE Option
Wide=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
This option allows you to turn off SCSI wide transfers. By default they are on,
which is faster if you have a wide disk drive. However, if you are having problems
with your system you might want to try turning wide off.
Using the DISCONNECT Option
Disconnect=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
This option allows you to turn off SCSI disconnects. By default they are on, which
is sometimes faster. However, if you are having problems with your system you
might want to try turning disconnects off.
Using the SCAM Option
SCAM=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
This option allows you to turn off SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto-Matically). By
default SCAM is on. If you have a SCAM capable SCSI peripheral, SCAM auto-
matically assigns SCSI device ID’s to avoid conflicts. If you are having problems
with your system you might want to try turning SCAM off.
Using the PARITYCHECKING Option
ParityChecking=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
This option allows you to turn off SCSI parity checking. By default it is on. Parity
is a mandatory part of SCSI-2, however some old peripherals may not support par-
ity. If you are having problems with your system you might want to try turning
parity checking off.
Typically this is necessary only if you add a new peripheral that doesn’t support
parity. CD-ROM drives sometimes do not support parity.
Using the VERBOSE Option
Verbose=ON or OFF (Default = OFF)
This option allows you to turn on verbose mode for the driver. This displays a
message with the version of the driver each time the driver is loaded. This is a good
way to make sure the driver is loaded. Typically you want to set this ON once, then
turn it off until you need it again so the message is not displayed each time the driver
loads.
Using the FASTDISK Option
Fastdisk=ON or OFF (Default = ON)
