Diskette Interface controls the operation of the system’s built-in diskette drive
controller.
With Auto (the default option) selected, the system turns off the built-in diskette drive
controller when necessary to accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion
slot.
With Write Protect selected, nothing can be written to diskette drives and tape drives
using the system’s built-in diskette drive controller. (The system can still read from the
drives.) When this option is selected, the Auto option (whereby the system turns off
the built-in diskette drive controller as necessary) is also in effect.
Selecting Off turns off the built-in diskette/tape drive controller; this option is used pri-
marily for troubleshooting purposes.

required).

Video DAC Snoop lets you correct video problems that may occur when certain video
add-in cards are used. The default is Off. If you are using a video add-in card and prob-
lems such as incorrect colors or blank windows occur, set Video DAC Snoop to On.
