Ultra 100 IDE card DOS Driver Installation Instructions
-------------------------------------------------------

*********************************** [IMPORTANT] **************************************
   Although ATAPI devices (e.g. CD-ROM, LS-120) can be detected by the IDE BIOS on
   booting up, the ATAPI devices is not supported by Ultra 100 IDE card under DOS.

DOS Driver
----------

  cmd64xx2.sys

  This driver is to be loaded only under DOS and Windows3.xx. 
  DO NOT load this under Windows 95/OSR2/Windows 98 systems.

  Add following line in config.sys manually.

   Device=c:\quickcmd\cmd64xx2.sys

  Read following for the DOS DRIVER COMMAND LINE OPTIONS for advance 
  setting.

. DOS DRIVER COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
------------------------------------

  For default operation using PIO data transfers, no command line 
  options are necessary for the DOS driver.  To enable DMA/Ultra DMA 
  transfers, use the  option /E (Option /A must be used together
  with  option /E).  The remaining options will be of interest only 
  to power users.  To enable command line options, append them to the 
  DEVICE=c:\quickcmd\CMD64xx2.SYS line in your CONFIG.SYS.

  /A<lbs> : Enable Advanced Timing modes.  When this option is 
       specified, the driver queries the drive(s) for supported
       IDE timing modes.  The driver then sets up both the drive(s)
       and the CMD PCI IDE controller for the fastest supported 
       timing mode(s).  <lbs> specfies the PCI bus clock speed in MHz.
       Valid values are between 20 and 50.  
       WARNING:  Disk access may be unreliable if the PCI bus speed 
       is incorrectly specified.  If you are unsure of your PCI bus
       speed, use <lbs>=50 until you determine the actual speed.
      
   Follow the chart below for the PCI bus speed for each different CPU 
   speeds:
   
   CPU speed             		->Corresponding PCI bus speed
   50MHz and 75MHz       		-> 25MHz
   60MHz, 90MHz and 150MHz		-> 30MHz
   66MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz, 166MHz,
   200MHz, 233MHz, 266MHz, and 300MHz 	-> 33MHz	

  /D : To display detailed information.
  
  /E : Enable DMA/Ultra.  Drives which support DMA/Ultra will use 
       DMA/Ultra data transfer; drives which only support PIO will use 
       PIO transfer.  This switch must be used together with switch 
       /a<lbs> in order to run DMA/Ultra mode properly.
       /O may be used to override a specific drive.
  
  /O<drive number><transfer mode><mode number> : 
       Override transfer mode.  
       Some drives have firmware bugs which cause them to report 
       incorrect transfer mode information to the driver.  For 
       instance, many DMA Mode 2 drives are really Mode 0, and some 
       DMA drives can't really support DMA reliably.  By default, 
       the driver automatically selects the fastest mode which a 
       drive claims to support.  The user can override this mode by 
       using /O.  /O overrides /E on a per-drive basis.
       WARNING:  The driver does no sanity checking on drives for which
       /O is specified.  Using /O to set a drive to an unsupported 
       transfer mode may cause data corruption!
       
   drive number : 0=primary master, 1=primary slave, 
                  2=secondary master, and 3=secondary slave.
   transfer mode: p=programmed I/O, s=single word DMA, 
		  m=multi-word DMA, and u=ultra DMA
   mode number  : mode number:0-5 when type = P
			      0-2 when type = S
			      0-2 when type = M
			      0-2 when type = U  
  
   EXAMPLE:
      device=c:\quickcmd\cmd64xx2.sys  /a33 /o1S0

   EXPLANATION:  
    /a33  : enable optimal performance timings for a 33 MHz local bus.  
    /o1S0 : force the Primary IDE slave drive to use Single Word DMA 
            Mode 0
