1.1 Overview
The Triton Bus Master EIDE/ATAPI Device Drivers created by
TRIONES Technologies, Inc. has the following features:
1) Takes advantage of the Triton chipset bus mastering capability and
support bus mastering IDE on both IDE hard disks and ATAPI CD-ROM
drives. This greatly reduces the CPU utilization and increases the
data transfer rate.
2) Supports advanced data transfer timing modes. The PIO mode can be up
to mode 4, and the DMA mode can be up to multiple word mode 2.
3) Supports LBA mode and Multiple-Block (or Multiple-Sector) commands.
This readme will describe the setup procedures for the Triton Bus Master
Device Driver for each operating system. The Triton Bus Master Device
Drivers can only be used on motherboards with the Triton chipset and the
system BIOS must properly initialize the Triton chipset IDE interface
for the Bus Master IDE operation. Do not use any other add-in IDE (PCI
or ISA) card in the system.

2.1 INSTALLATION
The setup program will copy files to the directory you indicate, and
make changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to configure the drivers.
If the fast disk driver is installed, it wil also make changes to
SYSTEM.INI in the Windows directory.
To run the setup program:
1) Change the current directory to a: or b:
2) Under DOS command line prompt, run the setup:
setup <Enter>
After entering the setup utility, just follow the instructions of the
setup.
2.2 DE-INSTALLATION
To de-install the disk driver:
Edit CONFIG.SYS to remark "DEVICE=C:\TRITON\TRIDMA.SYS".
To de-install the CD-ROM driver:
Edit CONFIG.SYS to remark "DEVICE=C:\TRITON\TRICD.SYS ..." and also
Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to remark "C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD000".
To de-install the Fast Disk driver:
Edit SYSTEM.INI and remark "DEVICE=C:\TRITON\TRIINT13.386" and
"DEVICE=C:\TRITON\TRICTR.386", and also set the values of
"OverlappedIO" and "32BitDiskAccess" to OFF. All these entries
are under the "[386Enh]" section.
2.3 RESTRICTIONS OF DISK DRIVER and FAST DISK DRIVER
1) If you want to install both of the DOS disk driver and the CD-ROM
driver, you should setup the disk driver before the CD-ROM driver
in the CONFIG.SYS.
2) The Fast Disk driver for Windows can only function if the DOS disk
driver is loaded.
2.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
2.4.1 Overriding Drive Capabilities for the DOS Disk Driver
If the driver does not work properly after the installation, it could
be that the device drives report wrong capabilities. The driver provides
parameters for the user to override the capabilities reported by the
connected device drives.
The user can append parameters with the following format
[/V] [/drive [dma=dmamode|pio=piomode] [!lba] [!ms]]
to the "device=..." statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.
Where
V indicates to display verbose information, including device
scanning progress and TRITON chip set timing register values,
and etc.
drive specifies which drive to override on. It can be:
PM primary/master
PS primary/slave
SM secondary/master
SS secondary/slave
dmamode specifies the overriding DMA mode. It can be:
SW2 single word DMA mode 2
MW1 multi-word DMA mode 1
MW2 multi-word DMA mode 2
NO not use DMA operation. The PIO will be used.
piomode specifies the overriding PIO mode. It can be:
0 PIO mode 0
1 PIO mode 1
2 PIO mode 2
3 PIO mode 3
4 PIO mode 4
If the pio_mode is specified, the driver will only use PIO
operation on the corresponding drive.
!lba indicates not to use LBA mode.
!ms indicates not to use multi-sectors commands.
For example:
device=c:\triton\tridma.sys /PS dma=SW2 !lba
indicates that we will use single word DMA mode 2 and not use LBA mode
on the slave drive of the primary IDE channel.
2.4.2 Overriding Drive Capabilities for the CD-ROM Driver
If the driver does not work properly after the installation, it could
be that the CD-ROM drives report wrong capabilities. The driver provides
parameters for the user to override the capabilities reported by the
connected drives.
The user can append parameters with the following format
[/V] [/drive dma=dmamode|pio=piomode]
to the "device=..." statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.
Where
V indicates to display verbose information, including device
scanning progress and TRITON chip set timing register values.
drive specifies which drive to override on. It can be:
PM primary/master
PS primary/slave
SM secondary/master
SS secondary/slave
dmamode specifies the overriding DMA mode. It can be:
SW2 single word DMA mode 2
MW1 multi-word DMA mode 1
MW2 multi-word DMA mode 2
NO not use DMA operation. The driver will use PIO on the
corresponding CD-ROM drive.
piomode specifies the overriding PIO mode. It can be:
0 PIO mode 0
1 PIO mode 1
2 PIO mode 2
3 PIO mode 3
4 PIO mode 4
If the pio_mode is specified, the driver will only use PIO
operation on the corresponding drive.
For example:
device=c:\triton\tricd.sys /SM dma=no
indicates that we will not use DMA and only use PIO operation on the
master drive of the secondary IDE channel.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
3.3.1. Overriding drive capabilities
If the Windows NT 3.5 does not work properly after the installation,
it could be that the device drives report wrong capabilities. The
driver provides 6 parameters for the user to override the capabilities
reported by the connected device drives.
1. UseLbaMode:
This is a double word parameter specifying if we want to use LBA mode on
a particular disk drive. We only use the low word. We split the 16-bit
low word into 4 4-bit fields, each corresponding to one possible
connected disk drive:
15 12 11 8 7 4 3 0
+-----------------+------------------+---------------+----------------+
| Secondary/Slave | Secondary/Master | Primary/Slave | Primary/Master |
+-----------------+------------------+---------------+----------------+
If a field is set to non-zero, then we are going to use LBA mode on the
corresponding disk drive. The default value is 0xF.
2. UseMultiBlock:
This is a double word parameter specifying if we want to use multiple
block commands on a particular disk drive. We only use the low word.
We split the 16-bit low word into 4 4-bit fields, each corresponding
to one possible connected disk drive:
15 12 11 8 7 4 3 0
+-----------------+------------------+---------------+----------------+
| Secondary/Slave | Secondary/Master | Primary/Slave | Primary/Master |
+-----------------+------------------+---------------+----------------+
If a field is set to non-zero, then we are going to use multiple block command
on the corresponding disk drive. The default value is 0.
3. PrimaryMasterMode:
4. PrimarySlaveMode:
5. SecondaryMasterMode:
6. SecondarySlaveMode:
These are double word parameters. We can use them to override DMA/PIO
timing modes for the connected drives. Some drives may have firmware
bugs causing them to report the wrong ATA DMA/PIO timing mode to the
driver. Most notable are the multitude of drives on the market which
claim to support PIO Mode 2 when in fact, they really are Mode 0 or
Mode 1 drives. Incorrect ATA DMA/PIO timing modes may cause system
boot failure or data corruption. Therefore, the driver includes a
facility whereby the user may override the vendor-specified ATA timing
mode.
The possible parameter values are:
0x00 Use DMA with Single-Word DMA mode 0
0x01 Use DMA with Single-Word DMA mode 1
0x02 Use DMA with Single-Word DMA mode 2
0x03 Use DMA with Multi-Word DMA mode 1
0x04 Use DMA with Multi-Word DMA mode 2
0xf0 Use PIO with PIO mode 0
0xf1 Use PIO with PIO mode 1
0xf2 Use PIO with PIO mode 2
0xf3 Use PIO with PIO mode 3
0xf4 Use PIO with PIO mode 4
0xf5 Use PIO with PIO mode 5
0xff Use PIO with driver-decided default PIO mode
0xffffffff
Default value, the driver will decide what operation
(DMA/PIO) and what mode to use by itself.
To set the parameters:
1) From the Program Manager, select File/Run and type in "REGEDT32".
2) In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subwindow, open the
SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / IDEAtapi / Parameters or
3) Double click on the parameter name you want to change, and make
your change. Be sure to click on the Radix/Hexdecimal button before
clicking OK.
4) Reboot your system.

mkdev hd unit SCSI-adapter 0 trisco
where, the "unit" can be 0 (indicates the master drive) or 1 (
indicates the slave drive); The "adapter" can be 0 (indicates the
primary channel) or 1 (indicates the secondary channel). For example,
to configure the master driver on the secondary IDE channe type:
mkdev hd 0 SCSI-1 0 trisco
Then just follow the instructions of this command to update SCSI
configuration and build a new kernel. Reboot your SCO UNIX system.
6.4 ADDING CD-ROM
1) First type command:
mkdev cdrom
Then follow the instructions of this command. Answer the ferfix name
by ide, the Adapter by 0 (primary channel) or 1 (secondary channel).
The unit by 0 ( master derive) or 1 (slave drive). The lun by 0.
If you have not installed the high-sierra file system, answer "y" to
install it. At last, answer "y" to build a new kernel.
2) Reboot your SCO UNIX system.
3) To mount a CD-ROM, type:
mount -r -f HS, lower /dev/cdnumber /<install node>
where "number" is the CD-ROM device number which can be 0, 1,...,
