Maximum Data Rate:
Sets the maximum synchronous data transfer rate for every
device. Please note that data transfer rates greater than 10 MByte per second
(8 bit) or 20 MByte per second (16 bit) limit the maximum length of the SCSI bus
to 3 m (< 3 devices) resp. 1,5 m (> 3 devices) and require SCSI cables that meet
the extended Ultra SCSI requirements.
Press ESC to quit the setup program. If you have changed any values you will
be asked to confirm that you want to save the modified configuration.

Installation under Windows 95, 98, ME
7.1 General Information
Windows 95,98 as
well as Windows ME have
a built-in standardised
SCSI interface that allows
you to adapt your specific
hardware to the different
SCSI hostadapters. Hard-
ware adaptation is done
by driver „DC2976.MPD“
located in the „\WIN95-98“
directory on your
installation diskette. The
file „DC2976.INF“ (also
stored in the „\WIN95-98“
directory) controls the
Windows Installer.
The device drivers required for running CD-ROM or removable disk drives etc.
are part of the Windows operating system providing an automatic setup procedure
which much facilitates the installation process. Windows will recognize your SCSI
hostadapter automatically during the first booting. In the dialog "new hardware found"
you have to chose for installation "driver on producers disc".
Then select the "Browse" option; the installation files are located in the „\WIN95-
98“ directory on your installation diskette. When you have specified the drive and folder,
Windows displays a dialog indicating the exact type and name of your SCSI hostadapter.
PCI SCSI hostadapters are automatically configured by the PCI BIOS, i.e. the
SCSI hostadapter is assigned a free interrupt and a free I/O address which cannot
be changed via Windows’ Device Manager.
