SIS VL-IDE MULTISECTOR DRIVER DESCRIPTION: this directory contains the follow files README.TXT : tihs file. INSTALL.BAT: driver setup program. CONFIG.TXT : text file. 611B01.SYS : device driver for 1st IDE channel Ver 2.11 and it can set both channel wait state. T507P.SYS : device driver for 2nd IDE channel Ver 1.1. SUBJECT: These driver are designed for SIS VL-IDE Chip to improve IDE I/O data transfer rate between IDE Hard Drive and computer system. APPLICATION & EFFECTIVE: These driver were coded by the multisector concepts. It can apply the optimized sector number for data transfer in different IDE Hard Drive. Multisector methodology is an efficient solution to enhance Hard Drive performance. It can transfer more sectors than the default in most IDE Hard Drive at same time. This drive is a TSR file which can stay in DRAM till power-off. It will take care the data read/write for system all the time. INSTALLATION: To Install the Driver: 1. Run "[source drive:\DOS>]install [source drive:] [destination drive:] " to setup device driver. for example if your diskette driver is at drive A: and install to drive C: please type CD\DOS install A: C: 2. Reboot your system . 3. If you want connect the hard disk at 2nd IDE channel, you must install t507p.sys device driver. Copy t507p.sys file from A:\DOS> to C:\ for example if your diskette driver is at driver A: and install to drive C: please type CD\DOS COPY T507P.SYS C:\ Add DEVICE=C:\T507P.SYS command line to config.sys file of drive C: before DEVICE=C:\611B01.SYS line. Reboot your system. TO Choose the Wait State for VL Bus Clock: 1. According to the recommanded options shown on screen, choose one number which between 0 and 7. 0 is the fastest and 7 is the slowest. 2. If the wait state does not match the HDD supported, you should cold reboot the system to erase the s/w setting in the register of SIS IDE chip. To Set the Parameter with Command: 1. To issue parameters following file name. The formula : 611B01.sys < 1st IDE channel wait state no.> < 1st IDE channel initial max. Xferring sectors no. in HEX> < 2nd IDE channel wait state no.> 2. For instance, the user want to load 611B01.SYS in this way : 1st IDE channel wait state = 3, 1st IDE channel initial max. Xferring sectors no. in HEX = 20. 2nd IDE channel wait state = 5. To edit the following command line to CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=C:\611B01.SYS 3 20 5
