- Hard disks vary in many ways. The controller board must be told several
- important parameters in order to interface properly with a particular
- disk drive. The BIOS ROM on your hard disk controller board contains
- several possible hard disk parameter tables. There are usually between
- four and sixteen sets to choose from.
-
- Sometime you may change drives and want to use a new parameter table
- entry. They are selectable by jumpers on the board. The manufacturer
- of the drive will tell you what parameters are required.
-
- The program HDTABLE.COM will read out the parameter table from the
- controller board so you can chose the entry that is best for your drive.
