Adapter ID
Synopsis
Notice (ADF v2.2)
The base address of the BIOS ROM for this adapter cannot be changed. However, some systems have a problem allocating C0000h-C1FFFh during configuration. For these systems, a second identical choice is provided. This overcomes the problem by making it appear that a choice is available to the configuration program. The ROM JUMPER is used to enable the ROM prior to configuration. Setting the ROM JUMPER to the DISABLED position disables the ROM, allowing the adapter to co-exist with an unconfigured XGA adapter. It is important that during configuration, all other adapters be moved away from address C0000h-C7FFFh.
