Other Configuration Options
The TokenDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program 
also allows the selection of the following additional 
parameters:
Memory Mode – allows operation with 8-bit or 16-bit 
memory interfaces. The default is 16-bit, but the 8-bit option 
is provided for backward compatibility with older PCs.
I/O Mode – allows operation with 8-bit or 16-bit I/O 
interfaces. The default is 16-bit, but the 8-bit option is 
provided for backward compatibility with older PCs.
IRQ Driver Type – provides a choice of IRQ signal drivers to 
the ISA bus. Level-sensitive relies on the motherboard circuitry 
for reliable operation and allows shared interrupts. Edge- 
triggered is more robust because it is independent of the 
motherboard circuitry, but it does not allow shared interrupts.
AutoSwitch – when enabled, allows installation of the adapter 
in an EISA PC by the EISA configuration utility without having 
to run the 3TOKDIAG program first. The default is disabled.
Boot PROM – when enabled, allows the PC to connect to a 
remote network. The default is disabled.
Zero Wait State – when enabled, allows the PC to 
communicate with the adapter more quickly. Some PCs may 
not operate correctly with this option enabled.  The option 
can be disabled to solve this problem. The default is enabled.
3Com recommends that you not change the setting of these 
options.
