DMA Controller
Direct memory access (DMA) improves system performance by
allowing devices to access the system memory directly. This ability is
provided by two 82C37-compatible direct memory access controllers
(DMACs) contained in the 82357. The seven independent 32-bit DMA
channels are listed in the table below along with their associated
DMA controller and their device assignments.

Hard Disk Drives
The following table lists the types of hard disk drives you can use in
your computer. Check this table and the manual that came with your
hard disk to find the correct type for the hard disk drive(s) installed
in your computer. Then select that type at the hard disk drive Type
prompt. If you do not find your drive type in the table, select User
defined and enter your drive’s parameters.
Hard disk drive types
(1) Miniscribe 8425F, Seagate ST125
(2) for Seagate (formerly CDC Imprimis) default setting (34 sectors per track)
(3) Micropolis 1325. Atasi 3085. Lanstor Lan64 Maxtor XT1085, Newbury NDR1085
(4) Micropolis 1323A Miniscribe 3035, Microscience HH1050. Seagate ST4053
(5) Epson IDE drives: 40MB (type 59), 100MB (type 60). 200MB (type 64)
(6) The BIOS translates the actual parameters for Cylinders. Heads, and Landing zone to these
values. The parameters listed in your drive's documentation may be the following:
Cylinders (1366), Heads (8), and Landing zone (1355).

not instaIl any jumpers on the slave drive.
The folIowing illustration shows the location of the jumpers on the
optimal Epson 200MB IDE hard disk drive.
