• Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
• Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SUMMARY

The Trantor 128 and 130B are 8 bit SCSI host adapter cards for the IBM PC/XT/AT and 80386/80486 computers. These host adapters have both internal and external connectors. The host adapters support I/O-mapped data transfer at any of one of four addresses (plus disable), zero-wait state operation for high-speed performance, and Boot ROM option.

MORE INFORMATION

The product included here is manufactured by Trantor Systems, Ltd., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

Both the T128 and T130B have internal 50-pin and external 25-pin SCSI connectors. The internal SCSI connection is marked with a silk-screened "1" on the board adjacent to Pin 1. Both the Trantor T128 and T130B come with an optional Boot ROM, which may or may not have the ROM chip in the socket.

Switch & Jumper Settings:

The switches and jumpers set the card address, ROM address, DMA channel, interrupt channel and other functions. The internal SCSI connector is located at the top end of the card, and the switches are located in one of the two following locations:

• Below the connector, on the T128 host adapter

  -or-

• To the left of the connector, on the T130B host adapter.

Summary of Switch Settings:

  Switch   Function     Setting
  --------------------------------------------------------
  SW 1,2,3, & 4 Reserved     OFF at all times
  SW 5   Boot ROM Enable   ON:enabled;OFF:disabled
  SW 6   Zero Wait-State Operation ON:enabled;OFF:disabled
  SW 7 & 8  Memory Address    see below

The T128 adapter works with one of four memory-mapped addresses. Switches 7 and 8 select this address. The T128 adapter uses a single 8K address register beginning at the address selected by the switches.

   Memory Address   Sw7   Sw8
   --------------------------
   CC00h            OFF   OFF
   C800h            OFF   ON
   DC00h            ON    OFF
   D800h            ON    ON

One additional Jumper, JP1, located at the bottom near the adapter slot, is used for optional interrupt selection. If interrupts are selected in the software then the jumpers must be installed. Interrupts 3, 5, or 7 are available. There are 12 pins on JP1, and one jumper is needed. The following shows the settings.
