   ADF Sections for @8FA8h "IBM EtherStream

   "Send" is not "Save"...   
      
   The 8573-P70 is an earlier system, and some things were not fully beaten   
   out. There are other adapters where the auto configuration gets things   
   wrong.   
      
   Manually set the Adapter Media Type [should not be the problem...]   
   Disable Streaming Data Select [P70 is not famous for Data Streaming]   
   Parity Enable/Monitor Feedback set to OFF / OFF [Parity/Monitor Feedback   
   is a later development]   
      
   Your DBA-ESDI drive is using DMA 5, set the ES 32 to ANOTHER DMA   
   channel. A blank screen after the HD spins up hints at a conflict.   
      
   Don't configure ES 32 things to 0C0000H and 0E0000H   
      
   You will notice that I leave the I/O ranges and other human readable   
   things in the ADF sections [where needed] so people can SEE the ranges   
   [or values] used.

   "Adapter Media Type Selection" Select which cable type connects the NIC   
   to the network.  Autosense [adapter selects], Attachment Unit Interface   
   (AUI), Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP or 10BASE T), or Coax (10BASE2).   
        , UTP, COAX, AUI   
      
   "System Interrupt Level" Interrupt level used to interrupt the system   
   unit.  The preferred interrupt level is 3, but the adapter can operate   
   on any of the four levels if necessary.   
         , 2 [Int 02h], 10 [Int 0Ah], 11 [Int 0Bh]   
      
   "Micro Channel I/O Address" The micro channel I/O address range of the   
   adapter.  For micro channel I/O cycles, this Ethernet Network adapter is   
   selected when the micro channel I/O address is within a 256 byte region.   
   If more than one ES 32 is used in your computer, each adapter must be   
   assigned a separate I/O address range.

   "Streaming Data Select" The ES 32 can operate with or without Data   
   Streaming.  For best performance, select .   
        , Disabled   
      
   "Fairness" Whether the adapter will share the bus equitably with other   
   devices or retain control of the bus as needed.  Default is .   
        , Fairness OFF   
      
   "Arbitration Level" The ES 32 can operate on one of thirteen arbitration   
   levels: 1, 2, 3 or 5 thru E. If more than one ES 32 is used in your   
   computer, each adapter must be assigned a separate arbitration level.   
        , 2, 3, 4 [Commented Out], 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B,   
   C, D, E   
      
   "Parity Enable/Monitor Feedback" The ES 32 can generate and check data   
   and address parity. The ES 32 also provides the capability of monitoring   
   slave device's Selected Feedback Return Exception signals during DMA   
   operations.   
        , Parity ON /Monitor OFF, Parity   
   OFF/Monitor ON, Parity ON /Monitor ON
