[. . . ] ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates of up to 2. 5 Mb/s and provides symmetric bidirectional communication. On the other hand, EPP uses existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bidirectional communication. Generally, because of its FIFOs and the DMA channel it uses, ECP is good for large data transfers (useful for scanners and printers). On the other hand, EPP is better with links that switch directions frequently (like parallel port drives). There are two versions of the EPP transfer protocol - EPP1. 7 and EPP1. 9. Generally, EPP1. 9 is the preferred setting because it supports the newer EPP1. 9 devices and most EPP1. 7 devices and offers advantages like support for longer cables. However, because certain EPP1. 7 devices cannot work properly with an EPP1. 9 port, this BIOS feature was implemented to allow you to set the EPP mode to EPP1. 7 when such an issue occurs. Therefore, it is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to EPP1. 9. But if you have trouble connecting to your parallel port device, switch to EPP1. 7. However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral may have designated a preferred parallel port mode for the device in question. For those who don't know what mode to select but at least know that their parallel port device supports bidirectional transfers, the BIOS offers the ECP+EPP mode. If you select this mode, then the parallel port device will be able to use either one of those modes. However, this should be considered as a last resort as you may be needlessly tying up an IRQ if your device does not use ECP at all. Or the BIOS may not select the best parallel port mode for the device. If possible, set the parallel port to the transfer mode that best suits your parallel port device. However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral may have designated a preferred parallel port mode for the device in question.

[. . . ] This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place. 88 http://www. tyan. com Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can bring your system to them to have it serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can have expensive consequences). If these options are not available for you then Tyan Computer Corporation can help. [. . . ]
