In fact, they support two sets of manual parameters which can be useful if you have two different disks which are "non-standard". The configuration stuff is also in the rom and can be accessed at any time you are at the dos prompt by typing CTRL-ALT-S. There is a slightly smaller amount of setup stuff that you can do, though. /s/ Bob
