When to Use Extended TranslationWith DOS Version 5 OnlyNetWare 386 and the newer versions of UNIX do not share the1024 cylinder limit of DOS and do not require extended transla-tion to support large disk drives. OS/2 does not currently supportextended translation.Drives With Mixed PartitionsDo not use extended translation on drives formatted with two ormore partitions for different operating systems. Use standardtranslation. The sum of the DOS partitions will be less than 1Gigabyte. Partitions for UNIX and NetWare can be larger than 1Gigabyte when using standard translation.NoteUNIX is understood to be ATT/USL all versions, SCO v3.2.4 (orlater) and ISC v3.0 (or later).Using Extended TranslationCAUTIONIf you have already partitioned a large disk drive with onetranslation method, conversion to another method will eraseyour data. Be sure to back up your disk drive prior to anychange in the translation method used.adaptec AHA-1740A/1742A/1744A-2
