There is a bank of 10 switches. The settings are:

SW1 SW2	 BIOS address
off off  c800..cbff
on  off  d800..dbff
off on   d000..d3ff
on  on   disabled

SW3 SW4  I/O address
off off  0x220..0x22f
on  off  0x200..0x20f
off on   0x110..0x11f
on  on   0x100..0x10f

SW5 SW6 SW7	IRQ
off off off	15
off on  off	14
off off on	11
off on  on	10
on  n/a n/a	disabled
on  on  on	DOS 5.0 support

SW8
off	asynchronous xfer
on	synchronous xfer

SW9	floppy controller
off	disable
on	enable

SW10	not used


my card refused to boot with bios enabled if I had a device with a 512byte
sector size connected.
