Title: Cyberstorm PPC. How to restore default settings?
Post by: Hanzu on September 13, 2013, 07:16:31 AM

Anyone know how to restore default/factory settings for Cyberstorm PPC cards?

Those that are visible when ESC-key is held down.

Two ways:
1) You must know default settings for each menu and you have to set every position manually
2) Perform flash firmware update.

Thank you stachu! I think I will go for number 1 and check everything from my other card since I just flashed it year ago or so and have not made any changes IIRC. After that I will make and publish document for default settings. :)

I'm pretty sure that default setting are published in the CSPPC  manual:

No defaults. Not even settings explained:

Rainer Traub has made separate manual in German language, but no defaults in it either:

A little offtopic but

The only settings I usually change from default are:

SCSI Unit 4
Auto Mount to Mount for OS4.1 CD to boot

SCSI Unit 7 Controller
2 Seconds SCSI Reset Delay to 15 Seconds SCSI Reset Delay or to a value where you see BootCD in Early Startup Control Menu.

Ram
70ns Ram to 60ns Ram for normal use and temporarily back to 70ns Ram when installing OS.




Please let me know if you have any other reason to change or not to change any of the defaults.

I'm puzzled in what situation I should change No 31khz Screen to 31khz Default Screen?
