The PDC20262 chip can operate in four modes (two for PC; two for Mac) ... 
only three of which are used (PC RAID and non-RAID; Mac RAID).

Two of the LSI's pins are both inputs and outputs, "reading" the required 
configuration at reset time, and then changing these pins to output for 
actual operation.

Therefore, for the PDC20262, the mode (PC vs. Mac) is settable using external 
components.

This is NOT the case of the later PDC20267, etcetera, chips, in which 
countermeasures were incorporated.
