The no_block_write option in the Mach64 server was introduced in patch level 2.
I've checked the patch but since I still haven't found any technical reference
I don't exactly know what it does. As far as I've seen in the server's 
sources it disables the block write mode of the card when reseting the card.

This option only affects mach64 cards which contain VRAM (graphics pro turbo)
and not the other DRAM based cards.
