3.1.2.7 Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS will check whether the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. Note that the BIOS cannot distinguish
between 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M drive types as they are all 80
tracks. When disabled, the BIOS will not search for the type of
floppy disk drive by track number. Note that there will not be any
warning message if the drive installed is 360KB.
3.1.2.8 Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric
keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on
wherein the function of the numeric keypad is the number keys.
When set to Off, the function of the numeric keypad is the ar-
row keys.
3.1.2.9 Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20
is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte. Initially, gate
A20 was handled via the keyboard controller. Today, while key-
boards still provide this support, it is more common, and much
faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.
3.1.2.10 Typematic Rate Setting
Disabled Continually holding down a key on your keyboard
Enabled The BIOS will not only report that the key is down,
will cause the BIOS to report that the key is down.
but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still
down, it will begin to report that the key has been
depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use
such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with
the arrow keys. You can then select the typematic
rate and typematic delay in the "Typematic Rate
(Chars/Sec)" and "Typematic Delay (Msec)" fields
below.
