Drive B Allows you to configure floppy drive B (if one
is present).
Floppy 3 Allows your floppy drive(s) to run in three
Mode Support modes including 2.88 MB mode.
Video Specifies the type of video card in use. The
default setting is EGA/VGA. Since current PCs
use VGA only, this function may be disre-
garded in the future.
Halt On
Enables you to control the system stops in case
of Power-on self-test (POST) errors.
Base Memory Refers to the portion of memory that is avail-
able to standard DOS programs. DOS systems
have an address space of
1 MB, but the top 384 KB (called high mem-
ory) is reserved for system use. This leaves 640
KB of conventional memory. Everything above
1 MB is either extended or expanded memory.
Extended Refers to memory above and beyond the stan-
Memory dard 1 MB base memory that DOS supports.
Extended memory is only available in PCs with
an Intel 80286 or later microprocessor.
Extended memory is not configured in any
special manner and is therefore unavailable to
most DOS programs. However, Windows and
OS/2 can use extended memory.
Total Memory Shows the total base and extended memory
available on the system. The memory size is
automatically detected by BIOS during the
power-on self test (POST). If you install addi-
tional memory, the computer automatically
adjusts this parameter to display the new
memory size.
