and Play devices. If you choose Auto, you cannot
select IRQ DMA and memory base address fields,

each system interrupt a type, depending on the

types for choice: Legacy ISA and PCI/ISA PnP.
Legacy ISA: Devices compliant with the original
PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific
interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1)
PCI/ISA PnP: Devices compliant with the Plug
and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or
ISA bus architecture.
DMA Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign
each DMA channel a type, depending on the type
of device using the DMA channel. There are two
types for choice: Legacy ISA and PCI/ISA PnP.
