Swap Floppy Drive
If you have two floppy diskette drives in your system, this item allows
you to swap around the assigned drive letters so that drive A becomes
drive B, and drive B becomes drive A.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the Floppy disk drive installed is 40 or
80 tracks. 360 K type is 40 tracks while 720K, 1.2M and 1.44M drive type as
they are all 80 tracks.
Enabled: BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40
or 80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or
1.44M drive type as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled: 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 360K.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system
is started.
Gate A20 Option
This option provides compatibility with older software written for the 286
processor. Leave this item at the default value Fast.
Typematic Rate Setting
This determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled,
continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one key
instance. In other words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down.
When the typematic rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will
then wait a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin the report that
the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a
feature to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this section allows you select the rate at
which the keys are repeat.
