BVD2A
Boot Other Device
If you enable this item, the system will search all other possible
locations for an operating system if it fails to find one in the devices
specified under the first, second and third boot devices.
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, the BIOS will determine if the Floppy disk drive installed is a
40 or 80 track type. All 360 K types are 40 tracks, while 720K, 1.2M and
1.44M drive types are always 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 NumLock 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.
