Allows application programs that access the
diskette drive to run at their optimum speed.
Settings are At Reboot Only and Any Time.
When Diskette Reconfig is set to Any Time
(the default), you do not have to reboot after you
install a diskette drive in the media bay or attach a
diskette drive to the parallel connector on the
back of the computer. However, some application
programs such as virus scans that access the
diskette drive will run very slowly if the diskette
drive is not in the media bay or connected to the
parallel port.
When Diskette Reconfig is set to At Reboot
Only, such application programs run at normal
speed, but you must reboot after installing or
attaching a diskette drive.
(Media Bay) Identifies the kind of device—
Diskette Drive, Battery, or CD-ROM Drive—that
is installed in the media bay. If the media bay
does not contain a device or if a travel bay is
installed, this option reads Not Installed. No
user-selectable settings are available for this
option.
Controls the internal ethernet controller in the
advanced port replicator. A change to this option
takes effect when you reboot.
Tells the computer which IRQ to assign to the
advanced port replicator during the boot
sequence. If this option is set to Optimized,
the docking station or replicator is assigned a
dedicated IRQ during the boot sequence. Select
IRQ 11 if a peripheral device requires the use of
the dedicated IRQ.
Shows whether the computer is attached to an
advanced port replicator. No user-selectable
settings are available for this option.
