UART Mode Select Default: Normal
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any
option but Disabled. UART Mode Select enables you to select the
infrared communication protocol—Standard (default), HPSIR or ASKIR.
HPSIR is Hewlett Packard's infrared communication protocol with a
maximum baud rate up to 115.2K bps. ASKIR is Sharp's infrared
communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 57.6K bps.
The UART mode setting depends on which type of infrared module is
used in the system. When set to ASKIR or HPSIR, the UART 2 is used
to support the infrared module connected on the mainboard. If this
option is not set to Standard, a device connected to the COM2 port will
no longer work.
UR2 Duplex Mode Default: Half
This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or
HPSIR. This item enables you to determine the infrared (IR) function of
the onboard infrared chip. The options are Full and Half (default).
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information
simultaneously. Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both
directions, but only one direction at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port Default: 378/IRQ7
This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard parallel
port.
Onboard Parallel Port Mode Default: ECP
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port.
There are four options: Normal (Standard Parallel Port), EPP
(Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and
ECP+EPP.
Normal allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both
data input and output. ECP and EPP modes are only supported with
EPP and ECP aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA Default: 3
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port
has the option to use DMA 3 (default) or DMA 1.
Game Port Address Default: 201
Enables you to set the game port address.
