When set to Manual the system BIOS will not refer to the ESCD for IRQ & DMA
information. Instead, it will refer to the items in the setup menu for assigning
IRQ & DMA. When set to Auto the system BIOS will refer to the ESCD for all
legacy information.
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) provides a detailed format
of the configuration data structures stored in flash memory. Each data
structure defines the resources used by a device or a card in the system.
This includes legacy and PCI/ISA PnP devices.
