PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the task by themselves. Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 through 4, which differ primarily in timing.

10.2.4 Installation for OS/2 (MonitorMouse) First be sure OS/2 is installed and operating properly with your mouse. As you will be modifying the CONFIG.SYS file, it is best to have the OS/2 installation disks or a bootable DOS disk readily available. This way, any problems in CONFIG.SYS which cause the system not to boot can be corrected by rebooting from the disk(s).
Page 153
The following files are on the MonitorMouse for OS/2 disk: !READ.ME! Text file containing any additions or changes made after this manual was printed.

MonitorMouse for OS/2 is installed by commands in CONFIG.SYS. Use your system editor to make these changes. In general, the changes are as follows: 1. Comment-out the existing DEVICE command(s) for your mouse. 2. Add a DEVICE command for the appropriate MonitorMouse for the OS/2 touchscreen driver immediately after the commented-out DEVICE commands(s).
Page 155
Example MonitorMouse for OS/2 DEVICE command: Device=c:\elo\monmou01.sys 2210,1,9600 If you do not wish to have a mouse connected, change the “stype=elomou$” flag to “type=elomou$” on the DEVICE=MOUSE.SYS command. If your system COM ports are being used by the touchscreen and mouse, REM out the DEVICE=COM.SYS and DEVICE=VCOM.SYS commands (if present) in CONFIG.SYS.
