Floppy Options

This field is used to select the type of diskette drive in the system. Unless you are changing
the hardware, you do not need to change the diskette drive (floppy) A or B settings.
If you add an optional diskette drive to the system, select "Floppy B" and select the
appropriate parameter value for the drive.
The Floppy Write Protect field allows you to configure the floppy diskette drive(s) so that
no information can be written to a diskette. Set the field to "Enabled" to write protect
diskettes.

default is 9 seconds; available settings are Disabled, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 21, and 30 seconds.
