3.8.2 Resource Controlled By

The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically config-

ure all the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this

capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play

operating system such as Windows® 95/98. If you set this field to "man-

ual," choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menus that

follow this field (a sub menu is preceded by a "Y"). The settings are: Auto

(ESCD) (Default), Manual.

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a

type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

The VGA "palette" is the set of colors that are in use by the video card

when it is in 256-color mode. Since there are thousands of colors and only

256 can be used in that mode, a palette containing the current colors is

used. Some special VGA cards, high-end hardware MPEG decoders etc.

need to be able to look at the video card's VGA palette to determine what

colors are currently in use. Enabling this feature turns on this palette

"snoop". Leave this field at Disabled. The settings are Enabled, Disabled

(Default).

This feature allows setting maximum TLP (Transaction Layer Packet)

payload size for the device. The default is 4096.
