• Drive and Boot Options
♦
Floppy Seek – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦
Hard disk Seek – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦
Floppy Swap – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦
Boot Method – [Boot Sector] or [Windows CE]
Boot Sector is the traditional method for booting the system. If [Windows CE] is selected, the
BIOS attempts to load the NK.BIN file from the root directory of each boot device.
♦
Primary IDE Cable – [Auto], [40 Wire], or [80 Wire]
Setting these fields to [Auto], causes the BIOS to query the attached IDE device to determine
the type of IDE cable used. If the BIOS detects [40 wire], or you select it, the BIOS will not
use UDMA-66 or faster mode when sending signals to/from the IDE device.
♦
Secondary IDE Cable – [Auto], [40 Wire], or [80 Wire]
♦
Primary Master ATA mode – [LBA], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This default option (LBA - Logical Block Address) could be used on any IDE device, including
CompactFlash cards. However, this option specifically allows you to select between the
existing formats used to format your CompactFlash card as the Primary master device.
♦
Primary Slave ATA mode – [LBA], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This default option (LBA - Logical Block Address) could be used on any IDE device, including
CompactFlash cards. However, this option specifically allows you to select between the
existing formats used to format your CompactFlash card as the Primary slave device.
NOTE This feature allows you to use any one of the three common formats
available for CompactFlash cards without having to re-format the
CompactFlash card before you can use it on the LittleBoard 700. The
LBA (Logical Block Address) is set as the default format because it can
handle larger drives and is the newest format available, but may not be
the one used to format your CompactFlash card. The other common
formats that may be encountered are the Physical (below 512MB) or
Phoenix (physical above 512MB) formats.
• Keyboard and Mouse (Configuration)
♦
Numlock – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦
Typematic – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
This field is used for the keyboard.
♦
Delay – [250ms], [500ms], [750ms], or [1000ms]
This field is used for the keyboard and determines how many milliseconds the keyboard
controller waits before stating to repeat a key, if the key is held down on the keyboard.
♦ Rate – [30cps], [24cps], [20cps], [15cps], [12cps], [10cps], [8cps], or [6cps]
This is a keyboard field and determines the rate, in characters per second, the keyboard
controller will repeat a key, if the key is held down on the keyboard.
♦ Initialize PS/2 Mouse – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
If this field is set to [Enabled], the BIOS will initialize the PS/2 mouse.
If the PS/2 mouse is [Disabled], then the BIOS will not initialize the PS/2 mouse, which may
not be recognized by the Operating System.
