Swap Floppy Drive [Default: Disabled]
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting enabled assigns
physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Default: Enabled]
When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40
or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and
1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy
drives, we recommend you to choose "Disabled" to save time.
Boot Up NumLock Status [Default: On]
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system
boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of
controlling cursor operations.
Gate A20 Option [Default: Fast]
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB (extended
memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal,
a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
Typematic Rate Setting [Default: Disabled]
Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the
typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected.
Typematic Rate (Char/Sec) [Default: 6]
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at
which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30.
