ThinkPad Features is a control program that allows you to
configure your computer. Using the ThinkPad Features program,
you can easily set up and customize the built-in devices, such as
the parallel port or infrared port.
It also provides the Device Configuration Management System that
automatically detects a system resource (such as IRQ, DMA, I/O
address, or memory) conflict, so that you can easily set up your
computer configuration for the new device or software. For more
