OnBoard FDC
Set this option to Enabled to enable the floppy drive controller on the
motherboard. The settings are Auto (AMIBIOS automatically determines if
the floppy controller should be enabled), Enabled, or Disabled.
OnBoard Serial PortA/B
This option specifies the base I/O port address of serial port A. The
settings are Auto (AMIBIOS automatically determines the correct base I/O
port address), Disabled, 3F8h, 2F8h, 2E8h, or 3E8h.
OnBoard Parallel Port
This option specifies the base I/O port address of parallel port on the
motherboard. The settings are Disabled, 378h, 278h, or 3BCh.
Parallel Port Mode
This option specifies the parallel port mode.
The settings are Normal, Bi-Dir, EPP, or ECP.
Normal: The normal parallel port mode is used.
Bi-Dir: Use this setting to support bi-directional transfers on the parallel
port.
EPP: The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) specification. EPP uses the existing parallel
port signals to provide asymmetric bi-directional data transfer driven by the
host device.
ECP: The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the
Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol
to achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per second. ECP provides
symmetric bi-directional communication.
Parallel Port IRQ
This option specifies the IRQ used by the parallel port. The settings are
Auto, (IRQ) 5, (IRQ) 7.
Parallel Port DMA Channel
This option is only available if the setting for the Parallel Port Mode option is
ECP. This option sets the DMA channel used by the parallel port. The
settings are DMA Channel 0, 1, or 3.
On-Chip IDE
This option specifies the IDE channel used by the onboard IDE controller
The settings are Disabled, Primary, and Secondary.
