UR2 Duplex Mode (Half)

This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either
ASKIR or IrDA. This item enables you to determine the infra-
red function of the onboard infrared chip. The options are Full
and Half (default).

Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information
simultaneously. Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both
directions, but only one direction at a time.

Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)

This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt re-
quest (IRQ) for the onboard parallel port.

Parallel Port Mode (ECP)

Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel
port. There are four options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port),
EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities
Port), and ECP+EPP.

SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP)
and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, al-
lowing both data input and output. ECP and EPP modes are only
supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.

ECP Mode Use DMA (3)

When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the par-
allel port can use DMA 3 or DMA 1.

Game Port Address (201)

This item sets the I/O address for the game port.

Midi Port Address (330)

This item sets the I/O address for the Midi function.

Midi Port IRQ (10)

This item sets the interrupt request for the Midi function.
