FIRST AID

 

 
 
 

The  setup  utility  "First  Aid"  provides  some  measures  to  solve 

many problems in AT design. 
 
 

The first one is the keyboard problem with Novell environment 

in high speed system.    keyboard may not be respond very well because 
Novell program is running at very fast speed but the keyboard is a slow 
speed device.    The  BIOS allows you to adjust  a parameter to make the 
keyboard  work  properly.    You  need  to  test  your  selection.    Set  to  the 
lowest value that can solve the problem. 
 
 

The  A20-GATE  option  is  aimed  at  solving  the  problem  with 

some  applications  using  protected  mode.    The  A20-GATE  signal  is 
generated  from  slow  speed  device.    Sometimes  the  application  crashes 
when toggling this signal.    Setting this signal to "ON" can eliminate the 
problem.
