Microprocessor
Microprocessor displays the type and speed of the microprocessor installed on your computer's system board. No user-selectable settings are
available for this option.
Parallel Mode
Parallel Mode controls whether the computer's integrated parallel port acts as a Personal System/2 (PS/2)-compatible ( Bidirectional ) port,
Advanced Technology (AT)-compatible ( Normal ) port, or Extended Capabilities Port ( ECP )-compatible port. The default for Parallel Mode is
ECP .
The Microsoft ® Windows ® 95 and Windows 98 operating systems use ECP protocol automatically if it detects an ECP-compatible device.
Set this option according to the type of device connected to the parallel port. To determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation that
came with the device.
Setting Parallel Mode to Disabled disables the parallel port and its assigned LPT address, freeing its interrupt for another device to use.
For a change in Parallel Mode to take effect, you must reboot your computer.
