Set this option to Enabled to enable the floppy drive controller
on the motherboard.
The Choice: 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 Choice: 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 Choice: Disabled, 378h, 278h, or 3BCh.
Parallel Port Mode
This option specifies the parallel port mode.
The settings are Normal, Bi-Dir, EPP, ECP.
Normal :
The normal parallel port mode is used.
Bi-Dir :
Use this setting to support bidirectional 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 bidirectional data
transfer driven by the host device.
ECP :
The parallel port can be used with devices that
adhere to the Entended. Capabilities Port(ECP)
specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to
achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per
second. ECP provides symmetric bidirectional
communication.
