Onboard FDC
Onboard Serial Port 1/Port 2
This setting specifies the base I/O port address of serial port 1.The option
are Auto (AMIBIOS automatically determines the correct base I/O port
address) , Disabled, 3F8h, 2F8h, 2E8h, or 3E8h.
Onboard Parallel Port
This setting specifies the base I/O port address of parallel port on the
motherboard. The options are Disabled, 378h, 278h, or 3BCh.
Parallel Port Mode
This setting specifies the parallel port mode. The options are Normal, Bi-Dir,
EPP, ECP.
Normal:
The normal parallel port mode is used.
Bi-Dir :
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
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.
