Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed on your system.

detects the correct video type automatically, and supports a secondary video
subsystem that cannot be selected in Setup.
Halt On [All, But Keyboard]
During the power-on self test (POST), the system stops if the BIOS detects a
hardware error. You can ask the BIOS to ignore certain errors and continue the
process. There are the options:
All Errors
:
If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST stops and
prompts you to take corrective action.
No Errors:
POST does not stop for any error.
All, But Keyboard:
POST does not stop for keyboard error, but stops for all
other errors.
All, But Diskette:
POST does not stop for diskette drive errors, but stops for all
other errors.
All, But Disk/Key
:
POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but stops for
all other errors.
Memory
You can not change the value in the Memory fields which are information only. The
setting item shows the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts
allocated to base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory.
RAM is the computer’s working memory where the computer stores programs and
data currently being used, so they are accessible to CPU.
Base Memory:
Typically 640 KB is also called conventional memory. The
DOS operating system and conventional applications use this
area.
Extended Memory:
The memory is over the 1MB boundary.
Total Memory:
Total memory available from the system.
