Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
This option enables the onboard floppy disk drive controller.
Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8/IRQ4)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for
the onboard serial port 1 (COM1).
Onboard Serial Port 2 (Disabled)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for
the onboard serial port 2 (COM2).
UART Mode Select (Normal)
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any option but
Disabled. UART Mode Select enables you to select the infrared communica-
tion protocol: Normal (default), IrDA, or ASKIR. IrDA is an infrared
communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 115.2K bps. ASKIR
is Sharp's infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to
57.6K bps.
UR2 Duplex Mode (Half)
This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or IrDA. This
item enables you to determine the infrared function of the onboard infrared
chip. The options are Full and Half (default).
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously.
Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but only one direc-
tion at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for
the onboard parallel port.
