Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
This option enables the onboard floppy disk drive controller.
Onboard Serial Port 1/2 (3F8/IRQ4/2F8/IRQ3)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for onboard
serial port 1.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the
onboard parallel port.
Parallel Port Mode (ECP+EPP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are four
options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Ex-
tended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Paral-
lel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output. ECP
and EPP modes are only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use DMA
3 or DMA 1.
