Parallel Mode
This field is used to specify whether the parallel interface is to be used as a bi-
directional input/output port or just as an output port.
ECP and EPP transfer modes
allow faster transfer rates of 2 and 2.4 Mbytes/s. These modes will only work with
peripheral devices which support them. In addition, the field Parallel must be set to
378h or 278h.
Printer The port functions as an output port only (default entry).
Bidirection Data can be transferred in both directions across the port.
EPP Fast transfer mode (up to 2 Mbytes/s), can output and receive data.
The mode requires a peripheral device which supports the EPP
(Enhanced Parallel Port) transfer mode.
ECP Fast transfer mode (up to 2.4 Mbytes/s), can output and receive
data. The mode requires a peripheral device which supports the
EcP (Enhanced Capability Port) transfer mode. The DMA channel
required is determined by the system in accordance with Plug &
Play.
Diskette Controller
This field is used to enable and disable the built-in floppy disk controller on the
system board.
Enabled The floppy disk controller is enabled - IRQ 6 is used. (default
entry).
Disabled The floppy disk controller is disabled - IRQ 6 is free.
Hard Disk Controller
This field allows you to enable and disable the built-in IDE hard disk controller.
The associated interrupts (IRQ 14 for the first connector, IRQ 15 for the second
connector) will only be available if no IDE hard disk drive is physically connected.
