4.5.11Gate A20 Option
This field configures how the gate A20 is handled. The gate
A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. At
first, the gate A20 was handled from a pin on the keyboard.
While some keyboards still provide this support, it is more
common, and much faster, for modern system chipsets to
provide support for gate A20.

This field determines if the typematic rate is to be used.
When enabled, the BIOS will report (after a moment) that the
key has been depressed repeatedly. When disabled, the
BIOS will report only once if a key is held down continuously.
This feature is used to accelerate cursor movements using
the arrow keys.
