Floppy Drive Swap
The option reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives in the Swap A, B setting, otherwise
leave on the setting of Disabled (No Swap). This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy disk swap
feature. It is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives. When
<Enabled>, the BIOS swapped floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes
Drive A under DOS.
Floppy Drive Seek
If the <Floppy Drive Seek> item is setting Enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy <A> drive one time upon bootup.
PS/2 Mouse Support
The setting of Enabled allows the system to detect a PS/2 mouse on bootup. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for
the PS/2 mouse. IRQ 12 will be reserved for expansion cards if a PS/2 mouse is not detected. Disabled will
reserve IRQ12 for expansion cards and therefore the PS/2 mouse will not function.

This item specifies the speed at which a keyboard keystroke is repeated.
System Keyboard
This function specifies that a keyboard is attached to the computer.
Primary Display
The option is used to set the type of video display card installed in the system.
