[. . . ] NOTE: Some DRAMs are known to lose data without frequent refreshing so the default is set at 187. 2 us. Delayed Transaction (Enabled) The default setting of Enabled frees the PCI Bus during CPU accessing of 8-bit ISA cards, which normally consume about 50­60 PCI clocks without PCI delayed transaction. For PCI bus masters that cannot use the PCI Bus and some ISA cards that are not PCI 2. 1 compliant, set this to Disabled. Onboard VGA Memory Size (1MB) This function allows the user to allocate either 1MB, 2MB or 4MB memory for the onboard video controler. Larger memory allows more colors and a higher resoultion to be selected within each operating system. Onboard VGA Memory Clock (Leave on default setting of Fast) This function allows the selection of the video speed. Normal uses 50MHz, Fast uses 60MHz, and Fastest uses 66MHz. If your monitor displays unrecognizable information, you must decrease the speed to match your monitor's frequency rate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled) When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard floppy drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a different controller card, set this field to Disabled. 46 ASUS SP97 / SP97-V User's Manual (Chipset Features) IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Onboard FDC Swap A: B: (No Swap) This field allows you to reverse the hardware drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives. Two options are available: No Swap and Swap AB. If you want to switch drive letter assignments through the onboard chipset, set this field to Swap AB. Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8H/IRQ4) Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4 (default), 2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, and Disabled for the onboard serial connector. Onboard Serial Port 2 (2F8H/IRQ3) Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4, 2F8H/IRQ3 (default), 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, and Disabled for the onboard serial connector. Onboard Parallel Port (378H/IRQ7) This field sets the address of the onboard parallel port connector. You can select either 3BCH/IRQ 7, 378H/IRQ 7 (default), 278H/IRQ 5, or Disabled. If you install an I/O card with a parallel port, ensure that there is no conflict in the address assignments. The PC can support up to three parallel ports as long as there are no conflicts for each port. Parallel Port Mode (ECP+EPP) This field allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port. [. . . ] All the Driver Files will be copied to a subdirectory C:\SISDRV and the "Select Screen parameters for SiS SVGA" menu appears and all the resolution (and color) and frame rate supported would be shown on the screen. Choose which one you would like to use and click "OK". Then installation program would complete all installation process and create a "SiS Setup" for future change mode usage. Shutdown and re-boot OS/2 to make your selection effectively. ASUS SP97-V User's Manual 93 IX. [. . . ]
