[. . . ] Security Option (System) This field determines when the system prompts for the password. The default setting is System, where the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up. The other option is Setup, where the system always boots up, and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up. You can specify a password by using the Supervisor Password or User Password option from the main screen as explained later in this section. PS/2 Mouse Function Control (Auto) The default of Auto allows the system to detect a PS/2 Mouse on bootup. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for the PS/2 Mouse. IRQ12 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. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop (Disabled) Some display cards that are nonstandard VGA such as graphics accelerators or MPEG Video Cards may not show colors properly. The setting Enabled should correct this problem. Otherwise leave this on the setup default setting of Disabled. 16-bit I/O Recovery Time (Leave on default setting of 5 BUSCLK) Timing for 16-bit ISA cards. 8-bit I/O Recovery Time (Leave on default setting of 8 BUSCLK) Timing for 8-bit ISA cards. ISA Bus Clock (Leave on default setting of PCICLK/4) Timing for the ISA bus clock. Video BIOS Cacheable (Leave on default setting of Enabled) This allows the video BIOS to be cached to allow faster execution. Memory Hole at Address (None) This feature reserves memory address space, 15M-16M, 14M-16M, or 12M-16M, to ISA expansion cards that specifically require this setting. This, however, makes the memory from the specified and up unavailable to the system because expansion cards can only access memory up to 16MB. Refresh Cycle Time (187. 2 us) This function sets the DRAM refresh rate. A slow refresh cycle time increases the bandwidth available for data transfers. 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. [. . . ] Install SiS 5597/5598 OS/2 Warp drivers as following procedures: 1. Enter "OS/2 window" or "OS/2 full screen". Change directory to which holds the SiS 5597/5598 OS/2 3. 0 display drivers and type SISINST <Enter>. For example, A:\OS2\SBCS. 30>SISINST 3. [. . . ]
