if Serial Port1 uses 3F8/IRQ4, the option, the 3F8/IRQ4 will not
appear in the options of Serial Port2.

Parallel Port Address

This option specifies the base I/O port address of the parallel
port.

Parallel Port Mode

This option specifies the parallel port mode.

X

Normal: Set this value to allow the standard parallel port
mode to be used.

X

EPP: The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere
to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) specification. EPP
uses the existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric
bi-directional data transfer driven by the host device.

X

ECP: The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere
to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP
uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates up to
2.5 Megabits per second. ECP provides symmetric Bi-direc-
tional communication.

X

EPP+ECP: Allow the parallel port to support both the ECP
and EPP modes simultaneously.

Parallel Port IRQ

This option specifies the IRQ used by the parallel port.

X

IRQ5: Set this value to allow the serial port to use
Interrupt 5.

X

IRQ7: Set this value to allow the serial port to use
Interrupt 7. The majority of parallel ports on computer sys-
tems use IRQ7 and I/O Port 378H as the standard setting.
