Chapter 5: Running Setup

5-15

PCI VGA Palette Snoop

The settings for this option are

Disabled

or

Enabled.

When set to

Enabled,

multiple VGA devices operating on different buses can handle data from the

CPU on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the

command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette

Snoop bit (0 is disabled). For example: if there are two VGA devices in the

computer (one PCI and one ISA) and this option is disabled, data read and

written by the CPU is only directed to the PCI VGA device’s palette

registers. If enabled, data read and written by the CPU is directed to both

the PCI VGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA palette registers.

This will permit the palette registers of both devices to be identical. This

option must be set to

Enabled

if any ISA adapter card installed in the

system requires VGA palette snooping.

PCI IDE Busmaster

The settings for this option are

Disabled

or

Enabled

. Set to

Enabled

to

specify the IDE Controller on the PCI bus has bus mastering capabilities.

Under Windows 95, you should set this option to

Disabled

and install the

Bus Mastering driver.

Offboard PCI IDE Card

This option specifies if an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is

installed in the computer. The PCI expansion slot on the motherboard

where the offboard PCI IDE controller is installed must be specified. If an

offboard PCI IDE controller is used, the onboard IDE controller is automati-

cally disabled. The settings are

Auto

(AMIBIOS automatically determines

where the offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is installed),

Slot 1

,

Slot

2

,

Slot 3

,

Slot 4, Slot 5

or

Slot 6

.

This option forces IRQ14 and IRQ15 to a PCI slot on the PCI local bus.

This is necessary to support non-compliant ISA IDE controller adapter

cards. If an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is installed in the

computer, you must also set the Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ and

Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ options.

Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ

Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ

These options specify the PCI interrupt used by the primary (or secondary)

IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The settings are

Disabled

,

Hardwired

,

INTA

,

INTB

,

INTC

, or

INTD

.
