WAFER-LX User Manual
During the POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K
FDDs have 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M FDDs all have 80 tracks
Enabled
BIOS searches for a FDD to determine if it has 40 or 80
tracks. Note that BIOS cannot tell the difference between

Typematic Rate Setting [Disabled]
Disabling the Typematic Rate Setting configuration option only allows one character to appear
onto the screen if a key is continuously held down. In other words, the BIOS will only report the key
is down. When this option is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment,
and, if the key is still down, it will begin to report that the key has been depressed repeatedly. Such
a feature would be used to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Disabled (D
EFAULT
)
Disables the typematic rate
Enabled
Enables the typematic rate
x Typematic Rate (Chars/sec) [6]
The Typematic Rate can only be configured if the Typematic Rate Setting is Enabled. The
Typematic Rate configuration field determines the rate keys are accelerated.
