Controller Settings

The default setting for the "Onboard FDC Controller" is "En­

abled". This setting activates the onboard floppy disk controller and
connector. Choose the "Disabled" setting if you want to use a sepa­
rate controller card.

The default setting for the "Onboard FDC Swap A: B:" is "No

Swap". If you want to reverse the drive letter assignments of two
floppy disk drives you can set this to "Swap AB" and the swap will

be controlled in hardware. This feature is the same as physically

changing the floppy disk drive cable connector positions. It is sepa­
rate from the BIOS Features Setup "Swap Floppy Drive" feature.

Serial Ports

The "Onboard Serial Port 1" and "Onboard Serial Port 2" lines

control the assignments for the mainboard's two onboard serial con­

nectors. They can be assigned as follows:

COMl

address is 3F8H (Onboard Serial Port 1 default)

COM2

address is 2F8Fi (Onboard Serial Port 2 default)

COM3

default address is 3E8H

COM4

default address is 2E8H

Disabled turns off the on-board port

Make sure both ports have different COM assignments. It should

be unnecessary to change the default settings.
