Support Interrupt
Configuration for BBS
Systems
[Hook Interrupt, the
default/Bypass
Interrupt Hook]
Fixed for non-BBS
systems
This option allows the ability to prevent a hook on
INT40h, if required. The two settings are: Hook
Interrupt, the default, and Bypass Interrupt Hook.
Hook Interrupt is the normal operation that supports
booting CD-ROMs in floppy emulation mode on most
machines.
On certain platforms, the system BIOS uses the
INT40h interrupt chain in a nonstandard way. On these
platforms, you should use the "Bypass Interrupt Hook"
setting. This setting prevents a hook into the INT40h
chain. If the "Bypass Interrupt Hook" setting is used on
systems that do not require it, the CD-ROM may fail to
boot and an error message may appear and indicate it
is unable to read the boot device.
Note:Try toggling this value if your machine fails to
boot a CD-ROM in floppy emulation mode.
