3.12.10Plug and Play Configuration Subscreen

This section describes the options found on the Plug and Play configuration subscreen.

3.12.10.1Configuration Mode

Sets how the BIOS gets information about ISA cards that do not have Plug and Play capabilities. The options are Use Setup Utility and Use ICU (ISA Configuration Utility). The default is Use Setup Utility.

If Use ICU is selected, the BIOS will depend on run-time software to ensure that there are no conflicts between ISA boards with Plug and Play capabilities and those without. Only Boot With PnP OS will be visible.

3.12.10.2Boot with PnP OS

Enables the PC to boot with an operating system capable of managing Plug and Play add-in cards. The options are None, Other, and Windows 95. The default is Windows 95.

3.12.10.3ISA Shared Memory Size

Enables you to “unshadow” a block of the upper memory area. The options are Disabled, 16 KB, 32 KB, 48 KB, 64 KB, 80 KB, and 96 KB. The default is Disabled. If this is set to Disabled, the ISA Shared Memory Base Address (described below) will not be visible.

Shadowing is a technique that copies a block of memory from an add-in card’s ROM to the same address in system memory. This provides faster access and achieves higher performance. By default, all upper memory is shadowed.

3.12.10.4ISA Shared Memory Base Address

Sets the base address for the ISA Shared Memory. The options are C8000h, CC000h, D0000h, D4000h, D8000h, and DC000h. The default is C8000h. This setting could affect the ISA Shared Memory Size item. The value entered in the ISA Shared Memory Size item cannot extend to the E0000h address. For example, if a size of 64K was selected, options D4000h, D8000h, and DC000h will not be available.

3.12.10.5IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15

Sets the status of the IRQ. The options are Available and Used By ISA Card. The default is Available. The PCI auto-configuration code looks here to see if these interrupts are available for use by a PCI add-in board. If an interrupt is available, the PCI auto-configuration code can assign the interrupt to be used by the system. If your system contains an ISA agent that uses one of these interrupts, select Used By ISA Card for that interrupt.

TE430VX specifications

The Intel TE430VX was a landmark product in the realm of computing during the early 1990s. This microprocessor, part of Intel's line of Pentium processors, was primarily aimed at the burgeoning market for personal and business computing.

One of the main features of the Intel TE430VX was its 32-bit architecture, which allowed for a significant increase in processing power compared to its predecessors. The 32-bit data bus enabled the handling of larger amounts of data simultaneously, enhancing overall system performance. The TE430VX was capable of executing instructions at clock speeds ranging from 60 MHz to 66 MHz, which was quite impressive for its time. This processing power made it suitable not only for everyday computing tasks but also for more demanding applications such as graphic design and gaming.

The TE430VX also incorporated advanced technologies such as pipelining, which allowed it to execute multiple instructions in a single clock cycle. This feature contributed to improved performance and responsiveness, making the user experience smoother. The microprocessor supported a variety of RAM types, including EDO (Extended Data Out) RAM, which further enhanced its performance by reducing memory access times.

Another characteristic that set the TE430VX apart was its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including DOS, Windows, and various UNIX variants. This flexibility ensured that users could run their preferred software without compatibility issues, making it a versatile choice for home and business environments alike.
