!CPU Internal Cache — enable or disable the CPU internal cache.

!Quick Power On Self Test — when enabled, the POST will skip some non-essential tests (such as repetitive memory tests) in order to shorten the POST time.

!Boot Sequence — determines the order in which drives should be searched by the disk operating system. Options are [A, C], [C, A], [A, SCSI], [SCSI, A], [CD, A, C], [C only], and [SCSI only]. (“C” refers to an IDE drive, and “CD” refers to an IDE CD-ROM drive.)

!Swap Floppy Drive — If two floppy drives are connected to the system, drive A becomes drive B and vice-versa.

!Boot Up Floppy Seek — during POST, the BIOS performs a seek test to determine if the drive is 40 or 80 tracks (360K drives have 40 tracks, other drives have 80 tracks).
