SuperIO Configuration
► OnBoard Floppy Controller
This item is used to enable/disable onboard Floppy Controller.
► Floppy Drive Swap
This BIOS feature is used to logically swap the mapping of drives A: and B:. Therefore, it is
only useful if you have two floppy drives.
Normally, the sequence by which you connect the floppy drives to the cable determines which
is drive A: and which is drive B:. If you attach the floppy drives the wrong way and obtain a
drive mapping that is not to your satisfaction, the usual way of correcting this is to physically
swap the floppy cable connectors.
This feature allows you to swap the logical arrangement of the floppy drives without the need
to open up the case and physically swap the connectors.
When this BIOS feature is enabled, the floppy drive that originally was mapped to drive A: will
be remapped to drive B: and vice versa for the drive that was originally set as drive B:.
When this BIOS feature is disabled, the floppy drive mapping will remain as that set by the
drive connector arrangement.
Although this appears to be nothing more than a feature of convenience, it can be quite impor-
tant if you are using two floppy drives of different form factors (3.5" and 5.25") and you need
to boot from the second drive. Because the BIOS can only boot from drive A:, you will have to
physically swap the drive connections or use BIOS this feature to do it logically.
