Some of the BIOS Options:
-Set the boot order
-Set the CPU multiplier from 4x to 8x in 1x increments (400 to 800 MHZ speed) (or up to 12x on faster motherboard)
-Disable the L1/L2 cache
-Set the shared video RAM at 16mb, 32mb, or 64mb
-Manage IRQ settings (IRQ 3 to 15)
-Disable various onboard devices
Note about Optical Drives:
This machine will support most external USB optical drives (CD/DVD) in both Windows 98 and XP, but such a drive is NOT INCLUDED. The references you see to external drives in the photo/screenshots are for the virtual drive that installs as part of Daemon Tools.
Note about DOS:
Compatibility is hit-or-miss, but with recent findings regarding getting Soundblaster emulation working on various AC97 sound chips, I figured I would include that on this build since it does work. Duke Nukem 3D (all the way up to 800x600 resolution) and Wolfenstein 3D both play flawlessly with functional audio.
