Memory information
------------------
The following information shows memory areas that are either 
unavailable or that can be included with a memory manager such as 
EMM386.

Reserved BIOS Area:
  C0000-CBFFF  (reserved for Video BIOS)
  F0000-FFFFF  (reserved for BIOS)

Usable BIOS ROM Area*
  E0000-EFFFF  (can be used as UMB (Upper Memory Block))

Simple Boot Flag function
-------------------------
This function automatically optimizes the behavior and boot 
performance of the BIOS and operating system, based on the installed 
operating system and previous boot.

If this function is Enabled and once a Plug and Play-capable operating
system, such as Windows 98, is installed, the system BIOS does not
configure such hardware resources as system interrupts, memory ranges,
and I/O port ranges for all the devices in the system.

If you are going to use a non-Plug and Play-capable operating system,
disable this function so that the BIOS will configure hardware 
resources.

(Important Notice)
If you are using multiple operating systems in addition to Windows 
95/98, you must DISABLE the Simple Boot Flag in Easy-Setup.

To modify the Simple Boot Flag:
1. Hold down the F1 key on the ThinkPad and power on the system.
2. Open the Config icon.
3. Open the Quick Boot icon.
4. Set Simple Boot Flag to Enable or Disable depending on 
configuration.

Windows 2000 diskette drive/drive letter handling
-------------------------------------------------
Diskette drive/drive letter handling under Windows 2000 environment is
changed to fixed drive letter assignment.
   External diskette drive letter       : A drive (A:)
   Ultraslim Bay diskette drive letter  : B drive (B:)
Since Windows 2000 will assign drive letter A for an FDD found first,
and it may vary.

Boot Menu
----------
When this option is enabled a startup Boot Menu will appear allowing 
you to choose the bootable device.  This function is enabled or 
disabled via the Easy Setup option in BIOS.
