No, the BIOS offers little control. It seems the only influence I have is to choose Operating System: Other/Win95/Win98-NT5. I assume that this is a setting that controls whether or how the BIOS should configure PNP devices.

Does you bios setup have an option to allocate irq or memory for ISA?

    If your motherboard has USB built into it, it could be related to

    Support is actually a very ugly kludge.

    Older motherboards wouldn't let you mix PS2 and USB at the same
    time, so you usually have to disable Legacy USB Support if you
    want to use PS2 devices.  If your MB doesn't have USB support,
    this can't be the problem.  I'm also not sure why the network card
    has anything to do with it, but if the BIOS is screwed up for USB
    there's no telling what else is wrong with it.

    Maybe a trail to investigate, anyway.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
