Re: [Freedos-user] PNP ISA network card locks during early boot with P S/2 mouse connected

[John Hupp]

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.

Older motherboards wouldn't let you mix PS2 and USB at the same

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.
