Advanced ACPI

The Advanced ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) provides ASL (ACPI Source Language) code for power management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba. Advanced ACPI  provides support for all ACPI features enabled by the hardware and the operating system including the features required for Microsoft Windows logo certification

Advanced USB Boot

The Advanced USB Boot  provides enumeration and configuration of an USB CD-ROM, Zip, and Hard Disk drive during POST that enables the ability to boot to DOS from an USB CD-ROM, Zip, or Hard Disk drive that is connected to a system either directly or through a hub(s). Additionally USB CD-ROM, Zip, or Hard Disk drive support enables the use of an USB CD-ROM, Zip, or Hard Disk drive while in a DOS environment

USB 2.0 "High-Speed" Boot

USB 2.0 "High-Speed" Boot provides enumeration and configuration of an USB CD-ROM, CD-ROM/RW, DVD, combination CD-ROM/RW - DVD, and Hard Disk drives during POST.  It enables the ability to boot DOS from an USB mass storage device in "high-speed" mode when directly connected to USB 2.0 ROOT hub; when a "high-speed" USB 2.0 device is attached to an USB 2.0 external HUB, this device will be supported in USB 1.1 speed ( 12 Mbit/Sec). Additionally USB 2.0 "High-Speed" Boot support enables the use of one of the above stated USB devices while in a DOS environment
