USB Port 64/60 Emulation

Common Options : Enabled, Disabled

Quick Review

This BIOS feature allow you to enable emulation of I/O ports 64h and 60h so that there is full PS/2 legacy support for USB keyboards and mice. It is also useful in providing USB keyboard and mouse support in Windows NT which does not natively support USB.

When enabled, the BIOS will emulate I/O ports 64h and 60h for your USB keyboard and mouse. This enables PS/2 functionality like keyboard lock, password setting and scan code selection.

When disabled, the BIOS will not emulate I/O ports 64h and 60h for your USB keyboard and mouse. They will not have PS/2 functionality like keyboard lock, password setting and scan code selection.

If you need PS/2 functionality like keyboard lock, password setting and scan code selection, then you should enable this BIOS feature. You should also enable this feature if you are using a multi-language keyboard or if you are using the Windows NT operating system.

Otherwise, there's really no need to enable this BIOS feature.
