Other (but not all) i386-specific improvements are:
|
|
|
|
|
* APM support
|
|
|
|
|
* bounce-buffer support so that busmaster ISA controllers
|
|
|
|
|
work for machines with > 16M
|
|
|
|
|
* floppy formatting support
|
|
|
|
|
* improved detection of the amount of memory present in the
|
|
|
|
|
machine
|
|
|
|
|
* support for FAT32 filesystems
