Solaris on Tecra 550CDT: BIOS Setup

I dare to repeat here a warning that you may encounter more than once across the pages describing installation of Solaris on Tecra laptop. Two changes to the default Toshiba's setup are mandatory:

• Parameter Controller Mode in PC CARD section must be changed to PCIC Compatible in order to use PCMCIA card(s) with Solaris/x86.

• One or both of devices Serial and Built-in Modem in I/O PORTS section must be disabled (set to Not Used) to free up IRQs if you're going to use one or two PCMCIA cards, e.g. network and modem.

Now the BIOS setup display as shown by TSETUP utility:
