you are absolutely sure you are not going to need them.
Parallel port
This sets the I/O port and interrupt used by the parallel port. You
can select standard, or extended port modes. To obtain the extended
port modes it will be necessary to change the I/O setting.
Standard mode Output only.
Extended mode Bi-directional Simple two way data.
EPP Enhanced parallel port
compatible operation.
ECP Extended capabilities port
operation.
Any parallel port devices that you may wish to attach, such as a tape
streamer or external hard drive etc., will have full instructions
supplied with them that will tell you if the port capabilities need to
be altered to one of the extended options above.
Mouse
This tells the system that a mouse is connected to the mouse port.
The mouse is then detected by the POST. You should not normally
change this setting.
