And here are my FAQs with what I think are the answers (which means they are possibly wrong, but then you get the idea, what some ppl might misunderstand): Q) What does Plug-and-Play BIOS setting do? A) It allows the OS to reassign IRQ/ports to devices (?) Q) When should I turn it on or off? A) If your BIOS is doing the right thing for you it's safe to turn it off. If you trust your OS more, turn it on. (?) Q) Which OSes should I trust? What about multiboot systems? A) Linux > 2.4.x, M$ xxx, etc. (?) Q) What bad thing might happen, if a non P&P OS has in the BIOS a P&P setting or vice versa? A) ... (?)
